There is no verse in the Qur'an that decrees music to be unlawful. The Qur’an is very clear and precise; there is no room in the Qur’an for implications.

By implication, one can’t derive decrees from the Qur'an. God reveals the lawful and unlawful deeds by means of precise verses.

There were no schools of law in Islam at the Prophet Muhammad (saas)’s time. Now there are four different schools with four different unlawful and lawful rules. They’ve created four different religions.

God reveals in the Qur’an, “Do not say about what your lying tongues describe: ‘This is lawful and this is unlawful’” (Surat an-Nahl, 116) Wearing tattoos is not unlawful.

A tattoo is not unlawful in Islam. It doesn’t prevent ghusl or ablution since it’s under the skin.

It is a breathtaking miracle to hear the atoms and electricity that enter into the ear in the form of speech and music with treble and bass arrangements made. Normally we would perceive the electricity that comes from the ears only as a humming sound. But we are capable of hearing it in the form of music, distinguishing the direction of sound and differences in treble and bass.

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.

Some people want to draw Turkish people into an environment removed from quality, joy and arts like Syria, Iraq. For them it’s all about remaining alive, they want to live like an organism. This is not the life God wants for us. Love, beauty, quality and joy are essential in life.

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

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.

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.

Some people think the pious should be detached from life. According to this mindset they can enjoy life while the devout must be withdrawn.

In the superstitious system advocated by the bigots, photography, listening to music and dancing are all unlawful. According to that perverted and bigoted system, those who shave their beards and drink alcohol are to be killed.

Listening to music, taking photos, dancing, art, science, beauty, having fun; none of those are unlawful by religion.

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.

There is a plan to push Muslims into radicalism, and then use radicalism as an excuse to kill Muslims and Christians in a horrific war. The only way to foil this plot is being very modern, enlightened and being friends with Christians.

Misogynists who seek to keep ladies from wearing modern clothes are oppressive not only towards them, but towards children as well.

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

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.

It is not right to advise 'not to remember God' at times when we have fun and enjoy ourselves. A religious person remembers God and speaks about God wherever he is or whatever he does.

In order for the nightclubs to be really enjoyable, ladies should feel completely safe, free and comfortable there.

Those who attempt to set traps using slanders and false accusations against us can try all they can. They will get their answer legally.

Let’s be united as the CHP, the AK Party, the MHP and all other political parties should come together in brotherhood. Let’s break the games of the coup-supporters with the help of the law.

When we intellectually eradicated Darwinism in full, this caused the defeat of the leftist ideology and the right coming to power.

Ms Selin Sayek Böke’s family has both Christian and Muslim heritage. This is an honor and beauty. It is immoral to threaten an innocent woman.
