While I was a student in an institution affiliated with our community, there was a Halil Yurtsever who served as an institution manager there.

Halil Yurtsever was a person whom none of the other people to our cooks, who served for the sake of Allah, for the happiness of our nation’s children in this world and the hereafter, did not like and could not get along with, from the very beginning. I would have seen the benefit of these attitudes, but I would often get harm. Because he would also have decisions, behaviors and injustices that would make me question his sincerity.

Even when I questioned the background of his decisions and behavior in my early teenage years, I was used to worry myself. I did not see a believer attitude. I could never see fear of Allah, concern for reckoning, an effort to follow the shari’a, or a state of embarrassment from people. He always had behaviors that oppressed and hurt people and focused only on his own interests. The style of administration was also very rude, unspiritual, hurtful and destructive. He was exiled to another place a year or two after the time I mentioned.

He had invited me to join him while he and the duty masters(hodjas) were in the gazebo in the garden of the establishment. It was not even possible to understand why he made me summon, his purpose, what he wanted to achieve. I went, got no benefit, got no benefit, and saw disgraces that I will never forget for the rest of my life. While the teachers next to him were looking at him with disgust, he took off one of his shoes and put it on the wooden table to paint, while holding his mobile phone with one hand, he continued to talk to us from time to time. Although he was a person who performed ablutions, prayed and participated in talk shows every day, he had no light in his face. There was no sincerity, sincerity or decency in his demeanor. It is one of the places in my life where I have experienced the state of being “shame for someone else” most strongly, there were those moments. Similar to this, many times people say, “What kind of inner world does this man have. What acceptances and goals does he have? How did he end up evolving. How did he stay on this path that was built on the basis of science(wisdom) and morality, became a hodja and later became the manager of an institution”. I’ve seen a lot. That year, a new establishment was being built in that county. Sometimes we would go there at the weekends and even help with technical work for the sake of Allah. He had a kitchen system built there that the whole group kept saying, “Is there such a system in such a place?” Because it had a style similar to places called American bars. At a time when the establishment had a lot of debts and technical problems, and the Ikhwan(Muslim brotherhood) had a hard time maintaining its services and carrying the financial burden, that manager Halil Yurtsever made extremely unnecessary and wasteful expenditures and made many people waste their time. He had the terrace on the fifth floor of the establishment covered with iron joinery and had an extremely costly, unnecessary and wasteful decoration made inside. It was too exaggerated. Even the Ikhwan who worked on its construction were working hard. Expensive stone floors, very special and ostentatious wooden tables and seats, and of course the parts needed for barbecue enjoyment… While the refrigerator in the cafeteria of the establishment needs maintenance and expense, even the meat that is put in is wasted, there are problems in the waste water part and it is often carried to the basement floor. While there was a disgraceful situation and there were many parts that needed urgent intervention, he always made such decisions and always led everyone, including me, to question “What kind of behavior is this?”

Deficiencies, mistakes, flaws, and grave situations that could not be told to the nation were not to be counted. One of the chief responsible for this was the administrator Halil Yurtsever. Even the religious lessons that the students had to attend on a daily basis were often not held and were empeached. Actually, I was not going to stay in that institution where there is such intolerable insincerity and injustice, and I would not go to that university. One person overturned my decision.

Even though he did not give me any advice or advice on these issues, it happened. Master Behlül Karak, whom everyone knows well, was thankfully there. He was the administrant of the province. If he had not come and talked to us once a week, if he had not been sincerely committed to this path, and his good morals, justice, love of knowledge, love of service had not flowed even from his actions and decisions, I would not have been able to even see how great this road I had just found was. However, even though they had such an administrator and tried hard to solve the problems, the institution I stayed in was still in such a deep state. Because there were very shocking truths at the root of the problem.

I tried to make up for this deficiency with my personal effort. Not only in religious matters, but also in political, historical and intellectual matters, I worked hard without getting tired and sleepy.

At that time, the internet, blogs, social networks, video platforms, educational sites, e-books and all kinds of information sources did not exist as they are now. I would continue on my way with a limited number of books and a newspaper that I bought and followed daily. Finding that newspaper in that neighborhood was also a problem, and I would suffer every day to find it. Even at that age and in those circumstances, I had unraveled the truth behind many issues, even though it was not explicitly stated in the newspaper and in the books in question. On top of that, I had deciphered crypto-Jews and crypto-Armenians. I had also figured out what actually happened in the recent past and what kind of tales were told to us.

But… I’m past figuring out that these have infiltrated our path to a considerable extent, I couldn’t even guess. Although my possibilities expanded and I learned much more about these issues in the following years, I did not think that they had infiltrated into our congregation, even to the top. When we started to fight in an organized way in the field of politics and intelligence, then we saw and accepted these shocking facts bitterly. We have always understood and known what our deceased elders went through, the background of some of their decisions that could not be understood at first glance, and what kind of policy they followed.

During that studentship I mentioned, we even figured out that behind the strange and contradictory decisions and behaviors of that Halil Yurtsever, the fact that Halil Yurtsever is also a crypto. What kind of encryption is the name of the patriot?

We also figured out how this person and his likes, while displaying very different attitudes towards my face, dug wells behind me, ranting endlessly and always wishing for evil…

Nowadays, as my name, my publications, my influence/power in Turkey and world politics are discussed more, and my publications revealing that there are many crypto traitors in our community, we see that the traitors with crypto identity are in a very, very difficult situation. We see them bragging about me, taking shelter in slanders as soon as possible, and struggling as if they have lost their control out of panic. We know them by name, object and object. Our feet are on the ground. We are not in a hurry, we are dealing with a policy as ingenious as our deceased elders. In these matters, the environment we want has been well established and is being formed. It’s almost time and we’re going to drop them all at once. They are also aware of this, they can’t afford it, they can’t find a way out and they panic. They can’t do anything right now except slander.

That’s why I say, ask for proof from wherever, whoever, whatever claims are made about me, wait for me to use my right of defense, bring us face to face and do not immediately give credit to what is said about me.
