Adnan Oktar
(Harun Yahya)
Those who are unbelievers are the friends and protectors of one
another. If you do not act in this way there will be turmoil in the
land and great corruption. Those who believe and have emigrat-
ed and struggled in the Way of God and those who have given
refuge and help, they are the true believers. They will have for-
giveness and generous provision." (Surat al-Anfal, 73-74)
If a bond can be established between Houthis and Sunnis in
Yemen, as the moral values of the Qur'an require, 'impartiality' will
become the most basic principle within the state. State impartiality in
the face of individuals, despite all their differences, will make every
Yemeni truly 'equal before the law' and will enable them to access pub-
lic services on an equitable basis.
The objectives of the restructuring to be performed for the sake of
new stability and order in the Yemeni state may include:
1) The concept of citizenship must be redefined over and above
political, sectarian or tribal identities, and it must be ensured that all
Yemenis sign up to this.
2) Social integrity in Yemen must be maintained and strengthened.
It must therefore be emphasized that Islam opposes division and is a
unifying factor.
3) Balance between citizens must be observed in the provision of
public services. State sanctions or incentives on the basis of sect or tribe
must be avoided.
4) Citizens' awareness on the subjects of public services and public
authority must be restructured. Yemenis who enjoy greater public
services will support the state more and avoid anything that might
harm that state.
These four priorities will represent the basis of the establishment
of public confidence. A state that instills trust in its own citizens will
be able to maintain order in the streets and to provide uninterrupted
public services.
