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”

Image
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?

Image
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...

Two diametrically opposite concepts: Radicalism and Islam

Image
Adnan Oktar's piece in  RiyadhVision :  http://www.riyadhvision.com.sa/2017/07/18/radicalism-and-islam-two-diametrically-opposite-concepts/ The concept of “Radical Islam,” which is widely used today especially in the Western world, emerged in the second half of the 20th century as a concept that entirely contradicts the essence of Islam and the Koran. The radical minded people misinterpret the holy Scriptures God sent to people for peace and brotherhood, and through their self-invented superstitions, work to legitimize violence against people from different beliefs and thereby completely violate their faith in the process. The process, which dates from before the 9/11 attacks to the present day and has recently been imprinted on people’s memories through terrorist acts carried out by ISIS and similar Salafi organizations, gave rise to concepts like “radical terror” and “Islamic terror.” Hardly a day goes by we don’t hear new terror attacks in either Afghanistan, Iraq o...

Why the World Turns a Blind Eye to Rohingya Muslims?

Image
Adnan Oktar's piece in American Herald Tribune: https://ahtribune.com/world/asia-pacific/rohingya-genocide/1920-rohingya-refugees.html  In the face of the historical disasters humanity has experienced, a majority of the world has developed some sort of reflex to 'close their eyes' and 'play ostrich.’ Many leaders, administrators and representatives around the world prefer to remain indifferent and unresponsive to these catastrophes.  When asked about what the EU should do regarding the situation in Myanmar, High Representative Federica Mogherini gave a marked answer: " I tend to avoid answering questions that are not related to the agenda we had ." The answer also revealed an important truth: Today the world agenda is shaped only by the interests and problems of the powerful. Those who are oppressed are often left alone with their own problems if they are not rich, have no oil or natural resources, or do not have any relevance to serving the intere...

When Will the Syrian War End?

Image
Adnan Oktar's piece about Syrian war in Tehran Times; September 15th marked an important accord between Turkey, Iran and Russia in the 6th round of the Astana talks that first started on January 6th of this year.  The nexus agreed to add a fourth region to the establishment of de-escalation zones, which they decided in the May meeting of Astana for a period of six months. The target in Astana was to give security for civilians by creating these de-escalation zones, which Turkey had been demanding for a long time. However, the de-escalation zone is not the same as the previous safe zone proposals but rather a “new concept” according to President Erdogan. This decision proved to serve the purpose since hostilities diminished sharply in the first three agreed zones with the help of some of the associated states. The three guarantors decided to send 500 observers each to support the ceasefire and monitor the violations. The Foreign Minister made a written statement concerning ...
