We see, in terms of the community, that a certain individual, out of revenge or a hostile opposition, with a thought that desires to commit an act, has said, "Islam will be divided or the caliphate will be destroyed." Just to prove that evil word right, to satisfy his pride and arrogance, he wishes for the destruction of Islam, and the drowning of the unity of the Muslim community. He wants to present the tyranny and oppression of the enemy as justice, through imagined and absurd justifications. In terms of the current civilization, we see that this evil civilization has given such a cruel system of oppression to mankind that it reduces all the virtues of civilization to zero. It reveals the secret of the concerns of the noble angels in the verse "And I will place therein, from My servants, those who do mischief and shed blood."
Indeed, if a criminal is found in a village, this civilization supports the annihilation of the village along with its innocent people, or if a rebel is found in a community, it supports the destruction of the community along with its women and children. Or if someone, who does not even violate the laws of oppression, mocks a sacred building worth billions, like the Hagia Sophia, this civilization supports the destruction of that building. It supports the most horrifying atrocities.
How is it possible that a man, who is not responsible for the sins of his brother in the eyes of justice, can make thousands of innocent people in a village or community responsible for the rebellion of a wicked person, who has never been found in a city or neighborhood that is not naturally inclined to rebellion, even though there is no connection between them? The innocent people are made responsible, perhaps even destroyed.

We see, in terms of the community, that a certain individual, out of revenge or a hostile opposition, with a thought that desires to claim, "Islam will be divided or the caliphate will be destroyed," wishes for the collapse of Islam, just to prove that his suspicious words are right, to satisfy his pride and arrogance. He wants to present the tyranny and oppression of the enemy as justice, through imaginary and absurd justifications. In terms of modern civilization, we see that this suspicious civilization has given such a cruel system of oppression to humanity that it reduces all the virtues of civilization to zero. It reveals the secret of the concerns of the noble angels in the verse "And I will place therein, from My servants, those who cause corruption and shed blood."
Indeed, if a criminal is found in a village, this civilization supports the annihilation of the village along with its innocent people, or if a rebel is found in a community, it supports the destruction of the community along with its women and children. Or if someone, who does not even follow the laws of oppression, shows disdain for a sacred building worth billions, such as the Hagia Sophia, this civilization supports the destruction of that building as the most horrific atrocity.
How is it possible that a man, who is not responsible for the sins of his brother in the eyes of justice, can make thousands of innocent people in a village or community responsible, or even have them annihilated, just because of the rebellion of a wicked agitator in a city or neighborhood, with whom these innocent people have no connection at all?

(We are presenting the footnote of a fact related to our social life, previously written with the intention of sending it to Adnan Menderes.)
Footnote: I think the only solution not to blame the pious Democrats for the Ticanî issue, which may have arisen as a result of, or even been provoked by, the unnecessary whimsical laws and unjust practices of the old regime, and not to lower the Democrats in the eyes of the Islamic world is as follows:
Just as the Democrats gained strength through the announcement of the Adhan (call to prayer); they should also declare the Ayasofya as a holy site again, reverting it to its sacred status that lasted for five hundred years, and officially declare the Risale-i Nur (Epistle of Light), which has had a very positive effect on Islam and has earned the goodwill of the Islamic world for this homeland's people, and which for twenty-eight years could not be found guilty by the courts and was declared innocent by five courts, to be free. They should apply a kind of balm to this wound. At that time, they would gain the goodwill of the Islamic world, and I believe that others' unjustly attributed faults would not be placed upon them. For the sake of the memories of pious individuals, especially those like Adnan Menderes, I looked for a couple of hours at the politics I have abandoned for thirty-five years and wrote this.
