Mr. Adnan Oktar's Opinions Regarding the Violence of the Holocaust and Statements Concerning the Claims about the Book The Holocaust Lie

The book The Holocaust Lie was not written by Mr. Oktar. It was written by someone called Nuri Ozbudak and published without Mr. Oktar's permission. A protest was issued by Mr. Oktar in a notarized document and announced to the public. The original document is set out for readers' attention below. Mr. Oktar's book The Holocaust Violence in which his own ideas are set out was published subsequently.

In The Holocaust Violence Mr. Oktar states that the Nazis perpetrated one of the worst genocides in history and committed mass slaughter. He describes how Hitler's followers committed a terrible massacre especially of devout Jews, as well as the scale of this. He states that this was the product of a Darwinist, fascist mindset, and that the most evident implementation of the ruthless and cruel thinking, the essence of Darwinism, came in the Second World War. The Holocaust Violence, which contains Mr. Oktar's true ideas is therefore a rare and very important work that proves the terrible genocide perpetrated against genuine Jews.
Mr. Oktar constantly reiterates his love and affection for worthy Jews, descended from the Prophet Abraham (pbuh), in his works and interviews. He set these views out in an interview for Der Spiegel magazine on 14 September, 2008:
ADNAN OKTAR: The book, The Holocaust Lie, is by one of my friends, Nuri Ozbudak. It is not one of my books. He published his own essays under that title. Later we protested against this through the Public Notary and declared the fact to the public. This was the subject of a protest. I did not take any other legal action, but only protested through the Public Notary. I sent the protest from the Public Notary Office because he used my name but published it under his own name. My book expressing my own ideas was published later.
INTERVIEWER: So you never denied the Holocaust?
ADNAN OKTAR: The Nazis not only massacred Jews, but a great many other people as well. They committed a great mass murder. But they also mercilessly killed devout Jews. This is surely the atrocious work of Darwinist fascists. This is a fact. I have provided a detailed account of it [in my book The Holocaust Violence]. Jews are the descendents of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh), they are the descendents of the prophets. They are valuable people. I love Jews very much. That is to say, the Prophets Isaac, Jacob, Ishmael, Joseph and Solomon (peace be upon them all); they are all prophets and they all come from this particular line of descent. Accordingly those who attempt to annihilate the Jewish line of descent also annihilate that of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh). It is unimaginable for a Muslim to remain silent in the face of an action intended to annihilate the line of descent of a prophet. He will surely take action. I have also taken a strong action in this regard; I emphatically reject the present pressure on the Jews, the attempts to annihilate them, the acts of all sorts intended to remove them from their country and oppose them.

How New Humanist used the same methods to raise the subject of the cocaine conspiracy, an element of the psychological war against Adnan Oktar:

New Humanist magazine has once again raised the subject of a plot against Adnan Oktar several years ago, of which Mr. Adnan was acquitted in court. This is the cocaine plot against Adnan Oktar. Although the cocaine conspiracy against Adnan Oktar set up by the alleged Ergenekon organization was exposed by judicial bodies, it has again been raised by this pro-atheist publication as if it were genuine fact. The fact is that the cocaine conspiracy against Adnan Oktar is an indication of what the alleged Ergenekon organization, with its materialist and Darwinist ideology, is capable of solely because of its unease at the spread of Adnan Oktar’s national and spiritual values.
In the middle of 1991, Adnan Oktar and a few colleagues were detained in Izmir with no grounds being provided. He was later transferred to the Istanbul Security Department, where he was held for 72 hours. At the end of 72 hours he was sent to the Forensic Medicine Institution for a cocaine test. And it was announced that a large quantity of a cocaine side product had been found in Adnan Oktar’s blood. If the enormous amount of cocaine allegedly extracted from Adnan Oktar’s blood had been taken before 72 hours, it would have killed him. This shows that this amount of cocaine had entered Adnan Oktar’s body shortly before, within the previous 72 hours, in other words while he was in detention. In other words, the cocaine had been mixed in with his food while he was detained at the Security Department. It emerged through reports from 20 foreign forensic medicine institutions and from an official report from the Turkish Forensic Medicine Institution that this was a plot against , and the court acquitted him, saying the whole thing was a plot. This incident shows the kind of plan set in motion by the sinister forces wishing to hinder Adnan Oktar’s activities and just what they are capable of. You can find detailed information about this matter, presented here in summary, from here.

New Humanist's Unrealistic Claims about the SRF's Activities Regarding Ataturk

New Humanist magazine employed statements made by someone totally unknown to the SRF circle to make deeply unpleasant allegations about that group. It is apparent that the claims concerning Mustafa Kemal Ataturk are the product of a seriously flawed logic. Adnan Oktar is today the person who publishes the finest, best quality and most influential books concerning Ataturk and who arranges Ataturk exhibitions and praises him in interviews addressed to the whole world.  He has many times expressed his love of and devotion to Ataturk, before the eyes of the whole world, on a great many television programs he has taken part in. Just a few examples of these are as follows:

Ekin TV, 29 January 2009

Ekin TV: Now, on the subject of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, you have written books about Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. Could you expand on the subject for us? How do you describe Ataturk, or how do you describe his heart?
ADNAN OKTAR: Masha’Allah, yes, Ataturk was a heroic figure. He was very handsome and very intelligent, an esteemed Ottoman general and a heroic Turkish general and commander in chief. Ataturk’s religious devotion was greater than most people can ever achieve. He had a commentary on the Qur’an prepared, for instance, the Elmali commentary, which is very important. He also had a commentary drawn up on Bukhari, the Sahih Bukhari, one of the most important of the books of hadith, and had that printed. He set up the Religious Affairs Office, the state’s largest organization, the Religious Affairs Office. And he established a system for us to experience religion in an honest and sincere manner. He did away with hypocrisy. He set up the laic system that would eliminate hypocrisy. And he opened the way for us to live by genuine Islam. It is a miracle that people still cannot understand the way that he put an end to occupation, broke the enemy occupation.  It was a blessing on him from Allah. Our Ataturk was a blessing. Because he rebuilt a state and a nation that had been completely shattered and destroyed. Allah used him as His instrument, masha’Allah. May Allah be pleased with him. And the Great Commander was a lover of the Qur’an. He is someone who had the Qur’an recited every evening and took great pleasure from that. He is someone who investigated and researched both the true meaning of the Qur’an and who also enjoyed hearing it recited. He had special people who knew the Qur’an by heart, a little known fact. And he enjoyed having it recited to people around him and listening to it himself. That is why the more people know about Ataturk the more they love him and value him. We must talk about him in terms of this reality. He was an anti-communist. “Gentlemen,” he said, “communism is the greatest foe of the Turkish nation. It must be crushed wherever it is seen.”  Pearls fell from his lips, masha’Allah. That is why I describe him as a lion. There is so much to him. Who else would have had the courage to close down the masonic lodges? He told them to close the lodges down at once, and they were shut down that very evening. Nobody in the world would have had the courage to close down the masonic lodges. That is the heroism he displayed. There is no end to Ataturk’s heroism.

Kanal Malatya, 7 January 2009

Kanal Malatya: Was Ataturk religious?
Adnan Oktar: Ataturk was both religious and a perfect human being. One could describe him all day. Just think, he had a commentary on the Qur’an drawn up, on the book that represents fundamental knowledge for Muslims. He had it done by the most immaculate scholar. By Elmali. Elmali Hamdi Yazir Efendi. And he provided that commentary for the Turkish people. He also had the most trustworthy book of hadith explained. He ordered a commentary and made the Sahih Bukhari available to the public. He had the Religious Affairs Office set up. He said that communism was the worst foe of the Turkish nation and must be crushed wherever it was seen. Heroic language, masha’Allah. He espoused Turkish Union, Islamic union and Turkish-Islamic union. He loved the Qur’an. He had the Qur’an recited for him every evening.  He knew all about the excellent life of the Prophet (saas). He was a true admirer of the Prophet (saas). Ataturk said so many great things about the Prophet (saas). As I say, I could go on all day...  For example, Ataturk said: “O Nation, Allah is One and great is His glory.” See what pearls fall from his lips. “May the goodness, and protection of Allah be upon you. Note that the laws imposed by Him are the most glorious verses of the Qur’an. Our religion is the last religion that has bestowed the spirit of spiritual power on people. Because if our religion were not compatible with logic and the truth, there would be differences between it and other faiths and of course laws. It is Almighty Allah Who made these divine laws.” He was a complete son of Islam. All Muslims must follow the path shown by the Prophet Muhammad (saas). And they must fully obey his commands. All Muslims must take the Prophet Muhammad (saas) as a role model and behave just like him. They must implement all the rules of Islam, because only then can people be saved and prosper.
It is Adnan Oktar who most powerfully describes Ataturk’s religious devotion and profound love of Allah and our Prophet (saas). Adnan Oktar has these web sites in Turkish about Ataturk:

http://www.basogretmenataturk.com/
http://www.bozkurtataturk.com/

Some of Adnan Oktar’s valuable works in Turkish about Ataturk are:
Ataturk, a genuinely devout person
Real Ataturkism
Ataturk and Youth
Understanding Ataturk
Ataturk Encyclopedia Volume I
Ataturk Encyclopedia Volume II
Ataturk, the Soldier

The Sinister Plans of the Alleged Terror Organization Ergenekon Aimed at Mr. Adnan Oktar Are Very Striking

The securing of various MSN text messages, telephone conversations and other records in the context of the still ongoing alleged terror organization Ergenekon case has revealed some very significant facts. It has emerged from the records in question that Mr. Oktar and his colleagues are at the top of the list of the groups to be combated. It was then learned that a great many of those mentioned with regard to the investigation into Mr. Oktar and members of the BAV community have either been arrested or are facing charges of membership of the alleged terror organization Ergenekon. Some of these individuals are:
Adil Serdar Sacan, former Chief of Istanbul Anti-Organized Crime Department, who ran the police operation against the BAV community in 1999 and is now on trial, together with his team, on separate charges of torturing members of the BAV community (Forensic Medicine Reports are attached herewith), the defendants all facing prison sentences of 216 years each, has also been detained on charges of links to the alleged organization Ergenekon and has been held on remand in prison for a long time. He is still a defendant on these same charges.
Tuncay Ozkan, a figure who initiated an unbelievable lynch campaign in the press against the BAV community, is also currently in prison over links to the alleged terror organization Ergenekon. Tuncay Ozkan obtained, by illegal means, documents such as statements not written by the detainees but the detainees were forced to sign while at the Security Department, search warrants and various other legal documents that should all be under legal protection and published them, again illegally.
The documents obtained within the scope of the alleged terror organization Ergenekon investigation about activities targeting the BAV community were by no means limited to these. It emerged from other documents in the case file that Emin Sirin, former independent member of Parliament for Istanbul, currently facing trial on charges of being responsible for lobbying on behalf of the alleged terror organization Ergenekon, was also engaged in intensive activities against the BAV community.
As we have already set out in considerable detail, Umit Sayin, known for his activities against the BAV community and who can be seen to have referred to plans against the BAV community in the documents captured in the context of the investigation into the alleged organization Ergenekon, also spent time in prison on the case and is still a defendant in it.
It was seen from these and other documents captured during the investigation into the alleged organization Ergenekon that there has been a deliberate policy of intimidation against Mr. Oktar for many years now. This state of affairs makes it very likely that there is a connection between the constant plots against Mr. Oktar and this alleged organization.
However, the fact is that true and worthy Muslims who live for His good pleasure will always be under the protection of Almighty Allah. By His leave and with His assistance, the works of Mr. Oktar have today spread right across the world, despite all these plots and policies of intimidation, and people have embarked on a great and powerful intellectual struggle against atheism, Darwinism and materialism. This success will grow still further and, by Allah's leave, people's feelings of faith will grow with every passing day.

The Collapse of Darwinism caused Panic at New Humanist

The groundlessness of the claims regarding Ebru Simsek

Several court rulings definitively established that Ebru Simsek’s allegations against Mr. Adnan Oktar and the SRF circle were all slanders. But New Humanist magazine never mentioned the rulings in question, presenting all of Ebru Simsek’s claims as if they were true fact. This is an example of a most familiar psychological warfare method conducted by masons, atheists and Darwinists. 
Judicial rulings showing that all of Ebru Simsek’s claims are slanders:

1. The Chief Prosecutor’s Office’s considered acquittal opinion showing that Ebru Simsek’s allegations in Case No. 2006/26, an extension of the SRF case, were slanders and the VERDICT OF ACQUITTAL No. 2007/7 dated 22.01.2007 by the Istanbul 2nd High Criminal Court.
2. The Istanbul Chief Prosecutor’s Office’s VERDICT OF NON-PROSECUTION of Ebru Simsek's fantastical claims (in 1999) under ruling No. 96/9848 Hz – 99/8409 K. dated 12.08.1999. 
3. The Istanbul Chief Prosecutor’s Office’s VERDICT OF NON-PROSECUTION No. 05/27549 Hz. - 05/12003 K. dated 18.10.2005.

6. The Bagcilar Public Prosecutor’s Office’s verdict of non-prosecution No. 02/21669 Hz. - 03/6120 K. dated 15.10.2003 and the Eyup 2nd High Criminal Court’s VERDICT OF REFUSAL OF OBJECTION No. 03/894 D.Is. dated 02.01.2004 regarding the refusal of objection against the former.
7. The Uskudar Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office’s verdict of non-prosecution No. 04/7693 Hz. - 04/4749 K. dated 01.07.2004 and the Kadikoy 2nd High Criminal Court’s VERDICT OF REFUSAL OF OBJECTION No. 04/437 Mut. dated 09.09.2004 regarding the refusal of objection against the former.

10. Following the known images of Ebru Simsek in the press, an Istanbul University Medical School Department of Forensic Medicine expert carried out an inquiry in which IT WAS ESTABLISHED UNDER REPORT No. 2005/127765 dated 21.10.2005 that Ebru Simsek’s claims were merely slanders.
11. Istanbul 2nd High Criminal Court had the home in the allegations of Ebru Simsek and the home in the images examined by an official expert, accompanied by the court judges. This expert report revealed that THE HOME IN THE IMAGES DEFINITELY DID NOT BELONG TO THE SRF MEMBER.
12. Filiz Karatas, who shared a house with Ebru Simsek at the time she began issuing slanders against the SRF members, gave a witness statement to the court in Istanbul 2nd High Criminal Court file No. 04/337 E. on 09.12.2004 and said that the SRF members were uninvolved in the matter and THAT THEY HAD ISSUED THIS IMAGINARY ALLEGATION TOGETHER TO SLANDER THE SRF.
13. Ten separate criminal complaints brought by those slandered by Ebru Simsek were examined by 10 different Public Prosecutors from different offices; these prosecutors concluded, as a result of their investigations, that Ebru Simsek’s claims were slanderous.

The Baselessness of the claims against Mr. Adnan Oktar and SRF circle suggesting “alleged different religious practices.”

New Humanist magazine expressed some of the baseless claims of some masonic, Darwinist and materialist centers together with their biased comments and brought forward the claim that Mr. Adnan Oktar allegedly engaged in different religious practices. However this unreal claim, which is totally based on speculations, is nothing beyond a slander made by some masonic centers to attain their insidious goals. Indeed this claim is refuted by countless evidences. 
Mr. Oktar’s works and interviews expounding the Ahl Al-Sunnah creed, the obligatory nature and merits of the salat 5 times a day are closely followed worldwide. Furthermore these are included in Adnan Oktar’s books that have been published since 1990s. Consequently there exists no evidence and witness to bring such a claim against Adnan Oktar.
When Adnan Oktar’s works are examined, his views regarding to adherence to Ahl Al-Sunnah in performance of salat are explicitly seen. In the book, Quick Grasp of Faith- 1, p.63 and 64, the author expounds that salat is five times a day and it is made up of a total of 40 rakat including its obligatory, essential and sunnah rakats. In the book, Basic Tenets of Islam, p. 81-83, it is again explicitly related that salat is 5 times a day and is made up of 40 rakats. In another book of the author, Perfected Faith, p. 24-25, he explains that salat is performed 5 times a day.
Our valuable Theology professors also submitted their scientific opinions stating that the author’s religious understanding is in line with the Hanafi school and in compliance with Ahl Al-Sunnah. Prof. MEHMET BAYRAKDAR, one of these valuable professors from Ankara University Theology Faculty, states the following in his scientific opinion: 

“ IN NONE OF THE WORKS OF THE AUTHOR THERE EXISTS ANY VIEWS CONTRARY TO THE QUR’AN AND SUNNAH, THE FUNDEMENTAL SOURCES OF ISLAM. On the contrary, our traditional Turkish-Islamic understanding is preserved. Any information contrary to our national and religious customs does not exist...”

Below are the scientific opinions of the valuable theology professors proving the baselessness of the claims suggesting that the author “allegedly engaged in different religious practices”:

1-    Prof. Dr. Salih Akdemir’s (Ankara University Qur’anic Commentary Department Academic Member) 20.03.2000 dated opinion
2-    Prof. Dr. Mevlüt Güngör’s (Ankara University Qur’anic Commentary Department Chairman) 25.03.2000 dated opinion
3-    Prof. Dr. Hayrettin Karaman’s (European International Islam University Academic Member) opinion
4-    Prof. Dr. M. Saim Yeprem’s (Marmara University Theology Faculty Dean) 20.10.2000 dated opinion
5-    Prof. Dr. M. Hayri Kırbaşoğlu’s (Ankara University Hadith Department Acadamic Member) 28.03.2000 dated opinion

Baselessness of libels having sexual content against Mr. Adnan Oktar and his friends

New Humanist, an atheist and Darwinist magazine, amazingly cites some disproved claims against Mr. Adnan Oktar and thus becomes a part of an anti-propaganda. The line of the magazine in question, which is an atheist and Darwinist publication, clearly reveals its biased attitudes in its claims against Mr. Adnan Oktar. Like all atheist, Darwinist publications, this magazine also appears to be severely annoyed by the strong anti-Darwinist activities.
Libels with sexual content against Adnan Oktar and Science Research Foundation (SRF) have always been an important indicator of the unease felt by Darwinists. Whenever atheist and Darwinist parties sense their defeat, they lose no time resorting to libels having sexual content, which is the most delicate subject of the society. Consequently it is not surprising that such claims were revealed in New Humanist magazine. For the claim in question to be accepted, there should primarily be a complainant, an aggrieved party and a witness. Yet, for the claim in question to be accepted as true, there exists not a single witness, complainant or an aggrieved party. Furthermore, it is legally proven that the claim of hidden cameras referred to in New Humanist has no validity whatsoever. The verdicts of acquittal and dismissal of proceedings given by the Courts and public prosecutors totally disprove this claim. Indeed there exists not a single video camera or a recording that would verify this claim.
Tugce Doras and Seckin Piriler, two people New Humanist tries to show as witnesses, are the people who had to sign the testimonies put in front of them under duress in the police station. These people then stated that they were subjected to pressure in the police station and thus refused to accept their testimonies in police station. Furthermore, they declared before the judge that they do not accept their testimonies since they were subjected to pressure in the police station. They further added that they had not been oppressed or harmed either by Adnan Oktar or anyone from this community, and that there exists not an interest with sexual-content as claimed in question. The statements in question are available in court minutes. You can reach related detailed information and documents from here.
The claims stated here are based on the testimonies signed under duress and torture by all SRF members tried and taken under custody as a result of the plots hatched by the alleged Ergenekon terror organization in 1999. According to the law, police testimonies signed under torture and in the absence of advocates are utterly invalid. However, based on the invalid testimonies taken by police, the Court imposed a penalty on the SRF case. These testimonies illegally considered by the Court as a basis for the verdict, the very same explanations, are repeated in the New Humanist and presented to the readers as if they have any actuality.

The Groundless Nature of the Claims on Wikipedia Regarding Mr. Adnan Oktar's Views Concerning Zionism and the Jews

The behavior advised to all Muslims in the Qur'an involves treating the People of the Book with love, respect, affection and compassion, protecting and watching over them and meeting their needs in the finest manner. As a Muslim who sincerely abides by the Qur'an, Mr. Oktar feels the love toward Christians and Jews that is commanded in the Qur'an, watches over and protects them, wants them to live by their faiths in peace and security and strives for that end. Indeed, he frequently expresses this in his writings and interviews. This can clearly be seen from the way that the Sanhedrin rabbis and Israeli government officials he recently hosted described the feelings of friendship and closeness they received from Mr. Oktar.
You can access all the articles and interviews on this subject from the UnionOfFaiths.com web site.
You can watch Mr. Oktar's meetings with Sanhedrin rabbis and other Israeli officials here, here and here.
The logic and intellectual system that Mr. Oktar has been criticizing for years is that of the atheist Zionists. It is of course unthinkable to ascribe this mindset to truly devout Jews.
There are two varieties of Zionism today. The first of these is the Zionist conception of the devout Jewish people, who wish to live in peace and security in Israel alongside Muslims, seeking peace and wishing to worship in the lands of their forefathers and engage in business. In that sense, Muslims support Zionism. We would fully back the devout Jewish people living in peace and security in their own lands, remembering Allah, worshipping in their synagogues and engaging in science and trade in their own land.
The Zionist belief held by a devout Jew and based on the Torah does not in any way conflict with the Qur'an. The Jews' living in that region is indicated in the Qur'an, in which it is revealed that Allah has settled the Children of Israel on it:

Remember when Moses said to his people, "My people! Remember Allah's blessing to you when He appointed prophets among you and appointed kings for you, and gave you what He had not given to anyone else in all the worlds! My people! Enter the Holy Land which Allah has ordained for you. Do not turn back in your tracks and so become transformed into losers." (Surat al-Ma'ida: 20-21)

It is the "irreligious, Godless Zionism" that we as Muslims condemn and regard as a threat. These Godless Zionists, who do not defend the existence and oneness of Allah, but, on the contrary, encourage a Darwinist, materialist perspective and thus engage in irreligious propaganda, are also a threat to devout Jews. Godless Zionism is today engaged in a struggle against peace, security and moral virtue, and constantly produces strife and turmoil and the shedding of blood.
One of the hundreds of statements by Mr. Oktar regarding the need to watch over and protect devout Jews reads:
ADNAN OKTAR: We should earnestly take care of devout Jews in Israel, just like we watch over Palestine most efficaciously. They are entirely ours, some of them are children of the Prophet Jacob (pbuh), and others are children of the Prophet Ishmael (pbuh). Some of them are descendants of the Prophet Jacob (pbuh), some are descendants of the Prophet Ishmael (pbuh). They are the lineage of the prophets. The entire nation and breed comes from the prophets and they are very devout and pure people. There are atheist Zionists and masons who are troubling them. There is a group that aims to break them and make them destroy one another. We need to pull them aside, to withdraw this evil clan and let our devout and pure brothers of prophet lineage live in happiness there. One-sided politics is wrong, that would not conform to justice or conscience. It would not be reasonable as well. And we cannot ignore such glory because Jews are very devout and dignified people. We must definitely protect and safeguard them, but at the same time we must free the Palestinians from these troubles as our brothers.
(http://us2.harunyahya.com/Detail/T/EDCRFV/productId/19170/)
Mr. Oktar said the following in one of his recent statements:
ADNAN OKTAR: The pronouncement of the Qur'an regarding the People of the Book [Jews and Christians] is crystal clear, and is also clear from the Sunnah of our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace). The people of the Book are our La Ilaha IllaAllah (there is no deity but Allah) brothers; Armenians, Jews, the Orthodox, Protestants and the whole Christian world are all our brothers. We all believe in the same Allah. There is the same belief in the Christian, Jewish and Islamic worlds. We are all the children of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh). Members of all three faiths share the same basic beliefs, and the existence of the People of the Book is therefore a great blessing. Islam is not solely based on the peace and comfort of Muslims. The Qur'an says that the People of the Book also exist. And according to the Qur'an, the People of the Book must also live in peace and comfort and be protected by Muslims. It is an excellent thing to live as brothers and talk and converse with the People of the Book. According to the Qur'an, one may marry members of the People of the Book, eat their food and enjoy business and social relationships with them. Islam demands that the People of the Book be shown affection and respect. This is a religious obligation for Muslims. Allah says in one verse:
Today all good things have been made lawful for you. And the food of those given the Book is also lawful for you and your food is lawful for them. So are chaste women from among the believers and chaste women of those given the Book before you, once you have given them their dowries in marriage, not in fornication or taking them as secret intrigues. But as for anyone who rejects faith, his actions will come to nothing and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. (Surat al-Ma'ida, 5)

Baselessness of claims against SRF families

The claims brought by New Humanist regarding SRF members’ attitude toward their families are based on atrocious slanders. Only 4-5 families whose names are included in the evidence files known to be supported by masonic centers and the alleged Ergenekon terror organization members voiced the slanders produced by this alleged terror organization through various speculations. They tried to affect the judgment and carried out a negative propaganda against the SRF community. In order to see the respect and love of SRF members to their families, one should consider the convictions of HUNDREDS of families who explicitly express their views and love for Mr. Adnan Oktar and SRF community rather than a mere 4-5 families supported by the alleged Ergenekon terror organization. Hundreds of families express their gladness about how Mr. Adnan Oktar brought up their children as faithful individuals with moral perfection and state that their children are their greatest supporters and helpers in times of hardship and sickness. You can watch their personal views and the press conference held by these families here.
The claim that families provide money to the community is another consequence of the provocation carried out by people from the alleged organization. This claim, which is asserted to, in their own way, affect the Court and cause indignation in public, has not even a single solid evidence. This claim is utterly disproved by the testimonies before the Court given by 4 people whose names are mentioned in the SRF case indictment. There is neither a witness, nor a complainant or an aggrieved party about this subject.
Furthermore members of the SRF community are made up of 40-45 years old, married people who have regular family and business lives. Each of them are the graduates of prominent Turkish and foreign universities who have quite successful business lives. This claim made against them is, first of all, not becoming to their personalities. This aside, it is also extremely baseless when their financial situations are considered.
Besides, as can also be understood from the statements of the families, these families receive financial contribution from their children. As a requisite of our religion all members of SRF circle consider their families as holy and show great respect and love to them. Consequently such claims are utterly unreal and are based on indecent speculations.
