The claim on the Wikipedia web site about members of the BAV community regarding Turkish academics is entirely fictitious. First of all, it is impossible for there to be any question of aiming to intimidate Turkish academics holding Darwinist views from expressing scientific opinions, because there is nothing scientific at all about the theory of evolution. On the contrary, science had inflicted a huge defeat on the theory of evolution. But the whole world has been under the dominion of the Darwinist dictatorship for the last 150 years. It is therefore impossible for Darwinist scientists to suffer any injustice such as being unable to express their ideas. For the last 150 years, Darwinists have attempted to prop up a false ideology, by concealing science from people and showing them false evidence and offering deceptive accounts. For that reason, no matter what means may be placed at the disposal of evolutionist academics in the future, they will still only be able to offer deception, never science. That is because Darwinism is not scientific, but the worst mass deception in the history of the world.
But in the present century, Darwinism has suffered a huge collapse in the face of the matchless works of Mr. Adnan Oktar and most recently of his Atlas of Creation. This means that Darwinism is a false ideology that can be totally and fundamentally demolished through an intellectual struggle. And Mr. Oktar has eliminated Darwinism from the world with a powerful intellectual campaign. He has shown that all of Darwinism's ridiculous claims are invalid. While Darwinists were maintaining that everything came into being by chance, Mr. Oktar proved that not even a single protein can form coincidentally. While Darwinists have for years been saying that there are millions of transitional fossils, Mr. Oktar has shown there exists not even one transitional fossil, and that all the 300 million fossils unearthed to date prove Creation. Darwinism is a theory that is easily demolished with the revelation of the facts and by way of science. The claim about Darwinist academics is therefore totally unfounded. Their ideology has already collapsed by way of the scientific facts.
It will here be useful to recall one very important fact. The person indicated as the source of these claims of threat is Asst. Prof. Umit Sayin, currently a defendant in the investigation into the alleged terror organization Ergenekon. Umit Sayin is on trial within the scope of alleged organization Ergenekon case on charges of being a member of the illegal organization and inciting an armed uprising against the government of the Republic of Turkey. He is one of Turkey's leading adherents of Darwinism and is known for articles, activities and comments targeting works by Mr. Oktar that demolish Darwinism and materialism. Among the documents that emerged within the scope of the alleged organization Ergenekon investigation from Umit Sayin's computer was a considerable amount of information for use against Mr. Oktar and the BAV. One of the noteworthy documents in the alleged organization Ergenekon case files is Umit Sayin's freemasonry document and his saying "THE MOST IMPORTANT SIGN OF HIS LOYALTY TO THE MASONIC LODGES IS HIS WORK AGAINST HARUN YAHYA (ADNAN OKTAR) AND THE SCIENCE RESEARCH FOUNDATION (BAV)." (http://www.haber5.com/ haber.php? haberid=327899)
In addition, as set out in press reports, telephone records and computer correspondence in the alleged terror organization Ergenekon case files belonging to Umit Sayin also clearly reveal that Mr. Oktar and the BAV circle were targeted.
The Claim That Turkish Academics Were Threatened and Libeled Is Entirely Fictitious
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:

Claims regarding the plots against Mr. Adnan Oktar
Claims of schizophrenia about Mr. Adnan Oktar are baseless: Mr. Adnan Oktar has been subjected to many plots since he has been giving a very comprehensive and strong ideological struggle worldwide against atheist, Darwinist, materialist, communist and masonic centers. One of them is the alleged “schizophrenia diagnosis”, which was annulled when it was proved to be a groundless plot by the related institutions. Mr. Adnan Oktar was held in mental hospital among the most serious mental patients for 10 months without any justification only because of the unease his book Judaism and Freemasonry caused in some certain centers. He was further held in a cell in prison for 9 months. This method of dissuasion employed to put an end to Mr. Oktar’s activities continued for around 19 months through various forms of torture and difficulties. But then this diagnosis made out of a plot to Mr. Oktar was annulled by the military hospital and he was reported to be “spiritually and physically well.” The report in question was also approved by the Supreme Specialty Council.
During the period Mr. Oktar was held in the mental hospital some Darwinist press organs frequently voiced this subject and often published writings against Mr. Oktar. However, when the military hospital annulled the report against Adnan Oktar, these press organs never mentioned a word about the military hospital’s report verifying Mr. Oktar’s physical and spiritual well-being. Similarly New Humanist still employs this devious tactic and only mentions the fake report and never mentions the fact that it is annulled. (You can see Mr. Oktar’s explanations here.)
The “alleged Crime-Organization” Claims against Mr. Adnan Oktar are baseless:
The court verdict against Mr. Adnan Oktar and some SRF members is still in the process of the Supreme Court of Appeals. Yet there exists an important point to stress here; the Court verdict is based on judicially invalid testimonies taken in the police station under duress in the absence of attorneys.
The legal errors occurring during the trial of the case were gathered under 70 articles which are submitted to the Supreme Court and European Human Rights Court. Indeed, the prosecutor of the Court related with the SRF case applied for appeal for the verdict of penalty due to the absence of evidence against the defendants and the mispleads of the Court. We have full respect for the verdict of the Court but for the case, which includes no elements of crime, our expectation is the reversal of the verdict by the Supreme Court.

The Baseless Nature of the Sexual Allegations Made against Adnan Oktar and His Friends
The sexual allegations made against Adnan Oktar and the BAV circle have always been an indication of the deep unease that atheist, Darwinist and materialist circles feel in the face of his scholarly activity. Whenever these people suffer an intellectual defeat they resort to allegations of a sexual nature, to which the public are most sensitive. And since it is Adnan Oktar who wages the most powerful intellectual struggle in the world against atheists and Darwinists, these circles have not hesitated to launch repulsive slanders against him.
In order for the claim in question about Adnan Oktar and the BAV circle to be accepted, there would first have to be a plaintiff, aggrieved party or witness. But there exists not a single witness, plaintiff or aggrieved party to confirm this false allegation. Eight years later, however, and as part of a psychological warfare campaign, a fictitious scenario about "little girls" was added to the accusations against the BAV. The fact is that no such claim existed in either the security department statements or the court file. Nor was there any plaintiff making such a claim. Indeed, NONE OF THE LADIES WHO MADE STATEMENTS AT THE SECURITY DEPARTMENT WAS YOUNGER THAN 18. The ladies in questions were forced to sign statements under threat, pressure and duress. These people all then declared, before the court, that they had not been damnified by Adnan Oktar and the members of the BAV in any way.
Moreover, claims regarding hidden cameras and secret records on the Wikipedia web pages have also been legally proved to have nothing to do with reality. In 1999, 45 homes were raided simultaneously at 03:00 in a move against the BAV. The homes were searched until the morning. But NOT A SINGLE SECRET RECORD or any other violation of the law WAS ENCOUNTERED. The imputation that appeared, illegally, in the press were part of a smear campaign against the BAV community. Some newspapers reported that "hidden cameras" had been seized in the early days of the police operation, but it subsequently transpired that these were lies. The objects described as hidden cameras were ordinary security cameras of the kind found in the gardens of many detached properties or at the doors of workplaces.
Electrical devices found in any home (dimmer switches, spotlight bulb holders, disk players and satellite antennae components) were confiscated from members' homes and displayed to the press as if they were espionage equipment. The fact is however, that the equipment recorded as a "disk wiping device" and displayed as a crime tool was in fact an ordinary "floppy drive" sold together with many laptops at the time. The commercial film tapes, magazines and CDs taken from BAV members' homes were used as psychological warfare propaganda tools and described to the public as blackmail equipment. But these were just documentary and music tapes and CDs of the kind found by the dozens in ordinary citizens' homes.
The court possessed not a single piece of evidence to support the claims in question. The reasoned opinion in favor of acquittal issued twice by the prosecutor was based on the fact that THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE PIECE OF EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THESE or any other accusation, and the prosecutor makes this clear in these opinions. The verdicts of acquittal and dismissal of proceedings given by the Courts and public prosecutors totally disprove this claim.
These claims, which are in the court file BUT ARE UNSUPPORTED BY A SINGLE PIECE OF CONCRETE EVIDENCE, are based on the testimonies signed under duress and torture by all BAV members tried and taken under custody as a result of the plots hatched by the alleged Ergenekon terror organization in 1999. (There are 18 Forensic Medicine reports to the effect that members of the BAV were tortured in detention. Security officials of the time are still on trial for torture, with prosecutors demanding sentences of 216 years for each.) According to the law, police testimonies signed under torture and in the absence of advocates are utterly invalid. However, the penalty imposed on the BAV case was based on these invalid testimonies taken by police.

Statements Regarding the Groundless Nature of the Claim That Some Families Were Threatened and Forced to Retract Their Complaints
The Wikipedia web site contains various untrue pieces of information based on reports taken from various Darwinist and left-wing publications. One of these is the claim that certain families that retracted their complaints stating that they had been forced, in the first place, to issue these complaints about the BAV community did so as a result of pressure and threats from that community.
The families in question were called to the Security Department when members of the BAV community were detained en masse by Adil Serdar Sacan, director of the Anti-Organized Crime Department of the time who is now on trial within the scope of the alleged Ergenekon terror organization case, and forced to sign the documents placed in front of them under the threat of "If you do not complain about Adnan Oktar you will never see your child again." Later on, the people in question renounced their complaints, stating in petitions presented to the Prosecutor's Office that the complaints were groundless. They later repeated this orally in court, in the PERSONAL PRESENCE OF THE JUDGE. In the same statements these people many times stated, both orally and in writing, that no pressure or threats was being employed against them. The renouncements in question have been put on record.
This is a very important point: In order for there to be a claim that the complaints were retracted under pressure, there also has to be a complaint on the subject or a damnification thereof. The fact is that THERE IS NOT A SINGLE PIECE OF EVIDENCE, A SINGLE INJURED PARTY OR A SINGLE PLAINTIFF regarding this claim. It is unclear on what basis such a claim appears on the Wikipedia web site.
Another point worthy of consideration regarding the claim that the complainants retracted their complaints under duress and pressure is that Mehmet Agar and Celal Adan were among those people who had first complained and subsequently retracted those complaints. It is very odd that such an imputation be made regarding these people. Mr. Mehmet Agar spent years fighting terror, mafia and criminal organizations, personally leading operations and taking part in shoot-outs. He served as Director General of Security and as Interior Minister of Turkey. Celal Adan spent years as a party administrator and member of Parliament. The idea that the BAV community pressurized and threatened such people is nothing more than suggesting that these people changed their statements out of a fear of a few young university graduates with spotless records. If anyone had any evidence of this, a complaint should have been made to the Prosecutor's Office and proceedings brought. In addition, in such an event, the people in question would also have pressed complaints. It is clear that such a state of affairs is unrealistic. Mr. Mehmet Agar and Mr. Celal Adan retracted their complaints in the presence of the judge. It is therefore a grave mistake for such a claim to appear on the Wikipedia web site as if it were true fact, and the issue needs to be resolved as a matter of urgency.
It also needs to be stated here that the only name put forward in connection with the claims of threats made by members of the BAV community is that of Fatih Altayli. But it has also been established through various court rulings that Fatih Altayli's claims regarding the BAV community are groundless, and all these claims have been expunged.
The Kartal 2nd Court of First Instance that heard the case in the light of Fatih Altayli's complaint concerning the BAV administrators established that the written threats addressed to Altayli had nothing to do with the BAV and issued an ACQUITTAL RULING, No. 1996/381 E. 1998/508 K dated 12.06.1998, regarding the foundation managers. The ruling has also been confirmed by the 4th Chamber of Supreme Court of Appeals.
Fatih Altayli also sued the BAV managers and members for libel at the Istanbul 6th Court of First Instance. That court received reports from a 3-member team of experts regarding the writings in question. The team of experts whose opinions were canvassed by the court determined, as a result of their inquiries, that these writings were completely unconnected to the BAV community. In the expert witness report, dated 28.01.2002 and given to the Istanbul 6th Court of First Instance by Prof. Dr. Kemal Yavuz, Prof. Dr. Mustafa Ozkan and Asst. Prof. Dr. Fatih Andi, Fatih Altayli's claims were explicitly described as groundless.
In addition to all this, contrary to what is maintained on the State Security Court (DGM) Considered Legal Opinion, Fatih Altayli told the Istanbul No. 1 DGM that members of the BAV community made no threats against him and there was no question of any material gain. In answer to questions on the subject from the president of the Istanbul No. 1 DGM, Fatih Altayli replied THERE WAS NO THREAT OR FINANCIAL INTEREST, AND I WAS SUBJECTED TO NO THREATS." Anyone interested in examining the relevant evidence should visit this address.
The claims in question have been definitively invalidated by judicial rulings. The groundless nature of the claim regarding threats being made by the BAV community has been established by judicial rulings, and all these claims are completely untrue.
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

The 19-Month Period of Imprisonment and Detention in a Mental Hospital Is the Result of the First Smear Campaign Intended to Halt Mr. Adnan Oktar's Activities
In the summer of 1986, Mr. Oktar was arrested, with no rightful legal ground whatsoever, for having stated, "I am a member of the Turkish People, and of the Nation of Abraham," in an interview carried by a newspaper. Again under the influence of the circles mentioned above, deceitful reports, groundless information and slanders about him began appearing in various publications of Darwinist origin.
Mr. Oktar was first arrested and imprisoned. He was confined in a one-man cell for nine months. He was then chained by the foot to a bed in the Forensic Medicine Department for 40 days. He was then transferred to the Bakirkoy Mental Hospital on the grounds of being mentally unhealthy and placed under observation in ward 14A, poorly maintained, filthy, and used to house the most dangerous inmates. Ward 14A, which housed 300 mental patients, was in a stone building left over from the reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid and could be entered only by passing through a number of locked iron doors, since killings among patients were viewed as nothing out of the ordinary. During Mr. Oktar's time there, seven murders were committed. In addition, he was forcibly given drugs blurring consciousness. Those who managed to visit him witnessed that he had lost none of his determination and enthusiasm at this time. Postgraduate students, nurses and even doctors were prohibited from seeing him, out of concerns that he would turn them to Islamic moral values. Shortly afterwards, his relatives and friends were also banned from visiting him, and even telephone calls were forbidden. He was threatened with spending the rest of his life in the hospital unless he abandoned his intellectual activities. Intense pressure began to be applied by certain circles in order for him to put an end to his activities against Darwinism and freemasonry and to abandon his books. Proposals to the effect that if he put an end to them he could immediately be released from hospital and spend the rest of his life in comfort. But he rejected all these offers, refusing to bow to the threats and pressure that only enhanced his determination.
After Mr. Oktar had been detained for 19 months, the Prosecutor's Office determined there was "no offence in the statements uttered." He was declared innocent and released.
The report issued by the Gulhane Military Medical Academy (GATA) confirming Mr. Oktar's SANITY, however, was never once mentioned by the press exclusively owned by Darwinists. After being depicted as mentally ill for 20 years, a Military Hospital report confirmed that he was completely sane.
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.
