Page 19 - Bigotry: The Dark Danger

Adnan Oktar
(Harun Yahya)

It reveals, with examples from the Qur'an, the invalidity of the
claims made in various sources of the false, fanatical religion which
they are trying to make part of Islam. The particular reason for pro-
ducing a work responding to these claims is that all the criticisms
made of Islam take similar directions and that people confuse the reli-
gion of radicalism with the true Islam. The objective, therefore, is to

provide those people who are wrongly acquainted with the true
Islam due to the groundless accusations made against it, with evi-
dence from the Qur'an rebutting those claims.

The fanatics' problem is that they learn their faith from specious
superstition. However, those who criticize those fanatics are some-
times just as radical and believe in the accuracy of that same super-
stition. The more we produce evidence from the Qur'an, the more

they try to produce their own from the superstition subscribed to by
the fanatics. That is where they make their gravest mistake. If they
want to know the true Islam and find a solution to fanaticism, they
must heed the true faith described here. Unless they do that, radical-

ism will continue to plague the world.
Therefore, one of the goals of this book is to inform not only the
Western world but also a major part of the Islamic world that do not

know how to save itself from the darkness of bigotry. This book also
calls to the bright world of the true Islam as described in the Qur'an
those people who have remained somewhat under the influence of
bigotry, and thus live surrounded by a wrong conception of Islam,

laden with superstitions, those who are estranged to the Qur'an,
those who shun seeking the truth, fearing that abandoning supersti-
tions amounts to violating Islamic rules. By the grace of God, this
cultural effort will be instrumental in defusing the darkness of big-
otry by means of the holy light of the Qur'an, and freedom, love,
democracy, joy and quality will spread all around the world.
