Democratic rights and freedoms in Turkey are much better compared to other countries and are getting even better.

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

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

Those who sought to rule Turkey from Chatham House should not be given any posts in the Turkish state. Turkey cannot be governed from Chatham House.

Turkey does not need Britain or other countries to give counsel about her domestic affairs. Turkey is a state that knows what to do when.

Turkey helps the innocent in need with all her strength and President Erdogan is instrumental in accomplishing this great effort.

Turkey is a country under God’s protection. The efforts of the dajjal’s system are in vain. They’ll not succeed.

Turkey is the fortress of the Mahdi movement. This is why the claws of the dajjal cannot pierce through Turkey.

Turkey must become the center of art and quality.

Turkey should be a country that approaches the world with fatherly compassion and befriend every single country and nation

Turkey will assume a conciliatory and mitigating role in international affairs.

Turkey will surely change for the better because it is her destiny.

Turkey’s foreign policy should be based on befriending all countries.

Russians are very noble, respectful, obeisant and beautiful people. Putin is a brave and beautiful person and is strongly against Turkey’s division.

America is wrong about their attitude against Turkey as she would be taking on all the Muslim and Turkic countries and would thus be left alone.

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.

A believer considers serving Islam as a blessing but hypocrites don’t want to serve Islam. They follow their own evil religious law. Living alone, being stingy and feckless, leading an aimless, vain life, any act of moral turpitude and lying are all acceptable in the evil religious understanding of hypocrites.
