Page 207 - What Kind of Yemen ?

Adnan Oktar
(Harun Yahya)

Islam restricts freedom and liberties, controls thoughts and even

encourages bloodshed. However, Islam is a peaceful religion that gives
people the freedom of thought and expression and protects the rights
of people. Almighty God explains this in a verse:
There is no compulsion where the religion is concerned. Right
guidance has become clearly distinct from error. Anyone who

rejects false gods and has faith in God has grasped the Firmest
Handhold, which will never give way. God is All-Hearing, All-
Knowing. (Surat al-Baqara, 256)
There are also other verses in the Qur'an that prove that there can
be no compulsion in religion: 88/21-22, 109/1-6 and 18/29 are amongst
them.
Be they Zaidi or Sunni, all Muslims in Yemen aim to adopt the

beautiful morality God commands and to live and spread the religion
the way God teaches us. And no doubt, when people live by the moral-
ity God commands, the long-awaited peaceful atmosphere of democra-
cy can be achieved in Yemen. When all Muslims, including those in
Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Turkey unite, their strength will be a
deterrent force to those warmongers willing to start anarchy and con-
flict at every opportunity.

A very important final thought should be kept in mind: It is not
military operations that will bring stability to Yemen, it is more democ-
racy and the belief that Muslims are brothers and sisters.
