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.

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.

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.

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

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

My new book about the ordeal of the Rohingya people is out and will be available in English soon. Rohingyas are great people. They suffered a lot. We are sending our deepest regards to them.

There are some people that feel jealous of how clean, refined, elegant, sophisticated, happy we are. Their jealousy is in vain.

Some people rendered the Quran impossible to practice. They spread Islamophobia. In many parts of the world, people have become afraid of and hateful towards Islam and Muslims. The reason behind this is the traditionalist Orthodox Islamic conception. We will eliminate this conception through knowledge and the truths of the Quran.

Music is a vital blessing of life. The traditionalist Orthodox Islamic conception forbids music. It forbids everything that is beautiful. Why are you doing this? Where is the harm in music, where do you come up with such an idea? No such thing is mentioned in the verses of the Quran. Why do you fabricate superstitions?

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.

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.

Some of my friends wear jilbab, some others wear revealing clothes. Also there are others wearing neither, but others. I have respect and love for all of them.

It’s a blessing from God that my articles are published in the most popular newspapers around the world.

While we’ve talked and written about it for months the world almost didn't pay any attention to the persecution of the Rohingyas.

My books that banish radicalism, that sincerely explain faith, intellectually help save people from the effect of the Antichrist.

Some foreign papers claim that I’m an anti-Semite. It’s against the Qur’an to be an anti-Semite. I’m the one who defends religious Jews. During those days when anti-Israeli sentiment was the highest in Turkey, I was the only one who said that the two countries should be friends. I always say Muslims should approach Christians and Jews with compassion. This open display of friendliness is unparalleled among Muslims.

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.

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 must become a policy of state. Unless Turkey becomes a modern country it will always be the target of various stratagems and people will try to destroy it. The most vitally important thing is to build a modern Turkey.

Our body cells catching atoms one by one, and getting the iron, zinc, and calcium they need just at the right amount is a fact of belief by its own.

Being raped does not disgrace women. They should not feel awful or guilty. They are still pure in our eyes.

So long as the Darwinist education system exists, women murders will continue. Because the Darwinist philosophy belittles women. It takes away the love towards God, compassion, and fondness in people. On the other hand, the people with faith hold women in high regard. And this will happen in the era of the system of the Mahdi.
