ADNAN OKTAR: … My meeting with Rabbis wound them up, and they published pictures of it. Let me show this (New Humanist magazine). Because they announced that Jews were the enemies of Muslims and planned to set Jews and Muslims at war.
PRESENTER: By provoking.
ADNAN OKTAR: I thwarted those plans. I showed our friendship, brotherhood and love for Jews, thus spoiling that corruption, thanks be to Allah.
PRESENTER: Masha’Allah.
ADNAN OKTAR: They tried to incite war between Iran and Turkey. By Allah’s leave, we were instrumental in thwarting that plan. America was thinking of a bloody assault on Iran. We prevented that. Thanks be to Allah.
PRESENTER: Masha’Allah...
ADNAN OKTAR: Of course. Terrible madness. And they (Iranians) were saying they would destroy Israel, Ahmadinejad said he would wipe Israel off the map. But I said "Brother, what you say is out of question. That is because there are Muslims there, and devout Jews, and children, immaculate people who have committed no crime or no sin." Let’s say atheist Zionists are our targets... but why kill them? Should even atheist Zionists be killed? If they are oppressing people, you can still win them over by talking to them...
PRESENTER: Of course. Is killing the answer?
ADNAN OKTAR: These (devout Jews) are very lovely and loving people. Jews in any case like me very much indeed. For example, they say: "May things turn out as you say. If only the Turkish-Islamic Union were to be founded and everyone could live at ease, but there is pressure put on us." How could one raise a hand against such delightful people? Even if someone is irreligious, he is still a child of your motherland. He is irreligious today, but he may believe tomorrow. And even if he does not believe, Allah will punish him, and we cannot know it. He may even believe in secret. How can we tell? We cannot. Are we to go to his house in the last 10 minutes?
PRESENTER: Of course.
ADNAN OKTAR: He says, "O Lord", does he not? He prostrates himself and says, "Forgive me, forgive my sins." Allah will forgive him. How can we know?
PRESENTER: Insha‘Allah.
ADNAN OKTAR: So it is wrong to sit down and label people. We strive for the good, for improvement...
