Yeni Şafak, 28 May 2008 “Turkey must serve as an ‘older brother’ to Muslims” |
A statement by Fathi Yakan, head of the Lebanese Islamic Labor Front: “Underlining Turkey's importance in the region, Yakan said THEY EXPECTED TURKEY TO ASSUME THE ROLE OF “OLDER BROTHER” TO MUSLIM ARAB COUNTRIES. Yakan went on to describe how in terms of both its strategic position and its past experience Turkey was in a position to lead the Arab Union, and referred to the Ottoman Empire by saying that "heroes rise up where they fall." |
Konya TV-March 4, 2008 Adnan Oktar: They are a really heroic nation. That is why they must undertake this duty straightaway. The Turkish-Islamic world longs for it to assume the leadership. We have spoken with all the Turkic states. Just about every one wants Turkey to serve as leader. We speak and learn from all the leading figures from the Islamic world. They all want to see Turkey take over as leader. There is no sense in prolonging matters. THE TURKISH STATE AND TURKISH NATION MUST FINALLY LEAD THE TURKISH-ISLAMIC WORLD. This is a crucial responsibility. Otherwise, we would be held accountable for all of them. Adnan Oktar: The liberation of Palestine is down to us. And the salvation of Israel. Israel will be able to relax with us. Armenia, Turkistan, Tajikistan, Iran and Pakistan will all attain salvation with us at the helm. Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria will jump for joy if Turkey becomes leader. That is why we must delay no longer. Turkey must actively want the job. Nobody will object. Nobody will stand up and say they refuse to accept if Turkey asks for the job. It is something everyone wants. |
Bağdat TV-March 2, 2008 Adnan Oktar: Yes, inshaAllah we have the idea of a great Islamic Union. Along the lines of a Turkish Islamic Union. We have an idea regarding the Muslim world being the greatest superpower. IT WILL UNIFY THE WHOLE ISLAMIC WORLD AND THE WHOLE TURKISH WORLD UNDER TURKISH LEADERSHIP AND GUIDANCE. The Turkish world is in any case made up of Muslims, I am merely saying that for reasons of clarity. In other words, it means that an Islamic Union will emerge at the same time. We believe that this unification will bring with it peace, plenty and prosperity. We think that wars will end, and that the money now spent on wars will instead be spent in ways beneficial to mankind. And we believe that the time for this is at hand. Our fundamental belief, however, is that the Turkish Islamic Union will come about with the appearance in the End Times of the blessed Mahdi. |
