Refugees Returning to Unknown

Adnan Oktar's piece in The Pioneer (India): http://www.dailypioneer.com/columnists/oped/returning-to-the-unknown.html As the majority of the world’s people maintain their disturbing indifference towards the suffering of millions of refugees, who were once normal people with normal lives just like them, the situation continues to worsen. The ongoing conflicts and abysmal poverty in the four corners of the world turn more people into refugees, migrants and asylum-seekers every day. For instance, it might have escaped the notice of many people in the world, but in September of this year, authorities in the Democratic Republic of Congo opened fire on protesting  Burundi refugees  and killed 39 of them, including a 10-year-old girl. Ironically, the Burundis were protesting because they didn't want to be sent back to their countries, where they might get killed. The world kept quiet. Then  Hungary , a country already notorious for its hostile stance against refugees,...

Women must enjoy the utmost freedom and comfort

Adnan Oktar's piece in BERNAMA (Malaysia) & The Malaysian Times'da (Malaysia): http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v8/fe/newsfeatures.php?id=1412510 http://www.themalaysiantimes.com.my/rightful-freedom-women-21st-century/ In the recent weeks the world of art, especially Hollywood, was shaken by one of the greatest scandals in its modern history. 80 women have come forward, one after the other, with claims about sexual harassment against the famous producer Harvey Weinstein who had 81 Oscar wins. Long-standing rumours took a far more complicated turn when stars such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie and Rose McGowan entered the picture. No doubt, the truth of these allegations will emerge only after the legal process but these allegations have turned the attention of the world once again to the repressed lives women have been forced to live. Many may think of these events as the natural result of the moral degeneracy of Hollywood, sometimes standing out with scanda...

Let's Save the Innocent

Image
Adnan Oktar's piece in Kashmir Reader (India):  http://kashmirreader.com/2017/11/16/saving-the-innocent/ Children are among the most beautiful blessings in this world. They are innocent, wholesome, pure, sweet beings that see and look at everything through positive eyes. To them, everyone is good, everything is a wonder to be discovered. It is impossible to imagine a world without them; a world without their beautiful faces, souls and happy laughter would be intolerable. They are so precious, as soon as they walk into a room, everyone should compliment them and show them how much they deserve respect and appreciation. Clearly, no sane person would want to imagine, let alone see, a child getting hurt. Similarly, there is no doubt that every good and conscientious person would do everything in their power to protect children and ensure their happiness. And in today’s world, there is much to do in this regard. According to a UNICEF report, three quarters of the world’s childr...

Does "Lone Wolf" Reflect the Truth?

Image
Adnan Oktar's piece in American Herald Tribune (USA) :  https://ahtribune.com/las-vegas-massacre/1962-lone-wolf.html "Lone wolf" is a term that entered into common use in the 2000’s. We heard this term again after the recent attack in Las Vegas, where 59 people lost their lives and more than 500 were injured. The bloodiest armed assault in modern US history was called, according to the initial official statements, a ‘lone wolf’ attack. Again, news and comments suggesting that the attacker acted alone were prominent in the media. This brings up a few questions to mind. How is it that a normal, ordinary person, a retired accountant can act with the calmness of a professional killer or a trained terrorist? How can he easily walk around in high- security environments with automatic weapons? On top of that, how can he do all this, apparently following a meticulous plan and without being noticed? It is hardly possible for single person to do all this without receiving an...

Every six hours a child dies in Syria

Adnan Oktar's piece in  Al Bilad & Only Kashmir :  http://onlykashmir.in/a-child-dies-every-six-hours-in-syria/ "In 2016, every six hours a child dies or is severely injured in Syria ... dramatic figures. But these are only the figures we have been able to verify. We do assume that indeed the number of child casualties is really much higher." Geert Cappelaere, Unicef regional director for the Middle East and North Africa. One of the rare things that everyone in the world will agree with is that no child should ever be harmed. It is a given that they should be happy, safe and well taken care of, because children are the ornaments of our world. They are the pure, innocent and unconditionally loving members of our civilizations.  Regrettably today, countless wars and conflicts make our world a very difficult place to live and children bear the brunt of it. For example, In Syria, 7.5 million children grew up knowing nothing other than war. For the past six ...

“There is strength in unity”

Adnan Oktar's piece in Al Bilad (Canada) "There is no strength without unity " “Unity is strength” “There is strength in unity” It is possible to encounter idioms in every culture similar to those above, which are part of everyday speech in Ireland, America and Turkey. Everyone knows that when people cooperate, things become easier; no matter the continent people live on or the culture they are a part of. Recently, this fact manifested itself in America in every aspect. Not only the US, but Cuba, Puerto Rico, St. Martin and many other island countries have struggled with hurricanes and floods. In the United States, shaken by deadly hurricanes, images of self-sacrifice have been more common than ever. The American people, who have been hit by hurricanes causing hundreds of millions of dollars in damage, tried to overcome these difficulties by uniting in cooperation regardless of their own needs. Our prayers are with the people who experienced this disaster. Af...

Kurdish referendum in Iraq: What will it bring?

Adnan Oktar's piece in  Arab Times & MENA FN :  http://menafn.com/1095932399/What-will-referendum-bring-for-Kurds?ARAB-TIMESKUWAIT-NEWS# http://www.arabtimesonline.com/news/will-referendum-bring-kurds/ In a land home to members of myriad different faiths and ethnicities, the answer to this question — when a rational, realistic and conscientious assessment is to be made — is actually quite obvious: Every separation brings with it new and greater problems. Iraq’s territorial integrity being compromised will also spell the suffering of the Kurds. What the Middle East needs is not drawing new borders between the peoples, but reinforcing friendships, love and brotherhood. This is why preserving the territorial integrity of Syria and Iraq is crucial. In a session attended by only 65 of its 111 members, the Northern Iraqi Parliament, which had been closed for almost two years, took the decision to hold an “independence referendum” on Sept 25, 2017. The people...
