It is not right to look at a bigot with hatred. Bigots are actually people who've developed a sickness over time. We see that this sickness progresses in time as people reinforce one another with this sickness. That is why we need to approach them reasonably with a kind, compassionate manner.

Bigotry, fanaticism is such a scourge on humanity. Fanaticism and misinterpretation of the Qur'an is what lies at the root of the troubles the whole Islamic world is now suffering from. They make havoc. These all stem from the conservative Orthodox understanding of Islam. There is such a scourge upon the world and Mahdi (pbuh) is the one who will save us all from this scourge.

The CHP (Republican People Party) should start a strong initiative against radicalism. Radicalism can only be annihilated through piety. It is not possible to remove radicalism with irreligiousness, with materialism and leftism. Religion would always be victorious and sweep over radicalism.

Radicalism is at one with lovelessness. There is no compassion, no love, no mercy in radicalism. There is jealousy, there is envy, there is rage, self-centeredness and conceit, there is a feeling of haughtiness in radicalism.

There is no sense of aesthetics and quality in a radical; he wouldn't understand those concepts anyway. A beautiful painting wouldn't have any impact on him, a beautiful statue, a beautiful melody wouldn't have any impact on him. This is not valid for all of them of course, but for a great many of them.

Ataturk really closed the door to bigotry and radicalism. Otherwise ISIS would be going rampant in these lands.

99 percent of Turkey is on the reasonable path Ataturk shown. This is how it had been ever since the Ottomans; Turks have never embraced radicalism.

The danger of fanaticism is a danger that concerns the whole world but the struggle against radicalism cannot be done with bullying. There is another option; a struggle with opinions that would yield results very easily.

You cannot see even one article from the radicals that talks about aesthetics, about love even for a single day. They do not talk about love not even for a day. Actually they find love difficult.

The owners of aesthetics and beauty prevail in the world. Those who love women would prevail in the world. Some people assume that very nice results could be attained with radicalism but the fact is that no result can ever be attained with radicalism.

Radicals cannot succeed in attaining quality and because they cannot attain quality, they try to put it out of sight.

The struggle against radicalism is given with the Qur’an.

We are spreading religiousness in Turkey but we will not allow radicalism.

The burden that bigotry and radicalism brings about is very weighty. It ruins the society, it ruins people; it makes countries totally ruined.

Islamophobia is formed because of radicalism. That is the doing of bigots. Without the system of the Mahdi, bigots would have erased Islam from the face of this world. The system of the Mahdi is the reason why Islam remained in this world. The system of the Mahdi is the reason why they fail to disintegrate Turkey. Or else, they were planning to raze Turkey to the ground.

There is no love in the way radicals talk; there is no mercy, no compassion, no friendship. There is no notion of unity and integrity. These are all against the Mahdi; they are all anti-Jesus Messiah. They all defer to communism and Darwinism. They defer to the PKK as well; in fact they are really very cowardly.

The vast majority of the Turkish people are Ataturkist, intellectual people who have progressive thoughts, who like freedoms, who understand Islam as it was in the time of the Companions, people who advocate modern Islam. All our youth are modern. Consequently it would not be possible to enforce bigoted, fanatical understanding of Islam in Turkey.

They have invented a new religion from made-up hadiths and they are calling it Islam. In fact the religion Qur’an preaches us is called Islam. A religion that consists of made-up hadiths cannot be called Islam. That is a polytheistic religion.

Radicals are different than Muslims. Those who ascribe partners to God and those Muslims who don’t are different. I am criticizing those who ascribe partners to God. I am criticizing those who became idolaters without being aware of it. I am criticizing the radicals. The ones who abide by the Qur’an are called Muslims.

According to the radical mindset, religion is a faith for the grave; it is a religion where death and darkness is experienced. In irreligiousness, there is music, there are paintings, there is fun, there is dance and there is life. In religion – according to their mindset- there is no music, no life, no fun. It is like they are buried alive. Everything is unlawful according to their mindset, everything is forbidden and there is no life! It is like the life of a man buried under asphalt.

Bigotry promises a horrible and dark life. When we ripped away this scourge, the bright, enlightened, free, joyous, beautiful aspect of religion appeared.

The life of bigots is full of blood, pus and horridness. There is no joy, no happiness and no life for them. There is only treachery, pretense and gossip in their lives. There is sedition and corruption and all sorts of filth in bigotry, in radicalism.

As we demonstrate the enlightened face of Islam, the bigots are trying to prevent this beauty in their own minds by crying out with all their might like the cries of bats in darkness. Struggle all you want, it is not possible for you to prevent this in the time of the Mahdi.

The bigots say that Islam is the religion of the grave. You live under the soil, you live in darkness in their world. And they say, “There is radiance in their world, there is light, there is music and there is art. There is life in their world, there is dance; such a religion is unacceptable. Religion is lived under the soil, it is lived through with torture. You live in blood and pus and that is what religion is,” they say. And some naive people believe in this. They thus surrender to satan unknowingly. We are spoiling this game and we will continue to do so!

Turkey is a sound and sturdy country. Our youth are sturdy, their education is perfect. Our people are very vigilant; Radicalism and bigotry is a laughing stock in Turkey. No one would ever give way to that.
