According to the Qur'an, those who abandon religion, become atheists, drink alcohol, abandon prayer, shave their beard and so on are not killed. There is no pressure on anyone when it comes to religion.

It is very wrong to oppress an atheist. An atheistic person honestly reveals his stance. In cases of oppression, people turn to hypocrisy.

There is heavy pressure on Muslims in the world right now. Wherever there is a person sincerely serving Islam, they are trying to obstruct him.

Muslims give advice to others regarding what is unlawful by religion, but do not interfere in anyone’s way of living.

Communism seeks to ensure social justice by force. In Islam, everything is done willingly, lovingly and thus full equality is ensured.

There is no pressure and compelling in religion. Muslims are obliged to say to unbelievers “Your religion is yours and my religion is mine”, they can’t pressure people.

Everyone can be religious or non-religious, however they wish. No one has the right to interfere and force another.

"There is no compulsion where religion is concerned." This is a command of God. This is also a summary of secularism.

Attempting to change the government through a coup and preparing lists for conducting massacres would not be acceptable anywhere. There is no compulsion in Islam.

According to the Qur'an, there can be no compulsion in religion. One cannot force anyone to be a Muslim, but he can only advise. Pressuring people would only produce hypocrites.

There is a horrible and completely unfounded belief in the bigoted mindset that says whoever abandons religion should be killed. In the Qur’an however, there is no compulsion and everyone is free to believe or not to believe.

Life will become beautiful when the Qur’an is fully followed, because the Qur’an breaks the chains and removes burdens on people, and frees them.

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.

Stoning someone to death, killing those who shave their beards or change their religion are not decreed in Islam. These should be declared as false hadiths.

Muslims are free when they fully abide by the Qur'an. Islam abolishes the thousands of prohibitions imposed by systems other than the Islam.

People are created weak and should not be bothered and pestered with unnecessary rules.

Freedom will boost both creativity and artistic talent. Social pressure is the reason behind the artistic stagnation in Turkey.

Misogyny, seeking to oppress women, seeing women subhuman is causing sexual perversion to spread.

A mentality that oppresses women would never develop and prosper. God would open the path of a country in which women enjoy freedom. It would be the end of a country if women are oppressed in that country.

Bigotry hurts young people a lot. There is no compulsion in Islam. In Islam people can be free without anyone interfering with the way they live.

In an environment in which women are oppressed, religion could not be spread. In places women enjoy utmost freedom and beauty, religion spreads very fast.

Many people live alone in misery due to pressure from society and the traditional orthodox system. They cannot experience love at all.

Some rules of the society make life very difficult. People build a self-destructive system. The Qur’an, on the other hand, frees people.

There is no rajm (killing by stoning) in the Qur'an. This is a pagan tradition. Our Prophet (pbuh) never said such a thing.

Terrorist groups like ISIS, Al Qaida, Boko Haram show superstitious hadiths as evidence for the violence they inflict. These false hadiths must be removed from Islamic sources. Superstitions like those that say those who shave their beard, who don't pray and who drink alcohol must be killed are not in line with Islam and must be removed from Islamic texture. Without doing this, it's impossible to end radical terror.
