THE RELIGION OF THE IGNORANT

                 Backbiting and Gossip
                 Surat al-Qalam, verses 10-13, describes the banal and vulgar be-
            havior displayed by members of Ignorantism:
                 But do not obey any vile swearer of oaths, any backbiter,
                 slandermonger, impeder of good, evil aggressor, gross,
                 coarse and furthermore, despicable. (Surat al-Qalam, 10-13)
                 The words backbiter and slandermonger indicate a form of behav-
            ior frequently encountered in the Religion of the Ignorant.
            Adherents of the satanic religion treat people well to their face, and
            then criticize them behind their backs. Nobody takes any interest in
            improving people's deficiencies or mistaken ideas. In fact, any need
            to enlighten others is seldom felt. Any kind of mistake becomes the
            butt of mockery or gossip.
                 Gossip, literally a source of entertainment in Ignorantism, oc-
            cupies an important place in social life. Although one would expect
            this poor character trait to be criticized and rejected, it is in fact en-
            couraged in society. The Qur'an's message on this subject is as fol-
            lows:
                 You who believe! Avoid most suspicion. Indeed some sus-
                 picion is a crime. And do not spy and do not backbite one
                 another. Would any of you like to eat his brother's dead
                 flesh? No, you would hate it. And fear Allah. Allah is Ever-
                 Returning, Most Merciful. (Surat al-Hujurat, 12)


            THE BEHAVIORAL DISORDER OF PEOPLE LIVING BY
              THE RELIGION OF THE IGNORANT: "VAIN TALK"
                    MR. ADNAN OKTAR'S LIVE INTERVIEW
                         ON KANAL 35 (FEBRUARY 1, 2009)
                 ADNAN OKTAR: Vain talk is such a torment. How difficult it
            is to listen to the vain talk of an artificial person. Such people are
