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.

We need to be the most modern country in Europe. Ankara should be even better than Paris. Istanbul should be far more high quality than London. It should have incomparable quality. There should be decent, kind, companionable people of peace everywhere. Everyone, people from all walks of life, people from every political party should feel love for one another in coffeehouses and streets.

Societies attain happiness when women are happy. For women to be happy, they should be free and well-protected. Both the state and people should be protective of them, everyone should protect and watch over women and they should be treasured everywhere they go so that they could be happy and vivacious.

Perform your prayers five times a day, count beads all night long but have high quality. If you want to cover your head, do so, but do it in style and with quality. Using ugly wraps and cloths is unacceptable. Women used to cover themselves up in the Ottoman times as well but they were like amazing works of art. This was how women appeared before people, like flowers. That is nothing that would prevent being religious.

Any state lacking quality would collapse. Any state that oppresses women would be ruined. That is because half of all people are women. There will be no relief or comfort if women are oppressed there. God takes revenge.

Women should be free to wear what they like and live at ease all around the world. Any country that doesn't provide that freedom has been ruined. The countries in which women enjoy freedom become the most modern, most peaceful and most content countries of the world. Anything other than that is not possible. Let those wearing chadors wear it as they like, let those wearing veils wear it as they like, everyone should be free. Ladies should not be oppressed.

If we become Europeans, be enlightened and loving, if we hold women in high esteem, if it is seen that women are free in our country, if we attach importance to the arts, sciences, aesthetics, we would attain the highest quality. Anything other than that would cause our ruin.

In bigotry, homes lack quality, their cars lack quality, their streets lack quality. An incomprehensible degeneracy pervades around them. The quality of the clothes goes bad, the quality of paintings, food and everything goes bad and becomes blunt. Bigotry advocates this bluntness, this crassness and this lack of quality and that is a grave danger. We need to be very cautious against that.

A country in which women are not modern can never be modern. A country in which women are not comfortable and free can never be free. No one would ever laugh in a country in which women do not laugh. If women are not happy in a country, no one else can ever be happy.

We need to be a very modern European country. This is something our government should emphasize the most. Without modernity, there would be no progress in science, in arts. Without modernity we would not have any military power. We would become a classical Middle Eastern country and collapse gradually.

The government should protect and watch over the rights of women, freedom, democracy, music, arts and everything that is beautiful. The government should look out for quality and aesthetics and state that "these are the characteristics of the Turkish Nation."

Women are flower- like beings. What is the sense in causing them pain and suffering? Let them live beautifully in this world. Only then both Europe and the US would open their doors wide to Turkey and no longer support these villains of the PKK.

There is no difficulty in Islam: God wants it to be convenient as He emphasizes that in verses multiple times, and says that the Prophet Abraham’s (as) religion is easy. In another verse He says, “God desires ease for you; He does not desire difficulty for you.” (2/185) Islam is like a festival; it is a religion of joy. Things like hanging people, cutting them up, beating people, blasphemy, making women’s lives miserable do not exist in it. Islam considers women to be flowers.

The only fault of ISIS in the eyes of Europe is that they are Muslims and nothing else. I mean this reaction is not caused by their being terrorists, but by their being Muslims. That is because as we see, they are not concerned at all with the communist PKK. The PKK martyred tens of thousands of our people and they do not even care. They are trying to found a communist state in those lands and that does not concern any of them.

We are a modern, high quality nation of the Middle East. Those who attempt to destroy us would be attempting to destroy the world and this is impossible, by the will of God.

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.

Western countries were paying no mind to ISIS. But the minute ISIS attacked the PKK, Europe and the USA went mad over it. They were scared to death that ISIS would destroy the PKK. The shadow states of the world were horrified. This is the only issue. In other words, ISIS' only misdeed was to attack the PKK. ISIS have no other fault in their eyes.

Establishing a Ministry of Quality and Art is of the utmost importance; a product has no value if it has no artistic or high quality attributes. Both art and quality should be encouraged.

The Western countries are afraid of Turkey slipping into bigotry. If Turkey becomes modern, they will undoubtedly withdraw their support to PKK.

50% of the European youth uses antidepressants. A great majority of the people are unhappy and depressed.

Explaining life through random coincidences is the most illogical explanation. How could coincidences bring about pomegranates, oranges, lemons, olives and tangerines? How could Einstein, Newton come into being through coincidences? How could coincidences bring about lions, tigers, bees all of which are perfect beings?

The most important part in the struggle against terror organizations is to demoralize them. Humiliation is a way but proving the falsity of their ideology would be the most influential way. Explaining the falsity of their ideology, of their philosophy is the most influential method. You would thus dispirit and demoralize them completely, I mean both their muscle power and their mental power would thus be lost and they would be incapacitated.

For all the people across Europe, for people all around the world to be friends with us, before all else, for God to love us we need to become an amazing teacher of love. That is to say, we need to show an unprecedented personality. The world should watch us in awe. And we should be very, very modern.

Animosity against Israel is presented as if it is a merit, a sign of piety or superiority. Actually animosity against the People of the Book is atrocious. We love Jews, we love Christians. We are compassionate towards atheists as well.

The only weapon we have is our insistence on love that stems from faith and that is all. We need to be devoutly religious but also full of love. We need to be avoid being vindictive, we need to try to make peace between everyone and strive for everyone's well-being.
