The claim that he was "part of the coup project"

The evidence was a video cut down to under a minute; when the 4.5-minute original of the speech was published, most of those who had shared it corrected their view.

Unfounded

Why Was the Call for a Mutual Imprecation Made to Faruk Beşer?

There is no one-sided curse here; there is a call for a mutual imprecation, made after three and a half months of silence, conditional and covering both sides.

Distorted

The "Aggressive Person Who Incites the Young" Claim

For three and a half months not one word was said in reply to the accusations; in a body with thousands of members, not a single incident of violence or public disorder can be pointed to.

Unfounded

The "He Says Tawhid but Divides the Muslims" Claim

The claim rests on a confusion of concepts: tawhid is to recognise no authority besides Allah, while wahdah is the unity of the Muslims. And criticism and tafriqa are not the same thing either.

Distorted

The "He Deceives People with Religion" Claim

For this accusation, repeated in two separate disputes, not a single lesson, sentence or fatwa was produced. And those addressed in at-Tawbah 31, cited as the evidence, are religious scholars who declare the forbidden permitted.

Unfounded

The Claim That the Members of the Religious Community Are an "Unquestioning Herd"

A blanket imputation made about thousands of people without a single name, incident or record being given. What stands against it is madrasa work, educational activities and an open archive.
