If we become a very modern country, a very enlightened country, if we attain the highest levels in the rights of women, if we become outstanding in arts, science, aesthetics and quality, we would become the strongest country in the world. Otherwise we would be a country that inevitably remains in the chain of Middle Eastern countries. Everyone would walk all over us and we would be devastated, may God forbid.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The solution to persecution is love, it is peace and rationalism, knowledge and science; the solution is the struggle against radicalism that would be given with the facts of the Qur'an. There might be some who feign ignorance right now, but in the very near future, they will all understand as the incidents that are taking place get even bigger. Write down what I have just said, you will see that things will happen exactly as said. Everything will happen exactly as said.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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].

The Islamic community has been devastated but the traditional orthodox section does not realize this. They believe they will come out of this situation by being even more bigoted, by improving the system that caused this mess in the first place. They want to wrap themselves up in an even more traditionalist orthodoxy, an even more terrifying mentality.

The presumed Islamic commandments such as 'women are evil, they shouldn't wear nice clothes, they shouldn't be allowed to go out' are [nothing but] the products of bigotry and they have no place in Islam.

Communication of Islam based on sincerity and conscience spreads like light everywhere. The dark spirit of bigotry, on the contrary, leads people to disbelief.

Some Muslims are oppressed due to disbelief, while others are so due to radicalism. The Mahdi will right these two wrongs.

The bigoted mindset is one that prohibits arts, beauty, music, freedom of women, science, the concept of quality; in short everything that is beautiful.

They pressure Muslims with non-existing commands in the Qur'an and make them mentally unhealthy and unable to live a life full of joy.

At a time when radicalism ran rampant, Ataturk was a perfect gentleman, combining the European culture with the Ottoman Culture. He was a role model for high quality.

Had people not distanced themselves from the Qur'an and had bigotry not existed, neither would radical organizations have emerged nor would Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria be in such conditions. Everywhere would be full of beauties.

Traditionalist, orthodox understanding of Islam and Darwinism are two basic factors that caused the collapse of the Ottomans.

Ataturk was an exemplary person with his modernity, smartness, courtesy and enlightened devoutness. It was bigotry that Ataturk was in opposition to.

Ataturk was a right-minded and courageous Ottoman lion. He was a religious person. His struggle has been against bigotry.

In bigotry, homes lack quality, their cars lack quality, their streets lack quality. An incomprehensible degeneracy pervades around them. The quality of the clothes goes bad, the quality of paintings, food and everything goes bad and becomes blunt. Bigotry advocates this bluntness, this crassness and this lack of quality and that is a grave danger. We need to be very cautious against that.
