Page 185 - Islam Denounces Terrorism

Adnan Oktar (Harun Yahya) 183

Causing members of different faiths and/or ethnicities
to fall out and inciting conflict among them has been a
technique successfully employed by those wishing to
spread war throughout the course of history. Yet this
world is wide and fertile enough for everyone to live in

happiness and peace and well-being. There is no real
reason for conflict or resorting to violence. All the sup-
posed reasons for war and conflict are hollow ruses.

It is much, much easier to live in peace and love than in
conflict and war. For example, it is unacceptable for
either Palestinians or Israelis to have to live behind walls
in fear of bombs, rockets and other weapons. This plight
of these two peoples, one descended from the Prophet
Ishmael and the other from the Prophet Jacob (peace

be upon them both), is a disgrace on all mankind.

Our hope is that people with radical views will ultimate-
ly fade away within the moderate, loving and respect-
ful views held by rational people – historically, radical
movements inevitably burn out or destroy themselves –
but for that to happen it is absolutely essential for sensi-
ble people in the Islamic, Christian and Judaic worlds to
act as one in a spirit of solidarity. An alliance of good
people is essential. This alliance must be brought about,

not solely between Muslims, but also with the People of
the Book. Otherwise, neither terror nor acts of violence
can ever be entirely overcome.
