Having martyrs will never trouble or upset us. It is the terrorists that will be troubled. Martyrdom is a blessing for Muslims.

Three of my friends were martyred and there are also seven veterans among my friends. I have friends currently joining the operations against the terror organization PKK in the Southeast of Turkey. Martyrdom is an honor.

Martyrs are our lions, they protect our nation with great courage. Their rank is so esteemed; we are in admiration of their martyrdom.

May God bless the martyrdom of our martyrs. The British secret state uses the PKK this time in Southeastern Anatolia, like it did in Gallipoli before.

We will not allow a Stalinist state to be established in the Southeast of Turkey. If needed we can have hundreds of thousands of martyrs but we won’t give away an acre of our land.

It would be a grave mistake to use all our military power, weapons, means and munitions against ISIS when the activities of the PKK are so self-evident, when the PKK militants martyr our soldiers, our policemen every day, when they explode bombs all around Turkey.

Muslims are being martyred en masse, yet certain scholars still instigate conflict between Shia and Sunni. They don't strive for Islamic unity. Some scholars are oblivious to the disastrous bloodshed of Muslims. If they were mindful altogether, the Islamic world would unite right away. Bediuzzaman Said Nursi also emphasized that the only solution is to establish the Islamic Union on the foundations of the truth of the Qur'an.

Mourning is unlawful according to religion, it is an ancient pagan custom. As the ancient Sumerians, ancient Egyptians, Persians, Hittites did not believe in the afterlife, in martyrdom, they considered death as a disaster. They would cry as to rebel against God. Us Muslims regard martyrdom as [achieving] an honorable rank.

Children are great blessings. Many people do not even pay attention to children when they see them. The admiration for their beauty should be voiced.

Those who claim they are sensitive over the issue of child molestation should also bring up the aftermath of thousands of Syrian refugee children who are lost.

People assume their child belongs to them. The truth is, all children belong to God. God creates these children and grants them to their families.

It is very nice to instill love of plants and animals to children. Families who raise their children like this are very right.

No matter whose, every funeral should be respected. There should be no humiliation in any funeral; once one is dead, once his soul is gone and there is only flesh and bone behind to decompose, it should be respected regardless of who it belongs to.

They should quit playing the funeral march for the martyrs. That is very disturbing. It is such weird, depressing music and absolutely unnecessary. Martyrs should be sent off with salawats, by saying Allahu Akbar and should be shown round the city.

There are headlines in the media saying “The crying has resounded everywhere, families are miserable, etc." Does that suit us as Muslims? There are no such cries at the funerals of the PKK militants. On the contrary, they walk about with their heads held high, they promise revenge, they shout out slogans. Albeit unwittingly, reports about crying at the funerals serve as propaganda for the PKK.

The love between children and their pets is like a preview of Heaven.

The innocence, pureness and cleanliness of children is like an instance from the life of Heaven.

The sweetness and innocence of children is a special blessing that God creates for us to love them.

The love between children and their pets is incredible; a very nice form of love that profoundly affects the souls.

This life is short, our life in hereafter is the real one.

Our police and soldiers are being incredibly careful to protect the civilians. That’s why the operation against the terror organization PKK is taking this long.

It is astonishing that we don’t feel it at all when the earth is travelling with an incredible speed in the universe.

Turkish Ministry of Religious Affairs should work to emphasize and reinforce the unity, solidarity and motivation of Muslims.

Misogyny, seeking to oppress women, seeing women subhuman is causing sexual perversion to spread.

Spring flowers are adorable. They are all conscious and blossom when God tells them to. They carry the mark of God.
