Mr. Mehmet Gormez: We have always blamed others; we need to look at ourselves

Recently, people from different circles have also begun to mention Mr. Adnan Oktar’s comment that Muslims are to blame the most for the oppression found in  Muslim lands and it is wrong to look for other countries to blame.

ADNAN OKTAR: The death of babies, young girls and the elderly; they are all painful and wrong. What needs to be done is the Islamic Union: Had there been Islamic Union, there would not be any “Syria issue”. Those who oppose the Islamic Union are those who are responsible for the Syrian issue, right? For example, a person may not be able to lift something with one finger but he can with five fingers; the Syrian issue is like this. So without the Islamic Union, the whole Muslim community would be devastated and of course the Syrian issue could become an intricate and complicated thing; blood would spill and pain would continue. So blaming America here would be darkly humorous. Blaming Russia would also be a laughing matter.

The Muslim community is the one to blame. Had Muslims united and carried out Allah’s command and formed the Islamic Union, the Syrian issue would be solved that day and that minute. No one would object to this. Well known scholars object to the Islamic Union; they don't accept it. Very rarely do we see articles about the Islamic Union published in  newspapers. Allah doesn't like this. He doesn't like this. Then Allah would take his vengeance. He would inflict pain, suffering, fear and troubles on people; all sorts of troubles and misfortune would surround the Muslim world and it already does. So there is no point in resisting the Islamic Union; they need to accept this solution once and for all. If there were the Islamic Union do you think we would have an Afghanistan issue? Or an Iraqi issue? Or any problems in Pakistan or Egypt? The problems would be solved immediately.

ADNAN OKTAR: If Muslims were strong -willed and determined about this, the problem would be solved. But if they are weak then of course everyone will slap and crush them. A Muslim has to be strong and determined as revealed in the Qur’an. They must unite, support and establish the Islamic Union and choose a leader. Then no one could divide them and drag them into events. When there is such an easy formula, it would be really wrong to oppose Allah’s command, and say, “Israel has divided and ruined us. We cannot help being divided.” They need to look for this in the speeches of their own scholars. Which Israeli scholar comes to them and says  “divide?” They want to be divided. They say, “There is mercy in being divided.” They say, “There is mercy in conflict.” They say, “There is mercy in fighting with one another.” In short, they say that there is mercy and goodness in war. Why should Israel’s intervention be necessary for people with this mentality?

At the symposium  “Love of Hz. Hussain For the Unity of the Ummah”, President of the Deparment of Religious Affairs Mehmet Gormez said:

“Today the honor and dignity of Muslims are being destroyed by the hand of some in a way never seen  throughout history. We have always blamed others and referred to their insidious ambitions. But let’s look at ourselves for once. Let’s review the way we raise our people.”
