of significant numbers of civilians under the name of the "fight against terror."
If their masters say, "Let us kill," then they say, "Let us kill," too. If their masters
say, "Let us bomb people," then they say, "Let us bomb people," too or, "Let
us do even more than that." Yet someone who really wants to fight terror will
know that the intellectual foundation of terror needs to be demolished; he
will know that no solution will be forthcoming through guns and bombs with-
out intellectual activity as well. Even more importantly, he will know that vio-
lence always leads to more violence. Yet what matters for these people is
not the truth, but for the people these pseudointellectual sycophants serve to
tell them, "Well done!" Merely for the sake of a "Well done!" and gaining even
more approval they enthusiastically espouse the most ruthless policies that
are wholly incompatible with the Qur'an and are willing to stand in the ranks
of murderers.

Another striking example of the surrender of beliefs on the part of these
pseudointellectual sycophants is the way they never refer to Islamic Unity
and even, on the contrary, describe how – in their view – such a thing is well-
nigh impossible. Even though God commands Muslims to be united and
even though numerous verses of the Qur'an tell them to be brothers and live
in unity, these people insist on opposing unity. They reveal their opposition
through rather cunning tactics. For example, they do not openly stand up
and say, "Let us not be united" because they know that will of course attract
a great deal of criticism. They use fabricated hadiths instead. They use a
false hadith attributed to our Prophet (pbuh) but which was never spoken by
him, which reads, "Disagreement among my community is a mercy." They
thus seek to influence Muslims by saying "Look, even our Prophet (pbuh)
says there is no need to be united." Yet our Prophet (pbuh) would never say
anything that was incompatible with the Qur'an. He would never say there is
mercy in division when dozens of verses of the Qur'an command Muslims to
be united. Unity is a blessing for Muslims because that is God's command.
Yet for people with this pseudointellectual character, it is not God's com-
mand that matters, but the interests of the masters whose toadies they are.

Pseudointellectual Sycophants in Turkey
A close inspection will also reveal the presence of the pseudointellectual
sycophant character, which is so widespread in the Middle East and Asia,
also in Turkey. One of the most distinguishing characteristics of these people,
