Press Release
Do not Take the Jewish Entity as Allies, But Allah and the Muslims
(Translated)

On the evening of December 20, 2015, the AKP Government spokesmen Omer Celik's statement "Without doubt, the State of Israel and the Israeli people are Turkey's friends", is verifying the accuracy of the agreement announced by the terror regime "Israel" in recent days. As it can be remembered, immediately after the Mavi Marmara incident that took place on May 31, 2010; the delusion was created that relations between Turkey and the Jewish entity "Israel" were broken up by putting some relations on ice. However everyone rational person knew that truth was different!

According to a report in Daily Sabah on Monday, December 14, President Erdogan said that "normalization between Turkey and Israel is for the good of the entire region...", and thus he prepared the process. Four days later, an "Israeli" official announced the agreement with Turkey in an interview with the French AFP.

The friendship (!) declared as by AKP Government spokesman Omer Celik is not a friendship that Muslims of Turkey want or accept. Because Muslims are obliged to obey and submit to the laws of the Lord of the Worlds, whereby Allah (swt) says the following regarding the Jews:

(يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ لاَ تَتَّخِذُواْ الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى أَوْلِيَاء بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاء بَعْضٍ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِّنكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْهُمْ إِنَّ اللّهَ لاَ يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ)

“O you who have believed! Do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people.” [Al-Maida: 51]

Oh Muslims! The invasive Jewish entity is a despicable regime that occupied Al-Aqsa, one of our three sacred mosques upon this earth, whose impure presence left Al-Quds destitute, and whose oppression extended even to mountains and stones in addition to the Muslims. This terror regime is the murderer of our Muslim brothers who became martyred on the Mavi Marmara ship that set out to bring aid to Gaza. Therefore, stay away from those who say to be allies of this invasive Jewish entity that is the enemy of Allah, His Messenger, our sanctities and the Muslims! Show that you do not accept such a friendship! Emphasize that Allah Azza wa Jal and we as Muslims are not pleased with such a friendship!

Oh Government Officials! Befriending the Jewish entity is a betrayal of the Muslims. Befriending the Jewish entity is a betrayal of the Mavi Marmara martyrs. Befriending the Jewish entity is a betrayal of Al-Aqsa whose surroundings are sacred. Befriending the Jewish entity is ignoring the rules of Allah (swt). So do not take the Jewish entity as allies, but Allah and the Muslims!

Oh Muslims! The occupying Jews do the requirements of their nature and their outlook. Therefore, we do not condemn them only. In contrary, we also condemn those who make friends with "Israel" according to their political interests. We condemn those who sacrifice the pure blood of the Muslims for their commercial relations and to realpolitik. We condemn those who seek to normalize relations with those who are enemy to the Muslims and who occupy Al-Aqsa. We condemn those who despite their strong armies fail to respond to "Israel" and to bring it to line in the manner it deserves.

(لاَّ يَتَّخِذِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الْكَافِرِينَ أَوْلِيَاء مِن دُوْنِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَمَن يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ فَلَيْسَ مِنَ اللّهِ فِي شَيْءٍ)

“Let not believers take disbelievers as allies rather than believers. And whoever [of you] does that has nothing with Allah.” [Al'i Imran: 28]
