Adnan Oktar: Yes that high respect, courtesy and reverence should be showed. He was tested with this excellent trial from Allah. Allah hasn’t bestowed this to us but him. So this is beautiful. Let’s show respect to martyrs’ families in everywhere. In other words as a nation let all of us provide opportunities to them. WHAT THEY HAVE IS SO BEAUTIFUL. THEY ARE MARTYRS’ FAMILIES. WHAT AN HONOR TO BE A MARTYR’S FATHER OR MOTHER. WHAT A PROUD! A SERVICE COMMENDATION MEDAL SHOULD BE GIVEN TO BOTH THE MARTYR’S FATHER AND MOTHER.  THEY SHOULD CARRY THESE ON THEIR CHESTS SO WE HUG THEM WHEREVER WE SEE THEM.

Adnan Oktar: …feel so much affection. What is a martyr? A martyr is a blessing to a country. Allah protects the country by means of martyrs. LET’S GIVE SERVICE COMMENDATION MEDALS TO THE FAMILIES OF THE MARTYRS, THE FATHERS AND THE MOTHERS. WE NEED TO SEE THIS HAPPEN. SO WE CAN HAVE AN IDEA ABOUT THEM WHEN WE MEET THEM ON THE STREET. THE MEDAL SHOULD BE MADE BY A GOLD OF 24 CARAT. OF COURSE, THE MATERIAL SIDE IS NOT IMPORTANT BUT THE SPLENDOR IS IMPORTANT. THE MEDAL SHOULD BE SO PROMINENT AND BLAZING. No procedures should be handled. Whenever the news are reached; in other words, a military officer arrives to the family with the news of a martyr he should IMMEDIATELY GIVE THE MEDAL TO THE FAMILY. From that moment on, no matter if the martyr is a private soldier or a general, the medal should be given to the family… The martyr’s family is poor. So it is unacceptable to behave in another way. Never more unacceptable!
