Adnan Oktar A9 TV; July 20th, 2016

Today, all political parties have to be in alliance. The plotters of the coup are only a handful before the 82 million-strong Turkish people.

A coup is an action that abolishes respect for humanity. One who advocates coups cannot advocate Islam. Democracy exists in Islam.

There is only one explanation of firing at civilians from tanks: This is the biggest treachery and ignominy in all of history.

The idea of a coup is based on intimidation. Our nation's bravery and fearless nature completely neutralised the attempted coup.

Democratic struggle; even with harshest words or opposition is acceptable. But firing at civilians can never be accepted.

A coup is an insult to people that amounts to saying, ‘You can’t think properly, I’ll think for you.’

On the night of the coup attempt, before anyone else appeared on TV, I said that it couldn’t have been done with the army’s chain of command.

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

God showed the menace of lovelessness and anger and how it can turn into shocking cruelty.

In one night, God inspired entire Turkey to unite and stand together. This was a blessing of God.

We need to hear everyone condemn with the strongest words saying that those who fired at civilians, who ran over civilians with tanks are the vilest of men.

God trains and disciplines our people by great incidents. First the PKK, then the parallel structure become instrumental in strengthening our people.

Turkey has encountered an unprecedented incident in its history. This happening has caused the Turkish people to interlock as never before. This never happened in the 60s and the 80s.

Existence of cold, cruel, ruthless people lays the ground for coup plotters. A coup plotter would like to shed blood; this is great peril.

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

Being against the coup doesn't mean supporting a political party. As the people, we must emphasize that we're against the coup and united as one.

Coups have always paralyzed Turkey and dragged us backwards. Coups never bring any solution; on the contrary it just makes problems grow.

Our President is doing what is right by seeking refuge in his nation and asking them to protect their homeland, their state and nation. The most effective solution against the coup is the reaction of the people.

It would be highly becoming for a Muslim to show a brave attitude for the well- being of the country and the nation within the limits of law and order.

Our martyrs who made their bodies shields before the coup plotters are lambs in Heaven. All of them are lions and so courageous.

Soldiers were dispatched from their quarters on pretext of military exercise. They would have not obeyed orders if they were aware this was an attempt at a coup.

Turkish people are known with their faith in God. Takbir (praising God) is food for our souls. Hearts find peace by praising God.

Secularism, democracy and freedom are the principles of Islam.

Blood-shedders, warmongers cannot be the Mahdi or his followers. The Mahdi will not shed a single drop of blood.

This is not the time to see political differences. This is a time for the unity of all patriots, regardless of differences.
