OKTAR BABUNA: Good evening dear viewers. Tonight we have very esteemed guests from Israel. Sitting on the right end of the table we have Rabbi Yeshayahu Hollander. He is a member of Sanhedrin the Rabbinical Court and associate Justice on the Jerusalem Court for Issues of Bnei Noah. Our other guest sitting right beside him is Mr. Samuel Sokol, the representative of the Jerusalem Post, the most read [English] newspaper in Israel. And our other guest is Rabbi Ben Abrahamson. He is a historian and and he has been serving as the consultant at Jerusalem Rabbinical Court on matters about Islam since 2004. Furthermore, he is serving as the administrator of the History of Islam and Judaism Research Committee. Please you go on Master, insha'Allah.
ADNAN OKTAR: Welcome. You have been so kind, you have honored us, you brought us grace. Yes, please. I am listening to your questions. Insha'Allah [God willing], we will have a beautiful conversation.
SAMUEL SOKOL: Alright. Thanks for having me. The first place we would obviously have to start is asking about the recent attempts at bridging the divide between Turkey and Israel, between Ankara and Jerusalem. Prime Minister Netanyahu has expressed regret over the deaths on the Mavi Marmara. Where do you see the relations between the two countries going from here? What's next?
ADNAN OKTAR: Of course, it is very positive; I have discussed this issue previously as well. The Committee that previously visited also asked about how to handle this issue. I told them that an apology would be very effective. Indeed the apology had an impact of at least 90 percent upon the Turkish people. Apology is a form of courtesy, it is a kindness. It is a display of respect, and our nation has met this beautiful attitude kindly. There has been positive progress, a betterment between the Israeli - Turkish relations. We have seen it, and so has everyone else.
OKTAR BABUNA: Insha'Allah.
SAMUEL SOKOL: So, tell me a little bit about [things]; you've had been involved in efforts at dialogue between different cultures. And you recently had the representatives of the Muslim Brotherhood. Do you believe that there is a chance for dialogue with the Brotherhood or is there any way of bearing over the differences? They are pretty outspoken against Israel and against Jews.
ADNAN OKTAR: Yes, members of Muslim Brotherhood came here, and before that we were in touch with them. We talked; we said, "Let there be 'a sea of friendship', in which Israel will also be included. A community of friendship that will include Turkey, Israel, Egypt, Jordan and all Islamic countries, which we call the Turkish-Islamic Union." We expressed our desire for such a structure and they accepted it warmly. But of course there is an opposition against Jews in the public opinion. It is a kind of trend, that is an unpleasant trend. Among some circles, opposition to Jews is known as a sign of a faithful Muslim while the fact is, according to the Qur'an, it is an aberrant attitude, an erroneous view. I assume they are also a bit under the influence of that pressure. But I saw a serious sign in their hearts that they consider the uniting of Israel with Turkey and Egypt as good. And I also noticed it in their styles. But public opinion is not a structure that can be monitored readily. It is not easy to guide public opinion. What matters is that, in their hearts, the administrators harbor a warm perception of Islam which is full of love, but once the public opinion drags a person towards a particular notion, if he is not really a very strong, astute leader, he may be pulled along. One needs to be very resolute. If he remains resolute and displays a strong attitude, I think that the issue will be resolved.
RABBI YESHAYAHU HOLLANDER: I am waiting now to get an invitation to meet Muslim Brotherhood people here.
ADNAN OKTAR: I will settle this, I will settle it, because I've received the sign for that. There is no reason why it shouldn't happen. You are like holy light. You are the descendants of Prophet Abraham (pbuh) who have faith in Allah and love Allah. They are also the descendants of Prophet Abraham (pbuh) and of Prophet Ishmael (pbuh). We will get together, converse and talk. We will go up to Mount Sinai and dine there. We will go to Jordan and converse there. The entire region belongs to all of us. By Allah's leave, I always state this, we will abolish the walls of Israel and embrace you with love. No blood, no tears, no terror or anarchy will remain. We will also reconstruct Prophet Solomon's (pbuh) Temple, but it will be exactly the same, with all its grace and glory. There is already a little time left to the end of the world. I believe Almighty Allah has already sent King Moshiach, and by that beautiful guidance of his, this blessed period will begin. The Torah was saying that Moshiach would be coming for 4,000 years. Now we see that this is real. The
