Islamic Union is Heaven on earth. It is a system where peace, brotherhood, art, love prevail everywhere, and wars, conflict and fighting end.

We should document some people's views towards Muslims and make it subject of a book. They foolishly assume they can lead Muslims like sheep. Those who don't advise atheists and communists assume in their own minds they can govern Muslims. Muslims are wise, not weak-minded as they see.

Muslims are in such a deadlock that their minds are frozen by rules non-existing in religion, , music, arts, being joyful. Since being exuberant is shown as a potential sin and they regard themselves as guilty, they have a defeated character. Muslims who abide by the Qu'ran are enlightened, high-quality, self-assured and wise. No Muslims should agree to having a defeated style.

By showing Muslims to be against modernity, they are trying to crush Turkey. We are turning their plots upside down.

Unbelievers don't tolerate the sneakiness and laziness of hypocrites; they humiliate them. Hypocrites want to use the courtesy of Muslims. Believers are patient and compassionate towards hypocrites. This's why hypocrites find it more comfortable to live among believers.

If a person prefers to be a man of violence and dread rather than a man of love, this is a dajjal movement.

Every action taken against Muslims in truth exalts Muslims while belittling those who set those plots.

The coup attempt was very favorable for our people. The spirit of unity, brotherhood and religiousness became stronger.

In the Mahdi movement, people will no longer have spirit of dissent; on the contrary, the spirit of unity and brotherhood will be fortified.

There are always great reasons for everything that happens, including this coup attempt. One of them was how it brought people together.

With this recent incident, God solidified the bonds of brotherhood in our people. People saw the menace of lovelessness.

They try to solve every issue with conflict, blood and bombing. Violence begets violence; it leads to more blood and dread.

Our Prophet foretold that the End Times would be an age of violence and terror. There is an intense indoctrination of violence right now.

It is blood that feeds terror. Terror cannot be repressed through violence.

Thousands of books about the sufficiency of the Qur'an and the fact that there exists no violence in Islam must be handed out by means of planes which are now used to drop bombs.

Insults to religion and sacred values are regarded almost as if it is normal. Yet when religious people make the slightest mistake, they are given such a hard time.

There are some people trying to make it lawful to insult and curse the state. No state of law would accept that.

A person may not have faith or he may not believe in God’s existence but it’s unacceptable for him to slander the religion. Slandering religion and faith is not freedom of expression. Reviling believers is not freedom of expression.

God says, "No one despairs of solace from God except for people who are disbelievers." It is quite abnormal to lose hope that people will become better. Advising such people and putting them on the right path is what should be strived for.

Fiercely defending one's own desires is a mental illness. One should get a grip on himself in this situation and take refuge in God. He should ask himself, "How did I turn into such an abnormal person?" He should listen to what others have to say in a reasonable manner. A Muslim is open to 'al-amr bi-l-maʿrūf wa-n-nahy ʿani-l-munkar' (enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong). Therefore, he becomes wiser with ease.

No group or community has the right to discipline another. A Muslim only says what is right and wrong, but should never try to set anyone straight.

When you advise hypocrites to talk about God, they go crazy, you tell them to stay away from blasphemy, they go crazy. It is like satan’s session. You know how satan goes mad all of a sudden? That is how they go mad out of nowhere. That is why you have to be very careful and even-tempered when you talk to hypocrites.

You need to be very attentive while talking to a hypocrite. When they are prescribed goodness and proscribed evil, they become insane, enraged. Since their souls welcome rebellion and fiendishness, they feel very uncomfortable.

Football is good for young people as a fun, socializing and energizing activity. But there should be no swearing, no insults or aggression.

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.
