It is very wrong to oppress an atheist. An atheistic person honestly reveals his stance. In cases of oppression, people turn to hypocrisy.

Due to efforts of the British Deep State, Rumi’s philosophy is now the most common religion among atheists, homosexuals. But it is not the Mawlavism known in Anatolia.

According to the Qur'an, those who abandon religion, become atheists, drink alcohol, abandon prayer, shave their beard and so on are not killed. There is no pressure on anyone when it comes to religion.

Some circles are trying to carry out perverted subliminal manipulation on people in the name of art. They are thus trying to legitimize homosexuality, which is deemed unlawful by religion. Atheistic artists produce works with perverted themes that try to legitimize homosexuality and murder, and that conflict with reverence for the Prophets.

Atheists are honest and openly declare that they do not believe. Hypocrites, on the other hand, are perfidious, treacherous and ignominous. They try to corrode Muslims from the inside out.

Rumi’s philosophy is almost like atheism. Some say ‘We’ve read the Qur'an enough’ (Surely, the Qur'an is above that). This wrong thinking should be unmasked.

It is important to protect not just a single group or movement, but all people including atheists, the irreligious and others.

I do care for and feel compassion for our atheist brothers as well. They can come see me whenever they like and ask questions.

Atheists do not conceal their opinions; they honestly reveal what they think. It would be wrong to approach them mercilessly.

Many who reveal themselves to be irreligious may be essentially secretly believing since they ponder, search and study matters. That is why we should not exclude anyone who is atheist and irreligious. We may not know it from the outside, but he may be reflecting on God and trying to understand.

I have never approved atheistic Freemasonry and always made my intellectual stance against it very clear.

Atheistic Freemasons and those who join Freemasonry to pursue material goals actually have nothing to do with Freemasonry. Right now, atheism is on the decline in Freemasonry and its influence is weakening.

True Freemasonry is an ancient institute going back thousands of years. It believes in God and has an open-minded mentality that respects ideas, faiths and values women. True Freemasonry doesn't recognize or take seriously those small, atheistic groups that formed by themselves and claim to be atheist Masons.

There are small, illegal groups in every country that claim to be Masons. They are not really linked to true Freemasons. Atheists that infiltrated Freemasonry for personal gains or small groups that pretend to be Masons shouldn't be taken seriously.

Those atheists that claim to criticize Islam and Qur’an with their books are all adherents of Rumi. Everyone should see how odd this is.

The PKK’s ideology will be destroyed when Darwinism is destroyed. The destruction of Darwinism will be a harsh intellectual blow to the atheist system in the world.

Believers always think in favor of God and religion. Muslims cannot make an unfavorable analysis, but only favorable ones. They always assume the best [for God and believers]. But if a person is among disbelievers or is an atheist, he might think unfavorably about God and religion; however, after having faith in God, a believer cannot continue to do so. They should always give the benefit of the doubt and think positively.

Many Islamic circles cannot get into touch with atheists, freemasons and Knight Templars and preach them religion. They cannot accomplish it with their current mindset.

Being an atheist means being honest. They bravely, honestly say, "I do not believe in God, I do not believe in religion. If there is a person who can convince me otherwise, let's talk as if I will believe I want it to be sincere." But dishonesty, hypocrisy is horrible.

But if you try to win atheists, disbelievers, those against Islam over, then you should try even harder to win over the Muslims who have a sickness in their hearts and weaker faiths. You can easily commune with such people as they are already among you. No matter how abnormal they may behave, how ill-tempered they are, the merit, the reward of trying to win such people over are greater.

Believers should respect and feel compassion for atheists. Atheists are honestly admitting that they cannot believe. They don't lie.

Religion is the basis of family and moral values. There are atheists with good morals but their morality is also based on religion.

Friends should be chosen based on their love of God, fear of God and sincerity. And a believer can be friends with an atheist too, as long as the atheist is respectful and loving.

What kind of interpretation of Islam is it if you do not preach to atheists and Darwinists? Who are we meant to command good and forbid evil to? Who are we meant to struggle against? Muslims have a duty to talk about Islam to Jews and Christians, known as the People of the Book, to atheists, to pagans and to everyone, in the kind of language they can understand. That is God’s command. You cannot talk about Islam using hostile language, only through love.

The Prophet Moses (pbuh) preached to Pharaoh, and the Prophet Abraham preached to Nimrod. A Muslim will speak to and preach to anyone, be they atheist, communist or whatever.
