Adnan Oktar: (Reading) 'They approached Rabbi Yehudah Glick, who came here to visit me, near the exit of a conference to be sure of his identity and shot him three times. They asked who he was and then they shot him. The shooter fled on a motorbike. Rabbi Glick is in a serious condition. The Muslims there hate him because he says the Jews should also be able to pray at the Temple Mount. There are claims made against the rabbi, provocative conspiracy theories about bombing the al-Aqsa Mosque.'
Yet I met him here and he was a very innocent person, very polite and well-mannered. According to the Torah they should be able to pray on that hill, where the al-Aqsa Mosque stands. Let them pray, where is the harm? That is good. What more do you want? They have made praying to God into a crime. This shows just how essential it is for Mashiach, the Mahdi, to appear. When he came here, we read the portents of the coming of Mashiach, the Mahdi, together, and we spoke of the building of the Temple of Solomon. He was an immaculate person.
[To the perpetrator] You must fear Allah! We spoke of brotherhood and said we are all the children of Abraham. We said that in the End Times that the Mount would be a place of prayer for all nations. I spoke with him. That blessed person was delighted. He spoke of the Torah. He said let us perform a sacrifice with Muslims there. We spoke of excellent things. But I fail to understand how the shooter could just have come up to him. What is going on? That is the system that has emerged. Is there no security? Were there no plainclothes police? It used to be full of police. There would be plainclothes police dressed as orange vendors or dustmen. That is how it should be there, too, so they can move in at a moment’s notice. The man shoots him and escapes on a bike. May God have mercy on our brother [Rabbi]. He was an immaculate and devout person. He used to say there is no other god than Allah. He had a great love of Islam.
....
May God break the hands that killed that Jew. He was a lovely man with a red beard. He came here. He was so well-mannered. This is immorality and wickedness. What did he ever do to you? He minded his own business. He read the Torah and worshiped Allah. He showed his faith in the religion that came down from the Prophet Moses. Then you, you traitor, you shot him in the head. You will suffer in hell for all eternity. You have not really harmed him, but you have prepared an evil fate for yourself. You have killed an innocent man. You did that as a murderer.
....
(Reading a note) 'That rabbi is not dead, but his situation is critical. The killers are celebrating.'
That is terrible immorality and cowardice. In addition, he had no gun. He is an innocent person acting through his faith. Yet you cowardly shot an unarmed and guiltless man. You have behaved immorally, so why are you celebrating? He came here as my guest and we spoke together. He is a polite man who just minds his own business. What is there to celebrate? You are celebrating murder and evil and cowardice. Cowardice is something else, it means attacking a defenseless person. He did not come at you with a gun. He is just loyal to the Prophet Moses according to his own faith. What should he do? Should he betray the Prophet Moses? Is that what you want? A loyalty going back 3,000 years.

(From live conversation on A9 TV, October 30th, 2014)
Adnan Oktar: (Reading) 'Islamic Jihad and Hamas have issued statements celebrating the shooting of the rabbi; a Hamas spokesman described the attack as heroic. Fatah has issued a poster “Fatah is proud to salute our heroic martyr who carried out the attack on the despicable Glick.”'
Yet that is something to be ashamed of. Do you not read the Qur’an? It says that synagogues, mosques and churches are under God’s protection. This man is a rabbi. A man of God, in other words: A devout man. What is his job? He calls in people to believe in God. He is not a soldier or an aggressor, and he was unarmed. He is an innocent muslim (submitter) in the light of his own faith.
(Reading) 'Rabbi Glick said in a previous statement, “I go to the Temple of the Mount every day. They constantly throw stones and threaten me, but I am used to it.” There is a video of him reading Surat al-Ikhlas with Muslims.'
He says he believes in that Sura. What does that mean? I am reading Surat al-Ikhlas as a believer, and it is the truth, he is saying. What more can he say? If someone says that he believes in a Sura from the Qur’an in the sight of God what does that mean? He says there is One God. In Arabic.
(Reading) 'Some Palestinian jihadist sites posted photographs of the rabbi and announced the conference that Glick will attend in order to target him.'
As if to say, he will attend this conference, so do what is required.
(Reading) 'The rabbi is still in a critical co
