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.

It is an evil system to complicate religion to the point of being impracticable, and devastating religion by creating a population unable to live it. However, God offers us a straightforward religion through the Quran, a religion that can be lived by all the communities. Bigots make people abandon it and adopt a religious conception that is impracticable and hellish instead.

Satan wants to drown people in details in order to alienate them from prayer. Bigots complicate prayer by listing thousands of things that will render the prayer invalid; however, performing prayer is quite easy. That is why God did not go into detail in the Qur'an regarding prayer; He only mentions ruqu [bowing down], sujud [prostration] and qiyam [standing up]. Perform your prayer and leave: That is it.

They aim for a benumbed, insentient youth instead of an energetic, vigorous one. Through the traditionalist Orthodox Islamic mentality, they want people’s brains and souls to decay; they are corrupting their nature and trying to turn them into misogynists. They are destroying the [idea of] feminine beauty. And this is how they sneakily devastated the Middle East. People should not fall in to this trap.

One of the evil methods employed in the plan to devastate the Middle East is to eliminate the power of the mind by corrupting human nature and benumbing the mind through the traditionalist Orthodox Islamic conception. The minds of people are being ruined, are decaying, so to speak; the souls, the minds of people are decaying and you witness the misery and desolation this leads to.

The traditionalist Orthodox Islamic conception removes people’s vitality and paralyzes their minds. Societies that suffer constant oppression emerge as a result of this.

Through bigotry, satan has dealt a powerful blow that aims to destroy Islam. Under the influence of satan, bigots render prayer impracticable and ablution impossible to perform.

They can’t believe that women can be free or that people can be happy. God doesn't want difficulty for people, He wants freedom for them.

Arts, entertainment, beauty and music are not forbidden in Islam. They ruined the Islamic world by taking all the beauties away from Muslims.

In order to oppose the traditionalist system, one needs to be very brave. They isolate and oppress their opponents.

Bigotry renders life unlivable. The generations were raised to be bigots. They find it hard, odd, and baffling to lead modern, beautiful, cheerful, aesthetic, and high-quality lives. They will have to get over this.

Bigotry is a dark ideology. It suffocates people. People assume they should live in darkness. When they first see the light, they become dazzled and say "I cannot live in such brightness." But as they live, they will get used to it. In time, their eyes will get used to the brightness.

We are the pride, and the bright, modern face of Islam against the dark traditionalist Orthodox Islamic conception. We are a community that Muslims can show as an example with ease and a clear conscience.

God has made all commandments in the Qur'an explicit, everything is crystal clear. Islam does not include ambiguities.

There is neither neighborhood pressure in Islam, nor rules prescribed by the world. Rules people have invented take away the joy of life. Islam removes all the pressure of the streets or which customs enforce, and it gives utmost freedom to people.

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.

Our understanding of the high-spirited Islam is the Qur'an's way of being a Muslim. All beautiful things are a part of Islam.

Traditional Muslims want religion to be difficult and most are almost obsessive about it. They usually can’t see that the Qur’an is sufficient.

The human mind can’t work well under strain. That’s why God made religion easy. God wants people to be at ease.

One of the features of the Mahdi movement is that it will call people kindly to what is right and will make religion easier as it is the Qur’an.

Pious Jews are quite pleasant people. They love God dearly, have good morals, are honest, and devoted to God through a passionate love. How nice it is that they have been devoted to the Prophet Moses (pbuh), devoted the Torah for 3500 years.

Pious Jews are pleasant people. They have been devoted to the Prophet Moses (pbuh) for thousands of years. However, satan is trying to saw the seeds of animosity among believers.

The Quran introduces a guardianship system. Believers are obliged to watch over each other as if their own brothers.

It is the Darwinist materialist education system that forces young women [of terrorist PKK] who do not even know how to hold a gun to detonate bombs.

The Western countries are afraid of Turkey slipping into bigotry. If Turkey becomes modern, they will undoubtedly withdraw their support to PKK.
