Live Conversation on Çay TV, March 11th, 2009 ADNAN OKTAR: OUR INJURED VETERANS ARE COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN, WE CANNOT EVEN SEE THEM. VETERANS MUST NOT BE ASKED FOR MONEY. THEY MUST WEAR MEDALS. WE MUST SEE THEM AND THEIR MEDALS. If someone has lost an arm, people should kiss that missing arm. He is a hero. Why should we make our veterans sit at home? Not as a favor, but as something he has earned, because he is a brave man, insha’Allah. He should not be made to pay when he flies somewhere. He should be able to fly anywhere for free. If he buys a shirt, it is a disgrace for the shop to expect him to pay. How can you demand money from wounded veterans? “It is all over, let me embrace you,” you should say. Some people come in wheelchairs, and others on crutches. They are all heroes. Tourist facilities and everything should be free of charge for them. It is very wrong to expect them to spend their lives at home. They spend all their days indoors. How can we treat those heroes like that? WOUNDED VETERANS AND MARTYRS BOTH DESERVE SPECIAL CONCERN AND RESPECT. Then there are those cancer patients, a very small section of society. WE MUST MAKE THEM ALL JEWELS IN OUR CROWN. |
