Page 271 - Christians Must Heed Jesus

Adnan Oktar
Harun Yahya

We must always remember this; the antichrist has always used
the name of God in his dealings with believers. He never shows his

true face, and always uses religion and people who appear to be de-
vout in order to lead believers astray from the true path. That is how
the antichrist has managed to influence many devout people and eas-
ily been able to spread all kinds of superstitious and perverse ideas
that can support and strengthen his own devilish systems.
The perverse claims that some people are seeking to attribute to
Islam – including the idea that Muslims want to slaughter Chris-
tians and Jews, that they deny the right to life of non-Muslims and
that they are devoid of love and affection - are complete fabrications.
People who are unaware of the true essence of Islam, a religion of
peace and love, and of the brotherhood, justice, peace, compassion and
love in the verses of the Koran, may fail to see the perverse aspects of
these false claims. In order to see that this image that the forces of the
antichrist are trying to ascribe to Islam is wrong and perverse, there
needs to be people who judge by the Koran, know the spirit of the
Koran and conceive of - and live by - the Koran in the same way as
our Prophet (pbuh) did. If someone is a "fundamentalist," in other
words, if he interprets Islam in the light of perverse superstitions, if he

makes up rules and regulations that contravene all logic and reason –
as well as conflicting with the Koran – if he portrays Islam, a religion
of ease, as difficult, inaccessible, aggressive and loveless (Islam is sure-
ly beyond all that), then he can never understand the reality, unless
God decides otherwise, of course. The important point is that funda-
mentalism is a major threat, not just to Islam, but also to Christianity
and Judaism. Therefore, in order to be able to see the origins of the per-
verse ideas that are being ascribed to Islam, people need to realize how
far removed fundamentalism is from the Koran and from all the true
faiths in general.
