Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated December 15th, 2016
ADNAN OKTAR: "Mr. Oktar, which religion is this?" This is the true Islam. Since people have come to know the religion of idolatry as Islam, they are surprised, astonished when they see the real Islam, which preaches happiness, joy, beauty and aesthetic. Since they believe the hellish idolatry religion to be the true religion, it surprises and astounds them when they see the heavenly religion Islam, the true religion. They devise a hellish religion and present it to people as Islam, whereas Islam is the religion of heaven. In their minds, they have turned Islam into a religion of hell; this is why it surprises, astounds them and makes them say 'what kind of religion is this?' They say to themselves, "These people are laughing and having fun; there is joy, beauty, high-quality, art, paintings, sculptures, music; how can this be? In the religion I know, life is dull and stagnant; everything is dismal." They say, "It is full of suffering, misery, anguish and despair." They say, "Religion cannot be like this, there is something extraordinary about this." Do not be surprised, this is the true religion; this is how Islam actually is.
