Mr. Oktar seeks to provide a compassionate approach for all peoples and based on his ideals he has been holding delegations from various countries representing Muslims, Jews and Christians in order to establish peace by means of discourse. He is a firm believer in the concepts of democracy, laicism, and civil liberties for all; indeed he has often explained on his television broadcasts that the aforementioned ideas do not conflict with Islam in any way whatsoever.
