Listening to music, taking photos, dancing, art, science, beauty, having fun; none of those are unlawful by religion.

Some people want to draw Turkish people into an environment removed from quality, joy and arts like Syria, Iraq. For them it’s all about remaining alive, they want to live like an organism. This is not the life God wants for us. Love, beauty, quality and joy are essential in life.

Some who claim that music and low-cut dresses are illegal according to religion in fact make music themselves, and live with women wearing décolleté. This is insincere.

Radicals are so predisposed to hate the arts, music and happiness that they cannot bring themselves to accept the fact that Islam champions these blessings. Radical men believe that they deserve freedom and having fun, but cannot accept that women have the same rights as well.

It is not right to advise 'not to remember God' at times when we have fun and enjoy ourselves. A religious person remembers God and speaks about God wherever he is or whatever he does.

Some people wrongly think that religion should be practiced later in life. On the contrary, religion should be practiced as soon as one attains the age of reason. My friends devoted their entire youth to God.

We are religious, devout people and we always talk about God everywhere we go.

There was a mistaken idea that religious people should not enjoy luxuries, or live beautiful lives. That was a plan to suffocate Muslims. We put an end to that.

In order for the nightclubs to be really enjoyable, ladies should feel completely safe, free and comfortable there.

Young girls –some with headscarves, some without- and young boys having fun together, dancing is great. It is good that young people are happy, vivacious.

As we dance and have fun, our hearts are always with God. It would be outrageous to suggest that God should be forgotten while having fun.

Due to my love for God, I deeply love every pious, pure woman I see because I see them as manifestations of God.

Mr. Trump should give priority to spirituality. He should carry out activities to strengthen the religiousness of the US. He should convene with Muslim religious scholars.

People have a wrong understanding of religion. They assume pious people become introverted and lose their joy. That is not being religious. One becomes lively and joyful with religion and faith in God. Believers are extraverted and full of life.

Bigots' life away from art, quality, entertainment and beauty causes Muslims to be oppressed even though they don't realise it.

Love, entertainment, beauty, friendship exist in Islam in its best form.

There is a false understanding that after becoming religious, a person needs to lose his joy of life, become dull and quiescent. Religion gives a person liveliness and vitality. A person becomes ten or a thousand times livelier than before with religion.

A person may have done many mistakes before he practices religion. It is not right to suffer due to these mistakes according to the Qur'an.

Before one becomes religious, commandments of the religion are known only in a blurred way. There is no sharpness of mind and consciousness.

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.

Entertainment, joy, happiness and every beauty are the rights of Muslims.

It’s good that Trump has the ideal of bringing back the old American dream, which means the US will be religious as it was before.

The religiousness of the American people is very nice. They have receded from their old moral values. Trump should try to build a religious America, if he can. Religiousness is a beauty and a blessing. Becoming religious once again would bring plenty and abundance to the American people.

A Muslim never pursues his personal interests; he gives for God’s approval.

People who lack love in their hearts and are distant to a quality lifestyle feel jealous of the beautiful lives of the devout.
