In summary: More interesting discussion with my friend Adnan Oktar regarding a rebuilt Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. An ecumenical place where Christians, Muslims and Jews can all go to pray together to Allah. This time, the meeting was with Rabbi Yehuda Glick of the Temple Institute.
Rabbi Yehuda Glick (Temple Institute)
How common is this notion, I wonder?
ISTANBUL HAS BEEN SPECIALLY CREATED FOR HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) (From Mr. Adnan Oktar’s live interview on Kocaeli TV and Tempo TV, October 23rd, 2009)
In July of this year (2009), I travelled to Istanbul to meet with Muslim leader Adnan Oktar. You may watch a video of one of our meetings or read the full transcript here. Shortly after our meeting, Mr. Oktar also met with three representatives from the Reformed Israeli Sanhedrin. See my post regarding this meeting here. As well as the following two commentaries regarding these meetings here:
Muslim leader wants Temple rebuilt
Should Christians, Muslims and Jews unite?
Now, three of the Sanhedrin Rabbis have returned to Turkey to meet once again with Mr. Oktar.
The offical statement regarding this meeting was released by the Sanhedrin on their web-site and may be read here. A video of the meeting may be viewed here, but I recommend reading the full transcript below:
I recently recorded a five part interview with Sid Roth that will air all this week. You can catch it on your local Christian radio station or you can download each episode here. I also did a TV program with Sid that will follow in another week or so.
Rabbi Menachem Froman, also Menahem or Fruman (Hebrew: מנחם פרומן born 1945 in the Galilee), is an Ashkenazi Orthodox rabbi and a peacemaker and negotiator with close ties to Palestinian religious leaders from the PLO and Hamas. A founding member of the settler movement Gush Emunim, he serves today as the chief rabbi of Tekoa in the West Bank. On November 10, 2009 Rabbi Fromen met with Mr. Adnan Oktar in Istanbul.

PRESENTER: Today we have very important guests. A very well known rabbi and his dear wife. Mrs. Hadassa and Mr. Froman are with us. First of all, wellcome. Wellcome to the studio.
What Mr. Friedman elaborates on here, I predicted over five years ago in the first version of Islamic Antichrist:
While presently, there is not any pressing reason to see Turkey as the leader of an imminent world Empire, this is nevertheless, what Ezekiel prophesied… The Turkish Empire was the seat of the Islamic Caliphate. It was not until 1923 that the Islamic Caliphate was officially abolished. Today the Islamic world is awaiting the restoration of that Caliphate. The Bible teaches that someday soon the Turkish Empire will be revived.
As I said in a recent interview, it is no longer little Joel Richardson making these claims, but now George Friedman as well. Friedman is the founder and CEO of STRATFOR, the world’s leading private intelligence and forecasting organization. I do not highlight this to toot my own horn, but to simply highlight that Ezekiel’s prophecies are coming to pass. Turkey is re-emerging as a regional superpower. The wounded Beast Empire is reviving. This is that which Daniel and John the Apostle spoke so clearly of. Jesus is coming soon.
Recorded last evening. I ramble on and lose my train of thought, but over all it was a fun interview. Click here to listen.
(Updated November 6, 9:45 Central) In the image above, we see Major Hasan the morning of the shooting dressed in traditional Islamic attire. During an interview on Fox News, Hasan’s cousin stated that Hasan had grown up in the US and was a regular ol’ “good American”. The media has been taking great pains to wash the story of its obvious meaning and instead cast Hasan as a victimized soldier who was picked on because of his name, who opposed all war and violence, who simply snapped because of the unfairness of the US military. Thus I was greeted by the following headlines:
MSNBC “Shooting suspect feared deployment” and “Shooting Suspect ‘Mortified’ About Deployment”
NYT: “Relatives say Army psychiatrist had been harassed for being Muslim.”
ABC: “Suspected Fort Hood Shooter, Was Called ‘Camel Jockey’”
(I want to interject an Islamic proverb here. Remember it, as it is an incredibly common tactic of radical Muslim apologists: “He hits me and then he goes ahead of me and cries.” )
Despite the obvious, many in the left-wing mainstream media are determined to avoid the obvious connection between his Islamic faith and his actions. Instead they are painting him as the victim! This despite the following:
Hasan’s recent Internet posting about Suicide Bombers: “To say that this soldier committed suicide is inappropriate, it’s more appropriate to say he is a brave hero that sacrificed his life for a more noble cause.”
He shouted, “Allahu Ahkbar!” as he was murdering his unarmed victims.
His attire.
Could it be any clearer? Americans do not dress as Mr. Hasan did in the picture above, unless they no longer identify with their American heritage. He may very well have been a “good American” at one time in his life. But he obviously had defected from the US military sometime ago and signed up for the Army of Islam. He was a radical Muslim who followed the tenets of his Quran. Obedience to the Quran and conformity to the example of Muhammad was the motive. Period. There is no need for President Obama to sit down and have a beer with Hasan to figure out what caused him to snap and what American can do to make it right.
Was Hasan called names by his fellow soldiers? I have no question about it. But may I state the obvious? This is what soldiers do. They call each other names. Superiors do it to those under them. Friends do it to each other. Many of them use every expletive in every politically incorrect manner imaginable while doing so. But despite the name calling, they are each one willing to lay down their lives for each other. That’s what real soldiers do. My words to Mr. Hasan: Can I get you a baby bottle, you pathetic cowardly little fairy? They also have to run and do push ups by the way. Perhaps that is what drove him over the edge. Give me a break!
The bottom line is this: Given the opportunity to spend a tour of duty in Iraq or Afghanistan helping fellow Muslims against radical Muslims in the Taliban or Al-Qaeda, Hasan was unable to do so. He identified with the radical Muslims that the US is fighting against. Instead of fulfilling his sworn duties as an American soldier, he fulfilled his duties as a good soldier of Islam. He was a good Muslim according to the tenants of Islam.
And now the questions that the US media will never dare to ask: Will it happen again? How many more times? How many Muslims serve in the US military that are capable of repeating this act? How do we know which Muslims are sympathetic to Hassan’s actions? What steps must be taken to keep our soldiers safe from any further similar occurrences? Do we have the honesty and courage to do what is necessary to keep our soldiers safe? Or will we allow more of our best to be slaughtered on the altar of political correctness?
I’m literally sick to the core of my soul with grief. Maranatha. Come Lord Jesus…
Again, I wish to emphasize that Mr. Oktar is the most widely read author in the entire Islamic world with over 65,000,000 of his books in circulation in numerous languages. (Excerpts from Mr. Adnan Oktar’s interview on Mavi Karadeniz TV, Kocaeli TV and EkinTürk TV, October 27th, 2009)
PRESENTER: If you permit, I would like to start with questions. This is from Salih Kor in Ankara: “My dear teacher Adnan; I can see that leading world figures are implementing your highly important statements that you make during your interviews and they give speeches in relation to these points. Consequently, these are seen in headlines right away. For instance on the headline of the other day’s Hürriyet daily, the declaration of Ali Akbar Salehi, the Head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization was published, saying that nuclear bomb is haram (forbidden in religion). You had explained this topic months ago, it is very nice that Muslims are taking steps in parallel to your most valuable words. I have great respect for you my dear teacher.” We had shown the headline in the Hürriyet daily in our interview on Friday, and what you had said months ago is seen here once again.
