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

We are a modern, secular, enlightened, democratic community that takes everything beautiful as a basis, that demands what is elegant and high-quality, that are keen on what is lawful and what is not.

We learn the most right, beautiful and sensible form of secularism by way of the Qur'an. Islam advocates 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.

Secularism, democracy and freedom are the principles of Islam.

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.

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.

According to the Qur'an, people are deemed free to choose if they will perform their prayers or not. Muslims are only responsible for explaining what God commands and nothing more.

They imagine that Islam will cease to exist when there is secularism. Secularism means irreligious and religious people living together in comfort. Islam guarantees the coexistence of both irreligious and religious people.

What befalls on Muslims is to preach Islam. According to Islam, exerting pressure and compulsion is unlawful.

According to the Qur'an, everyone can practice his own religion as he pleases. The verse says “You have your religion and I have mine”. Consequently, a Muslim should never exert pressure on anyone.

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.

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

I would never intervene in anyone's way of living. They may all live as they like as I have respect for all points of view.

Secularism is best explained in Islam and the Qur’an. The commandment in the Qur’an that reads “your religion is yours and my religion is mine” is the best application of secularism.

The verse in the Qur’an, “your religion is yours and my religion is mine” is the most perfect description of democracy and secularism.

President Erdoğan is a sincere statesman who defends and preserves secularism.

Secularism is found in the essence of religion. The verse that reads: “Say, your religion is yours, my religion is mine” in the Qur’an describes secularism.

The best version of secularism is in the Qur’an. According to the Qur’an, everyone has freedom of thought and every faith is protected.

The verse “Your religion is yours and my religion is mine” in the Qur’an is the best summary of secularism. There is no compulsion in Islam. But there is no freedom in the system of bigotry.

Kurds sought refugee in Turkey and Barzani's administration since they are tired of the PYD's oppression and don't like to live under its rule.

We'll see even bigger events in 2017, pass through a tunnel of horror and then come into a bright world. Muslims should not be shaken in the meantime.
