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.

When the Qur'an commands "do not go near to fornication" (Surat al-Isra, 32) this verse forbids sexual relations which are unlawful.

Homosexuality is a disgusting perversion that is completely against the human nature. God has rendered women lawful for men through marriage. This is what God granted as beautiful and a blessing.

God has created women as pure as divine light, as befitting of human nature. Take women lawfully in marriage. Once you marry a woman, you will be together forever, even in the afterlife. Homosexuality is forever unlawful. Men having homosexual relations with other men instead of pure, beautiful women, is a horrible and disgusting deed.

Women should look attractive, well-groomed, charming yet be highly virtuous. Looking attractive is not unlawful. What is unlawful is unchastity.

Homosexual relations will forever be deemed unlawful. It has been unlawful since the beginning of the world and will remain so till eternity. God never approves such foul behavior.

Islam religion was revealed to eliminate terrorism. The duty of Islam, the Quran is to eliminate terrorism. This is why God sent the prophets; this is why He sent down the Quran. And in the era that it was revealed, Islam eliminated the terrorism in that region. Again, it will be Islam that will eliminate the terrorism in this century.

The religion of Islam is the mind of the world. If the world loses its mind, it will go crazy. There can be no world without Islam. Islam is the divine light, the sense of serenity for this world. Almighty God granted the greatest blessing by sending Islam.

They covered Islam with a dirty sackcloth. What people see right now is that filth. The superstitions fabricated in the name of Islam are causing great troubles for the whole world. It was satan who covered Islam, and we will be the ones who will uncover it and bring forth the true Islam. The true Islam will introduce people love and compassion.

Islam religion was assassinated, so to speak. A conspiracy was organized and Islam was covered with a dirty veil. We will lift off that dirty veil and throw it aside. The essence of Islam will arise.

In the guardianship system that Islam brings, poor and needy will be taken care of, orphans will be cherished. There will be no poverty, only happiness. In this guardianship system, no one will expect ‘thank you’s. Because God is the owner of everything.

Communism claims to provide social justice with restraint, yet in Islam justice, equality is ensured wholeheartedly and willingly.

Mourning was practiced by ancient Summerians, Akkadians, Hittites, Egyptians and other idol-worshiping tribes; it is forbidden in the Quran through a large number of verses and hadiths. It completely contradicts putting trust in God.

They think that it is heroic to complicate Islam to the point of being impracticable. They want plenty of things to be rendered unlawful. Yet they don’t even refrain from committing the deeds declared unlawful by themselves. They say, "Otherwise everything would become lawful". That is the way Islam is; everything is lawful. Unlawful deeds are in the few. Such compulsion has no place in Islam. Prayers are quite easy to perform as well. Bigots are devastating the religion by complicating it.

Since they don’t abide by the Qur’an, they form four different sets of what is lawful and unlawful, that is to say sects, and then ostracize each other. Religion is one, not four.

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.

Turkey should be a country in which people from all walks of life can live altogether in peace.

The way to gridlock coups is modernism, high-quailty, arts and all kinds of freedom.

Rendering judgment in the name of God and inventing new lawful and unlawful acts in the name of God means ascribing partners to God and that is why bigots are also idolaters.

Since we abide by the Qur'an and are scrupulous about what is lawful and what is not, we are the enlightened bright face of Islam.

We are a modern, secular, enlightened, democratic community that takes everything beautiful as a basis, that demands what is elegant and high-quality, that are keen on what is lawful and what is not.

Four different schools of Islam make contradictory statements re lawful and unlawful. One religious scholar opposes the other. Islam is one and exists in the Qur'an.

Sufferings, problems, hardships are all temporary. Ultimately, the world will become a beautiful place. In heaven, believers will live peacefully in harmony as brothers and sisters.
