Every aspect of the understanding of religion outside the Qur’an is horrible; laughing, dancing, painting, statues, music, women’s going out, children wearing shorts are all forbidden in their twisted minds. In some Islamic scholars perverse understanding, the penalty for shaving one’s beard or not performing daily prayers is death. None of those have any place in the Qur’an. The religion that they promote that has no place in the Qur’an and it turns this world into a living hell.

In their perverse minds, some Muslims scholars look down on women and teach others how women should be beaten. There is no such license to beat women in the Qur’an. Women are held in high esteem in Islam.

The religion that claims women should be beaten, that art should be forbidden and that joy is unlawful is not the true Islam of the Qur’an.

The world promised by the misogynists is like hell. However, the world becomes a place like heaven when the Qur'an is followed.

If Turkey becomes very modern, where arts excel and women are free, the whole world will be friendlier towards Turkey.

Radicals are so predisposed to hate the arts, music and happiness that they cannot bring themselves to accept the fact that Islam champions these blessings. Radical men believe that they deserve freedom and having fun, but cannot accept that women have the same rights as well.

They are trying to set up the government by giving the impression that people will not be free in Turkey.

There is no license to beat women in the Qur’an. Our Prophet (pbuh) held women in high esteem.

Women love reasonable and decent men who fear God and who are able to think profoundly. Women are the most beautiful beings of this world. I really am astounded to see that they are not appreciated as they deserve.

In an environment in which women are not free, life would be hellish and perversion would run rampant. Islam, as explained in the Qur’an is radiant; it is the light of life.

There is no beating of women in the Qur'an. Misogyny is diametrically opposite to Qur'an.

At the time of the Mahdi, ladies will be very free. No one will interfere with them or try to oppress or disturb them.

What really disturbs those loveless people and causes their jealousy is not the way my friends dress, but the profound love and loyalty they have for me.

We want a world in which all women – both those wearing jilbab (full covering) or revealing clothes - are respected highly.

Some people post their revealing photos with the verses of the Qur’an next to them. This is not something I approve of.

The bigoted mindset tries to make women appear like potential criminals, as people who are dangerous and who should walk around in sloppy style. Pressuring women so much and trying to take away their beauty causes homosexuality to spread. It is not abnormal to have like for women and admire their beauty. This is what befits human nature. When the nature is corrupted, perversion is spread. What God has deemed unlawful is illegitimate relationship, not that women are well groomed and attractive.

God would not give relief and plentitude to those societies in which women are oppressed and persecuted. God does not consent to persecution.

Some who claim that music and low-cut dresses are illegal according to religion in fact make music themselves, and live with women wearing décolleté. This is insincere.

My woman friends who prefer décolleté in the show are very important in terms of women's rights. I have many friends I've known for 30 years.

The beauty of women brings life to the whole world. When women are oppressed the joy of the world would be lost. Without the beauty of women, life would be as dull as the grave.

A country in which women are oppressed cannot be affluent. Women should be free everywhere and should be able to go out in a chador or in revealing clothes, as they like. Women should be held in high esteem wherever they go.

Some people take everything for granted when it comes to men while they regard everything forbidden for women merely based on their own logic. They insist on keeping women ugly and neglected. They use violence against women and even martyr them, then claim that they did so out of love. It is a grave cruelty to compel a woman to lead a life she doesn’t want.

Although it is completely untrue, bigots have portrayed Islam as an extremist, misogynistic system. Because of that, Islamophobia has now spread everywhere.

Everyone is complaining about the pressure on ladies in society. The solution is the Mahdi’s system.

Omer Halis Demir is a lion; a perfect example of a person with great love for God and fear of God.
