ADNAN OKTAR: You do us an honor.
ADNAN OKTAR: First please introduce him.
OKTAR BABUNA: Yes. Our guest is Daniel Eisenbud from the Jerusalem Post, Israel’s leadingEnglish-language daily. He concentrates on diplomatic affairs for the paper, as a reporter and columnist. His columns are translated into various languages and read widely across the world. He is also an editor who has won awards from major publishing organs.
ADNAN OKTAR: How is our guest? Are you in good health? Are you pleased to be in Turkey?
DANIEL EISENBUD: Yes, thank you, I’m well and I’m very happy to be here. It’s an honor to be joining you tonight.
ADNAN OKTAR: Yes, it is an honor for us to have you here with us.
DANIEL EISENBUD: Thank you. Thank you so much.
ADNAN OKTAR: Please go ahead. I am listening to you.
DANIEL EISENBUD: As you know, the latest instances of Arab terrorism in Israel include the assassination attempt on Rabbi Yehuda Glick in October, who appeared on your program as well, and the HarNof massacre in Jerusalem last month, during which two Palestinian men butchered four congregants at a synagogue with axes and knives, while praying, while they were wrapped in tefilin. They were basically slaughtered in the synagogue itself. During those attacks they praised Allah. What would you say to them about evoking Allah while murdering innocent men?
ADNAN OKTAR: Murder in the name of Allah is unacceptable. It is a heavy crime that will be punished with eternal hell under Islamic law.
It is not something any rational Muslim could ever do. Only a psychopath, with the soul of a monster, a psychopath or killer, could do that.
For example, I knew that rabbi who came here. He was a fine, loveable man who loved all religions. He was highly respectful toward Islam. He was pure, decent and rational. His murder was a terrible wrongdoing, a violation of good conscience. Such an evil deed toward an unarmed, well-intentioned person is totally unbecoming of Islam.
Let us watch the film clip about him. The film shows what a humane and loving person he was, and the extreme respect he had toward Islam and the Qur’an.

DANIEL EISENBUD: The next question I want to ask you was, as you know, many Muslim terrorists cite the Qur'an as justification for killing Jews. Are there truly any passages within the Qur'an that incite murder against Jews,you know of, or is this a lie that is basically been propagated?
ADNAN OKTAR: They are lying in the name of Allah. I know the Qur’an very well. I have been studying it for years. My colleagues also study it. We study it word for word and letter by letter.No such thing happened in the time of our Prophet (pbuh), nor in the time of the Companions.This system and policy of wrongdoing and cruelty was fabricated subsequently.
DANIEL EISENBUD: What are Muslim children taught?What are radical Muslim children taught about Jews and Jewish history today that creates this mentality, this willingness to dehumanize the Jewish people in general?
ADNAN OKTAR: They have drawn up fabricated hadiths foreign to the Qur’an. Wide-ranging ones. We can see that in Bukhari and in Muslim [hadith collections]. We can also see it in some other religious sources. One of the worst examples is the hadith that says that rocks and trees will tell people there is a Jew hiding behind themand to come and kill him. That is so grave, and in this way such lies and fabricated hadiths are given to the hands of psychopaths as a useful tool. It encourages murder because someone may say that he heard the voices [of trees]. He may say that the rocks or trees told him. That lie and that hadith lays the foundation for a project of utter insanity against women, children and everyone.
DANIEL EISENBUD: These hadiths which you speak of which are basically falsifications of the Qur'an or addendums to the Qur'an that have no merit, they are based on, I think, nothing but hearsay attributed to the Prophet? How they can be eliminated? My understanding there is two million of them? Or more?
ADNAN OKTAR: There are a lot of fabricated hadiths. But Allah says the Qur’an is sufficient. These people say that our Prophet (pbuh) spoke these words that fly in the face of the Qur’an and are diametrically opposed to it. And they have created a system of terrible wrongdoing.
DANIEL EISENBUD: [How they can be eliminated?]
ADNAN OKTAR: That is something Moshiachwill do. It is something the Mahdi (pbuh), Moshiach, will do.
DANIEL EISENBUD: I see. Messiah. So I guess in terms of when the Messiah comes, in the mean time, what steps can be taken on an institutional level to permanently alter the misconception that the Qur'an justifies mass murder, or murder of any kind?
ADNAN OKTAR: I wrote a book called the&
