Prayers For President Gul: Don't Imitate Stinking, Fossilized, Rotten West

At the court of the mosque where he went for Friday prayer, former Turkish PM Necmettin Erbakan offered his support and prayers to the new Turkish President Abdullah Gul, who was his protégé, MP, a minister and deputy in his government. He said, “May Allah protect him from sins and evil and may he act according to the wishes of the people and not of the evil. This is how I pray for him.”On AKP’s success in the recent general elections Erbakan said, “Our people have protected our values for centuries. Why should we [Muslims] that have built countless civilizations, leave our essence and identity in order to imitate the stinking, fossilized, rotten West? Our people are rejecting this and are step by step returning to their real selves.
