We present an addendum to some facts we wrote previously about the life of our society with the intention of sending it to Adnan Menderes.
Addendum: In my view, the sole way of preventing the Ticanî question being loaded on the religious Democrats, which resulted from the unnecessary, arbitrary laws of the former regime, indeed, due to their provocations, and so that they do not lose face in the sight of the Islamic world; is to restore Aya Sophia to its sacred function of five hundred years, just as they were strengthened tenfold by restoring the Arabic call to prayer, and to announce the Risale‑i Nur's freedom officially.
For at present the Risale‑i Nur is yielding very favourable results in the Islamic world and has won its good opinion for the people of this country, and five courts have acquitted it, and twenty-eight years of court cases have found nothing harmful in it. The religious Democrats should apply a salve to this wound. Then they will both win the good opinion of the world of Islam, and the injustices and errors of others will not be ascribed to them. For the sake of the religious Democrats and especially such persons as Adnan Menderes, I have dwelt on political matters for an hour or two despite having renounced them for the past thirty-five years, and have written this.
