Those who lie in God’s name made it impossible to live by religion. Most of them do not practice their own lies and those who do live in pain.

Jokes should always be about honoring people. A joke that makes people uncomfortable is not a joke.

Some people believe that they need to behave arrogantly in order to prevent being crushed when they see an arrogant person. Actually arrogance is something that humiliates and disgraces that person. Some people believe that they need to behave arrogantly in order to prevent being crushed when they see an arrogant person. In high-schools and social environments many people gather around an arrogant person even though they all hate that person. That is why the others falsely believe that being arrogant is important and precious. Actually arrogance is something that humiliates and disgraces that person. An arrogant person is half-insane. That is because without religion people fail to make correct evaluations and define weird criteria so they start to make zig zags. God shows us the importance of religion once more. A person who approaches matters with the morality of the Qur’an would understand the matters precisely.

Satan wants to complicate religion. In fact God deemed religion easy. In the Qur’an, God says : “God desires ease for you; He does not desire difficulty for you.” (Surat al-Baqara, 185) “We will ease you to the Easy Way.” (Surat al-A’la, 8) “He (God) has selected you and not placed any constraint upon you in the religion — the religion of your forefather Ibrahim.” (Surat al-Hajj, 78)

Claiming that it is not possible to have fun and entertainment in an environment in which the Qur’an and religion is discussed would mean taking Islam out of a wide expanse of life. The Qur’an is everywhere in Anatolia, they are dancing halay and have their weddings in houses where there are copies of the Qur’an. Women and men of Black Sea play horon together. They have the Qur’an with them as well. In the Southeast of Turkey, women dance halay together with men. They too have the Qur’an. God’s name is mentioned and verses are read, the Prophets are talked about in djemevi in which women and men whirl together. Do they think all those should be banned as well? Since such a thing would not be acceptable, it is important to create an environment in which people will be able live according to their thoughts and their faiths comfortably.

Making a joke is not something easy. It requires intelligence, care and will-power. The jokes most people make generally aim to offend and humiliate the other party. These cannot be regarded as jokes. Such a language would be impertinent. Behaviors aimed to nourish one’s own arrogance and disgrace the other side are unacceptable.

Religion brings freedom to people. Some people got into a panic when they saw that religion brings freedom. Actually, religion is the system that brings the highest level of freedom to this world.

Religion would not destroy one's life. Religion gives joy to life. When people are religious they become lively, joyous and full of life. Since the traditionalist understanding of Islam preaches the opposite of this, people regard being religious as being introverted and as forfeiting life. When that is the case, they wait to get older to start practicing religion. They think; ‘When I get older I will not enjoy life anyway, so I won’t be losing anything while practicing religion.” Actually religion is practiced both while young and while old. Delaying the practice of religion to one’s old age is a delusion caused by the traditionalist understanding of Islam.

In the subconscious of some people, there is a flawed logic which states that one should endure pain for religion, that people should not laugh, should not have fun and that otherwise it would not be possible to go to Heaven. According to this mentality, the flawed mindset claiming that ‘religion should be inextricably difficult for people to advance well in religion,’ prevails among them. In fact, Islam always brings the freedom of Heaven. All true religions, including the religion the Prophet Abraham brought, the one the Prophet Solomon brought and the religion our Prophet (saas) brought bring the spirit, the beauty, the freedom, the quality and the joy of Heaven. The hypocritical systems on the other hand bring the dilemma of hell, the fruitlessness and the torment of hell. With the Qur’an, Our Prophet (saas) brought utmost freedom and preached this to people. God deemed the freedoms people want in their hearts lawful with the Qur’an. He removed all the pressures on people. Commands bringing freedoms came one after the other with the Qur’an. God removed the heavy chains on people. As the freedoms enjoyed by the believers increased, the hypocrites got jealous and imagined that they had thus attained an advantage in front of the public. They tried to influence people by saying ‘we are more conservative, they are (the prophets and the companions) are living by religion easier and are changing our religion.” All the hypocrites talk about is their criticisms about how the Prophet lived religion. They state that they do not trust the Prophet in every speech they make. They regard every command about the freedoms God revealed to our Prophet with suspicion. Those hypocrites with that treacherous and ignoble mentality became stronger after our Prophet (saas) passed away and created the foundation of the Orthodox Islamic understanding. They added their own horrifying interpretations that humiliate women and claim that women are satanic and should be beaten as if they were in Islam. Muslims that came afterwards claimed that false, fabricated interpretations unknowingly as if they were the commands of God. We will insha’Allah correct this error that reached today from those days by preaching the true Islam as explained in the Qur’an.

It is not acceptable to participate in the discourses carried out with a hypocritical mindset by those who use satirical language fueled by rage and anger towards religion. If there is someone who does that unwittingly, you warn such a person with kind words and say; “what you are doing does not comply with the Qur’an,” and that person would then regret doing so and would not do it again, insha’Allah.

A person who is trying to humiliate someone by being sarcastic would actually humiliate himself.

A truly sincere person has a soul. A person who has a soul is created with faith in heart; that person would find religion no matter what.

The natural weaknesses of human beings should not be used to make jokes.

There can be no joke regarding religious issues. A Muslim is obliged to reflect on his state at death bed and his state in the Hereafter.

Muslims are meticulous and reverent on topics related to religion and faith. Making jokes on religious topics is not proper.

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

Religion and sacred values can never be a matter of mockery. People can make jokes on ordinary daily issues, but we do not want anyone making jokes about religion. I mean making jokes in matters that would offend 90 percent of the country is not acceptable.

Making jokes and speaking in a mocking tone is not acceptable while talking about God and religion. Religion cannot be made a topic of entertainment.

It is a great blessing for us that God granted us the opportunity to defend Islam based on the Qur’an

Turkey and Iran have signed beneficial commercial agreements. Let us carry out our trading relations with Iran and Russia with our own currency.

Some people generally are harsh and rude towards their closest ones. This is a result of the dajjali system teaching lovelessness to the world. The system of the dajjal causes people to suffer in the darkness of lovelessness. This will be removed with the light of the Qur’an.

The conscience is God’s inspiration to the soul. God inspires everyone to follow the right and avoid the wrong. One who follows this inspiration is conscientious.

The inner self is a mechanism that works for the interests of the body. When it gets angry, it tends to get out of control and it wants to be selfish when its interests are concerned.

Misogyny is very strong in the philosophy of homosexuality. As homosexuality has gained strength in the world, there had been increase in misogyny.

We see that most people who criticize us have subconsciously come to accept the true Islam based on the Qur’an as we are practicing. God is making the real Islam prevail throughout the world.
