A country in which women lack quality, could never attain quality and success. Such a country can never attain quality, can never be modern and European. If women in a country are not enlightened, free, happy and well-groomed, if they are not free in their joy, in their laughter, in sports, in their eating, etc., such a country can never be an enlightened country. Such a country would be dark and every country that becomes overcast would definitely be ruined. May God forbid.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If women are oppressed and persecuted, that country would certainly collapse: That would offend God. God would destroy the country in which His servants are persecuted.

Any country that fails to ensure the freedom of women would certainly be devastated. Let me say that much. There is a decision taken about this, this is the reward of it in the Sight of God and the reward of it in the world. Any system, any government, any state that is misogynistic, that suppresses and persecutes women is bound to collapse; they should know this much.

Let there be freedom, let there be democracy. Let everyone strive for that with all their might. That is because wisdom, the arts and science develops in a free environment. Under the pressure of a state, wisdom will be atrophied. People would not have power of understanding. There would be no artists, no scientists. Industry atrophies, people lose their eagerness to work.

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

The irreligious do not promote freedom. Islam promotes freedom. People had no liberties in the era of the Pharaoh and Nimrod, but they were fully at liberty in the time of the Messenger of God (pbuh). Both Jews and Christians were at liberty. Furthermore, they were treated with love, compassion and utmost care. They were under protection in every respect. However, the Pharaoh tyrannized over his people.

Islam promotes liberties to the utmost. There are only things that are lawful and unlawful. People are completely free within the boundaries of lawful and unlawful. In other words, social pressure has no place in Islam.

The rules of a society not abiding by the morality of the Qur'an are suffocating. Islam grants the greatest freedom to human beings.

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

Secularism, democracy and freedom are the principles of Islam.

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

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.

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.

"There is no compulsion in religion." People cannot be forced to live religion. It is illegal to force religion according to the Qur'an.

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.

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.

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.

There should be nothing to be called national interests. We need to strive for everyone's interests. Even if we endure difficulties, we need to strive for the happiness of others. That is what suits such a noble nation, such a noble state. Self-seeking and egotism are beneath us.
