If you exert pressure, people would feel abased. You would make people who normally would not consume alcohol start consuming alcohol, you would cause people who would normally perform their prayers, stand apart from prayers; things that would not normally happen would start to happen. I mean oppression would disrupt a person’s balance.

Let everyone live as ever they like, as ever they desire. There should be no interference on Internet, or on Facebook, on Skype. People’s religion or ideas should not be interfered. Let everyone be free. Religion would prosper very easily in such an environment.

God wants us to be free. God wants us to live like we are in the Heaven. “Why should God punish you if you are thankful and have faith?” says God. But in Buddhist belief, in some ancient belief systems ordeals and self-inflicted pain are considered as a way to get close to God.

Those on the side of the Mahdi (pbuh) would always talk about stopping the bloodshed, about love, compassion, freedom, peace, science, arts and aesthetics.

Targeting the happiness of people is the characteristic of the system of the Mahdi. The system of the Mahdi is not oppressive, it would interfere with anyone else's faith or opinion. Everyone will be free. A very devout center will present love to everyone.

Freedom and peace is the command of the Qur'an. It is a blessing Allah has given us, it is a characteristic of the Heaven. A Muslim would always want freedom and peace anyway.

The system of the Mahdi is not oppressive, I mean some people would be performing their prayers and some won't in the system of the Mahdi. Some would not be covering their heads, some will wear low neck clothes, some will wear hijab but everyone will be happy. Everyone will be free.

We cannot impose our understanding of morality to others, we cannot interfere anyone’s beliefs.

We like a lively Turkey. Our greatest aspiration is for youngsters to be very free, cheerful and well-groomed.

It is a beauty for youngsters to be free in their beliefs. No one is obliged to accept any idea, let everyone be free.

The best thing to do is to voice ideas without giving rise to an environment of conflict.

All kinds of protests can be held. In fact such acts would be nice in respect of freedoms. But the incidents taking place all over Turkey is something else. We are of course considering those well intentioned young girls and young boys free of these. We are sending our love to them.

The concept of secularity exists in the complete sense in the Qur'an. Secularity as described in the Qur'an should be put into practice. Everyone should be utmost free in their beliefs. The essence is not to intervene in anyone's beliefs. One cannot interfere in the beliefs of an irreligious person, or a religious one, or a mason or a communist or anyone else for that matter. They all are first class citizens.

There should not be any intervention on people's attire. Everyone is free to wear whatever they like, what others wear is of no one's concern. We should do something about the ignorance of people not about their clothing. I mean we should strive to put an end to ignorance.

Freedom of speech is for expressing ideas, not for cursing.

Secularity is an assurance, it is tranquility, it is the protection of religious and irreligious ones. There is secularity in the Qur'an.

Islam is the religion that teaches people laicism. The most beautiful description of laicism is in the Qur'an.

Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is the one who will implement secularity. He is the one who will show compassion and love to everyone.

People are implementing secularity as if it is irreligiousness. And thus religious people are being oppressed. However, if secularity is abolished, an inconceivable ignominy, incomprehensible pain and oppression will start to appear. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is the one who will establish that balance.

Secularity is in the structure of the system of the Mahdi.

A secular, democratic system will come into existence properly, insha’Allah. The time of oppression, the period of violence will come to an end. Insha’Allah.

Secularism doesn’t mean silencing religion. It doesn’t mean using religion either. It means living religion sincerely. If a politician wants to talk about God as he feels, he should be able to do so.

It is not possible to procure religiousness through governments; that can only be made possible with the system of the Mahdi. The system, the spirit that would come about in religiousness is love. I mean the system of the Mahdi brings about a lot of love, compassion, mercy, understanding, tolerance, sweetness, broadness of perspective, arts and science, it would bring about social justice; none of which can be attained through impositions. In the system of the Mahdi there is no place for impositions.

A high quality person would not say “wow” and believe in the first lie he/she sees without looking into it, without making a thorough research about it. If one believes in everything he/she hears saying “wow”, that means that person lacks quality.

You will see in a short while that Turkish language will become an official language all over the world. Because it is the language of Mahdi (pbuh) the whole world will learn to speak Turkish Insha’Allah.
