Page 371 - A Call For Unity
P. 371
Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)
Let us visualize the situation of the world's nations: The
global activities of atheist and materialist ideologies, social
degeneration, decadence, poverty, famine, increasing evil,
disintegrating families, spiritually starved people, crime,
murder, fights, conflicts, wars, and troubles… No doubt,
these and other evil acts are dragging the world at alarming
speed toward spiritual as well as physical destruction.
Atheistic materialism and other destructive ideologies are
threatening people's lives here and in the Hereafter. All of
this shows that the billions of people are, in reality, no differ-
ent from the victims of natural disasters awaiting rescue.
It is the duty of all faithful, sincere, conscientious, and ra-
tional Christians, Jews, and Muslims to cooperate against
evil, join forces in the ideological battlefield, and work to-
gether in unity and harmony. This unity must be based on the
principles of love, respect, affection, compassion, under-
standing, harmony, and cooperation. The urgency of the situ-
ation must be remembered, and disputes, arguments, and all
other human-made (and therefore artificial) barriers between
people must be abandoned.
When we look at the Torah, the Gospel, and the Qur'an,
we see that they all recommend using friendly words and
conducting oneself properly and with dignity. The Christians'
attitude toward others is described, as follows, in the Gospel:
… always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else. (1
Thessalonians 5: 15)
… to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show
true humility toward all men. (Titus, 3: 2)
