Page 129 - Islam Denounces Terrorism

Adnan Oktar (Harun Yahya) 127

More than 1,000 foreign fighters are joining the fight in
Syria each month. Even airstrikes do not seem to change
this rate. The problem of radicalism can only be resolved
by the Islamic world completely renouncing sources
based on nonsense and turning to the Qur'an instead.

Radical groups manage to produce this effect to a large extent by
way of the internet. They employ social media with a mastery of per-
suasive propaganda. They reach out to five continents and gather sup-
porters. They win people over with perhaps only a few brief lines. In
other words, through education.

Horgan summarizes that effect in these words: "They have become
so adept at social media that they are reaching out to disaffected individuals
on a global scale."

What needs to be done is to set out using the same means and to
show people the false nature of that religion of superstition with evi-

dence from the Qur'an by making use of such a powerful communica-
tion tool as the internet. It is to prove, using Islam's own holy book,
that Islam rejects savagery and teaches love and peace. If the West can
do that, there is of course no need to remind anyone that it has greater
means at its disposal than the radical groups. Just imagine that all the
international media, which are generally under the control of the West,
were to provide such education with a loud voice! It would take mere
seconds for the world to hear the truth.
