nable person could accept that.
Nor do I accept it. Of course they must live
in peace and happiness, and have their security
guaranteed. They will live in plenty and abundance
in the Turkish-Islamic Union. The commandment of the
Qur'an is crystal clear, as are the Sunnah and practices
of our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace).
The people of the Book were perfectly at ease in the time
of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace).
The people of Israel were perfectly at ease. They were li-
ving in Jerusalem then, in the region that is Israel. They
were happy and wealthy. Our Prophet (may Allah bless
him and grant him peace) treated them with love and af-
fection. One can marry Jewish girls, eat meat they have
prepared, sit down at their tables, visit their homes and be
friends with them, and that was what happened in the
time of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him
peace) and is his Sunnah. The same applies to Christians.
As you know, one of the Prophet's (may Allah bless him
and grant him peace) wives was a Christian. She is our
mother, whom we recall with love and respect. I am not
only talking about Judaism here. The same goes for
Christians. They are also people with the right to live
in happiness and peace, with the right to comfor-
table lives, with the right to live in wealth
and abundance, and we must see
they enjoy and rejoice in it.
