Tayyip Erdoğan: "We will focus on the contents of the education of youth"

Stating for many years that Darwinism is a philosophy outright denying God, Esteemed Adnan Oktar says that the fallacies of the theory of evolution, as well as the information about creation should be included in the curriculum. Mr. Oktar also gives voice over and over again to the need for raising a generation with a national conscience.

Likewise, referring to the changes to be made in the Turkish curriculum, the President, Mr. Erdogan has recently stated "We have seen that laying the ground work is not enough."

ADNAN OKTAR: A national conscience class should be introduced in schools. When Darwinism and materialism are eliminated, so will be the source of new members for the PKK. Because, eliminating these philosophies means eliminating the ideology that drives the PKK. This way, there will be no more suicide bombers. Why would a person accept to be a suicide bomber when he is full of love and fear towards God? Why would such a person become a Darwinist, a materialist? Turkish state supports Darwinism. The Ministry of National Education is ceaselessly teaching Darwinism to the youth.

ADNAN OKTAR: If we want level-headed, profound people who abide by the Quran and its tenets, we should abandon the Darwinist education system. Turkey should abolish the Darwinist education system. This would be a major blow to the irreligious and the system of antichrist; it would make a huge impact. It would be wonderful to explain Darwinism in greater detail and offer a response against it.

ADNAN OKTAR: If we do not want our ties with our national identity to be severed, the first thing we should do is to put an end to the Darwinist education system. 

Darwinist, materialist education system poses the direst of threats. Because, the Darwinist philosophy denies God, the Prophets, the revelations, in other words, Darwinism is a system that denies everything we consider sacred. The state is promoting Darwinism by publishing and distributing millions of books to elementary, middle and high schools, as well as universities. Teacher Tayyip should specifically address this gravest issue.

ADNAN OKTAR: Training a person to be a technical worker and training a person to be religious, to be a Muslim is two very different things. When people trained to be Muslims, to be men of cause, these believers band together in the face of a crisis; however, when people are trained to be technical workers, they do not care about anything other than their occupations. They never put themselves at risk, or wish to go through difficulties for others. They only seek personal interest. Of course, I do not refer to all of them; some of them might act differently but most of them are like this. In conclusion, if personal gains, interests are prioritized in the world, people will only seek self-interest; but, if a world that is befitting of God's approval is desired, then, a pious youth should be raised through the truths of faith and miracles of the Quran. 

In his speech, the President Erdogan stated the following regarding the changes to be made on the contents of the national curriculum:

"We have seen that laying the ground work is not enough. In this field, serious studies and effort have to be made regarding the contents of the conscience and the education that will be provided to new generations. 

Therefore, as I have discussed this with the former Minister of National Education and will do so with the current Minister of National Education as well, we have decided that in this new term, we will focus on the contents of the curriculum.”
