Turkey's becoming an ultra-modern country is crucially important.

There is no place for communism in Turkey's destiny. Turkey and the rest of the region are being shaken with the beauty of the system of the Mahdi.

We are the pride, and the bright, modern face of Islam against the dark traditionalist Orthodox Islamic conception. We are a community that Muslims can show as an example with ease and a clear conscience.

People are fed up with bigotry. Stoning women to death, executing those who do not perform

Turkey is not just another country. In the case of Turkey's separation, the Islamic Unity will fall apart. So will the unification of the Turkish world. We will never accept anything that will lead to this.

The downtrodden of the world are taking refuge in Turkey, like Noah’s Ark. And we are moving towards a safe haven by God’s grace.

We’re promoting the way of the Qur’an; the spirit of the Companions. It is modern, devout and compliant with human nature.

Turkey has to be modern, with modern cities, modern towns, modern roads and modern people. Quality has to be prevalent everywhere.

Turkey should be the center of love, teacher of love for the whole world. We should be the ones that encourage love, goodness in the world.

It wouldn't be becoming for Turkey to act with ill temper. Problems can't be settled with harshness. Wisdom and compassion is needed.

The most humane, merciful and generous country towards refugees is Turkey. The world admires the compassion of Turkey.

Turkey should be the epitome of modernism, quality, love and art. Young people and women should be completely free.

Armenians, Kurds, Circassians, Turks are all true owners of this country. As long as they are democrats, it doesn't matter what views they hold.

Turkey has a very rich culture of social graces that cannot be found in other countries. European etiquette is rather limited while the Anatolian one is quite rich.

Turkey should become a modern, high quality country as soon as possible. You know how modern the villages and towns of Norway, Sweden and Denmark are, right? We should achieve a much higher level of civilization than these countries ever did.

Bigots had caused a steel barrier to be built between Islam and the people. We crushed this set in the ideological sense. We eliminated the gloom of the traditionalist conception of Islam. Now modern, intellectual people have comprehended the real nature of Islam and they have widely embraced it. Our works have pulverized the steel wall between people and Islam.

The remedy for ISIS terror is the true Islam based on the Qur'an in which arts, beauty, modernity and refinement predominates.

The West seeks for and wishes to see a true modern conception of Islam. The British Deep State uses the absence of modernism as leverage against Muslims.

If you give fanaticism an inch, it takes a mile. It is very dangerous. The state must adopt a determined policy to spread modern thinking, a modern state structure and a modern conception of art. In other words, one must live by a modern Islam. What does modern mean? Like in the time of the Companions.

Modernity must become a policy of state. Unless Turkey becomes a modern country it will always be the target of various stratagems and people will try to destroy it. The most vitally important thing is to build a modern Turkey.

In an attempt to drive people away from Islam, they are trying to build a Muslim character that is introverted, not modern, one that is loveless and despotic.

Many people were against our modernity but step by step, they've come to our modernity. That is a transitional stage. And now they will go through another stage. They will then come to a more modern line, to the real Islam as found in the Qur'an.

Islam means modernity, high quality and love. Muslims are very well kept; they laugh and have fun to the fullest as they like. Those who claim otherwise are wrong.

Islamic Union will not be based on bigotry. An enlightened understanding of Islam based on modernity, high quality and arts will prevail.

It is unacceptable to make jokes about religion and faith. Those who do such jokes are weak in faith.
