The rules of a society not abiding by the morality of the Qur'an are suffocating. Islam grants the greatest freedom to human beings.

Turkey should be a country in which people from all walks of life can live altogether in peace.

The way to gridlock coups is modernism, high-quailty, arts and all kinds of freedom.

Turkey is a modern country, one in which people live freely as they like. We don’t accept any backwards steps regarding our modernity.

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

The main principle of Freemasonry is freedom of thought, respect for ideas, peace, friendship and brotherhood. Yet not every Mason can match that level of refinement. Surely there can be ignorant people among Masons that don't respect ladies and all humans in general, or who have no respect for art or refinement.

Freedom of faith; this is the greatest beauty the CHP can provide. They should be close to religious communities. They should show that they will present love to everyone.

Freedom of thought does not mean insulting everyone, upsetting everyone, hurting them and attempting to suffocate their joy and love. Love should be taken as basis. The concept of freedom of thought is sacred; that is okay, but love is even more sacred, kindness is even more sacred, respect is even more sacred.

As long as it does not limit someone else’s freedom and happiness and does not contradict laws, people should be completely free.

Every person has the right to live freely according to their belief. But bigotry does not know how to approach people with compassion.

Religion provides the highest level of freedom and is the best model of life.

There is freedom of faith in Turkey. The members of all religious sects are free to practice their faith as they see fit.

Under the influence of the traditionalist orthodox understanding of religion, the Middle East appears as a region that lacks freedoms, quality, art and beauty. This is why they are trying to re-shape the Middle East.

When religion is set free, abundance comes to that country. This is the sole reason behind the plentitude in US; the fact that religion is free there. When religion is set free in Turkey, Turkey will be radiant and plentitude will come upon Turkey as well.

Being a communist is not an offense but being a terrorist, anarchist, ferocious organization is an offense. Otherwise if it were to remain on the intellectual level, be a communist, defend any other ideology you like we would not be concerned by any of them. You can be an atheist, you can be a communist, but if you attempt to employ violence and terror, we would be standing against you. We would not let you do that.

Claiming that it is not possible to have fun and entertainment in an environment in which the Qur’an and religion is discussed would mean taking Islam out of a wide expanse of life. The Qur’an is everywhere in Anatolia, they are dancing halay and have their weddings in houses where there are copies of the Qur’an. Women and men of Black Sea play horon together. They have the Qur’an with them as well. In the Southeast of Turkey, women dance halay together with men. They too have the Qur’an. God’s name is mentioned and verses are read, the Prophets are talked about in djemevi in which women and men whirl together. Do they think all those should be banned as well? Since such a thing would not be acceptable, it is important to create an environment in which people will be able live according to their thoughts and their faiths comfortably.

Every opinion, every thought should be respected. We need to be respectful towards Christians, Jews, Alawites, Sunnis, atheists, towards those who go out and have fun, those who laugh, those who do not laugh, towards women, towards everyone. Interfering in people’s lives is unacceptable. Everyone should be able to live as ever they like.

Utmost freedom within the limits of the Qur’an, without preventing another’s happiness, without causing pain to anyone is the only limit to freedom.

The vast majority of the Turkish people are Ataturkist, intellectual people who have progressive thoughts, who like freedoms, who understand Islam as it was in the time of the Companions, people who advocate modern Islam. All our youth are modern. Consequently it would not be possible to enforce bigoted, fanatical understanding of Islam in Turkey.

If a person is intimidated and forced into accepting an opinion, hatred will be formed in his/her subconscious towards that opinion. People should be warmed into ideas by making them love these ideas, by persuasion and by gentle placation. It should be done reasonably and peacefully through democratic means.

We request from our Prime Minister to abolish RTUK (Radio and Television Supreme Council). They should close RTUK and leave television free. RTUK is an application that hinders freedoms. If someone commits a crime we have courts to deal with that anyway.

Contractions, introverted behavior, abasement brings about disasters. Freedom, libertarian openings, developments brings about richness.

The Quran heavily preaches secularism. God says in the verse of the Quran; "Say: 'You have your religion and I have my religion'" (Qur’an, 109/6). This verse is a short summary of secularism.

Secularism means the nonbelievers, Christians, Jews, Muslims, everyone will practice their beliefs with ease; no one will be able to interfere with their beliefs. There will be no compulsion or oppression. This is what secularism means. Everyone will be free to live their lives any way they want.

In the works written in the name of Mawlana, in other words in Rumism, there is a blatant propaganda for homosexuality and opposition to women.
