It is a righteous demand to ask for perfection in judicial system as long as it in line with laws. Opposition brings democratic opulence.

Providing that it is legitimate, all protests, marches and rallies are favorable in terms of showing the prosperity of democracy in Turkey.

The strong voice of the opposition shows that democracy works perfectly well in Turkey.

There is a serious attack against Turkey at the moment and the Turkish state is protecting herself while painstakingly striving to protect democracy.

Demanding “an opportunity to divide Turkey” is not democracy.

Democratic displays and protests are the rights of every citizen but vandalism or attacking security officers is unacceptable. A society that talks, discusses, opposes the things they dislike and defends their different opinions is a beautiful society. But violence is never acceptable as a method.

Turkey must become the most modern and most democratic country of the highest quality as soon as possible. Only then will the anti-Turkey movement disappear.

One other good aspect of our activities is that we have an understanding that conciliates the conservative part of the society with the secular part. There is a lack of communication between these two parts that is being used by those who want to dissociate the society. Many examples of these have been experienced in the past. Our activities are of crucial importance to avoid experiencing similar incidents again. Both parts are the children of this country, both sides are valuable. When there is a rigid understanding, it would not be possible for the conservative part to reach people who live by the shores, to the secular ones. Both sides continue their lives among themselves. By explaining the fact that the Qur’an brings democracy, secularity and freedom, we remove the prejudices of both parties. But it seems as though some bigots are determined to divide society, so we are trying to correct this. We will insha’Allah live together as brothers with love.

The verse in the Qur’an, “your religion is yours and my religion is mine” is the most perfect description of democracy and secularism.

There is no such thing as ‘the freedom to insult’ in any democratic country. Criticism and opinions must be expressed within the boundaries of respect.

We don't want any dissident voices to be silenced. An abundance of dissident voices is the beauty of democracy.

Democracy is about diversity of thought, freedom to pursue different political goals. But our people don't want deceit or plots.

The reign of Islamic morality around the world means the reign of peace, love, democracy, freedom and quality. Everyone would like it.

Turkey is a democratic country. A referendum would only reinforce our brotherhood. Both those who would vote ‘yes’ and those who would vote ‘no’ are the children of our country.

Turkey is a democratic country and this is not Turkey's first referendum. Under all circumstances, the outcome will be auspicious.

The fact that those criticizing the government voice their ideas freely demonstrates the strength of democracy in Turkey. There is no need to be disturbed by that.

Having a strong opposition shows that Turkey has democracy. Therefore our brothers should not be bothered with opposition.

The same respect should be shown both to those who vote ‘no’ and ‘yes’ in the referendum for the constitutional amendments. That is a requisite of democracy.

In a referendum one must show respect to both those who say 'yes' and 'no'. This is what democracy stands for.

No one can target or plot against Turkey as long as she is modern, civilized, democratic and champions women’s rights.

No one should be criticized for making her/his own choice based on good conscience. People should choose freely in a democratic atmosphere.

It is crucial that democratic principles are upheld in every decision and practice, and that courts have the sole say.

The fact that the opposition exists in Turkey is one of the strongest evidences that democracy exists. It should be promoted.

In an attempt to drive people away from Islam, they are trying to build a Muslim character that is introverted, not modern, one that is loveless and despotic.

The way to render the system of dajjal ineffective is the unity of Muslims. Bigotry brings about defeat for Muslims. With an intellectual, democratic mindset, by advocating freedoms, appreciating women, with knowledge, peace and love, we’ll bring down dajjal.
