Turkey should be a model country. They’ve been plotting to destroy Turkey for the past 200 years, particularly the British deep state. But why not help make it an ultra-modern,an exemplary country for the rest of the Islamic world, instead of seeking to destroy it? Turkey could do great services [for the world, if they helped make Turkey very modern].

It is important that sincere, honest, modern -thinking pious people are at the forefront in all aspects of life. It is because such people are a guarantees for everyone: Christians, Jews, atheists: Those people fear God and won’t do anything that is not in good conscience. This is a great guarantee for everyone.

If you give fanaticism an inch, it takes a mile. It is very dangerous. The state must adopt a determined policy to spread modern thinking, a modern state structure and a modern conception of art. In other words, one must live by a modern Islam. What does modern mean? Like in the time of the Companions.

Modernity, before all else, brings about sanity. In a bigoted system, the human mind cannot operate normally. In a bigoted environment people become half-insane. Look around and you will see that many of them are mentally unstable. In modern societies, the human mind operates sanely and rationally.

We need to be a very modern European country. This is something our government should emphasize the most. Without modernity, there would be no progress in science, in arts. Without modernity we would not have any military power. We would become a classical Middle Eastern country and collapse gradually.

The government should make Turkey modern. All the institutions of the state should be modernized. Efforts should be made to modernize our people. The buildings, life in general, the system, everything should be modernized. Otherwise there would be a grave danger.

The state should be looking out for the system of the Mahdi with all its might. That is because in the system of the Mahdi, there is no intervention to the state. The system of the Mahdi would not interfere in politics; that is because it has a feature that unites the Turkish world, and it is also a system against bigotry, a system that fully encourages modernity and is fundamentally against separation. That is absolutely ideal for the state.

A country in which women are not modern can never be modern. A country in which women are not comfortable and free can never be free. No one would ever laugh in a country in which women do not laugh. If women are not happy in a country, no one else can ever be happy.

Our Prophet (saas) was the most modern person of his time, the Prophet Abraham (pbuh) was the most modern person of his time. Some people imagine that struggling against modernity is a necessity of Islam. Satan deceives them and shows it as a wrongful path. Modernity is a blessing. Heaven is the most modern place the human mind can perceive of. Muslims should target modernity.

We need to be the most modern country in Europe. Ankara should be even better than Paris. Istanbul should be far more high quality than London. It should have incomparable quality. There should be decent, kind, companionable people of peace everywhere. Everyone, people from all walks of life, people from every political party should feel love for one another in coffeehouses and streets.

Had some bigots been given free reign, neither listening to music, nor sculptures, nor paintings, or freedom for ladies putting on make-up and going out would be left. These people are quite bloodthirsty. That is why Turkey should swiftly go towards a modern, religious line.

For all the people across Europe, for people all around the world to be friends with us, before all else, for God to love us we need to become an amazing teacher of love. That is to say, we need to show an unprecedented personality. The world should watch us in awe. And we should be very, very modern.

Many people were against our modernity but step by step, they've come to our modernity. That is a transitional stage. And now they will go through another stage. They will then come to a more modern line, to the real Islam as found in the Qur'an.

Turkey will be loved by the whole world when she achieves the ultra-modern, enlightened understanding of Islam as in the time of the Companions.

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.

People are fed up with bigotry. Stoning women to death, executing those who do not perform

We’re promoting the way of the Qur’an; the spirit of the Companions. It is modern, devout and compliant with human nature.

Bigots had caused a steel barrier to be built between Islam and the people. We crushed this set in the ideological sense. We eliminated the gloom of the traditionalist conception of Islam. Now modern, intellectual people have comprehended the real nature of Islam and they have widely embraced it. Our works have pulverized the steel wall between people and Islam.

The remedy for ISIS terror is the true Islam based on the Qur'an in which arts, beauty, modernity and refinement predominates.

The West seeks for and wishes to see a true modern conception of Islam. The British Deep State uses the absence of modernism as leverage against Muslims.

In an attempt to drive people away from Islam, they are trying to build a Muslim character that is introverted, not modern, one that is loveless and despotic.

Islam means modernity, high quality and love. Muslims are very well kept; they laugh and have fun to the fullest as they like. Those who claim otherwise are wrong.

Islamic Union will not be based on bigotry. An enlightened understanding of Islam based on modernity, high quality and arts will prevail.

Anyone who does not do what he does for God’s sake will inevitably be defeated. The important thing is God’s approval. The way will always be clear for anyone who seeks His approval. This is a secret and unknown force.

The suffering and horror in the world will keep on growing, right until the coming of the Mahdi is clear for all to see. There will be an unbelievable increase in pain and suffering everywhere, not just in the Islamic world in 2016 and 2017, and by 2018 there will literally be a hell on earth. But 2019, 2021 and 2023 will be years of salvation.
