Religion cannot be spread with superstitions. Religion can only be spread with straightforward evidence. The Islamic World has turned into a living hell because of the understanding of religion as the superstitious scholars told.

An understanding of Islam full of love and affection, one that advocates freedom should be adopted against radicalism. Only then the world could be at ease.

No country in which radicalism rules can survive. Radicalism is the system of the antichrist (dajjal). Once radicalism infiltrates, everything would be ruined. And radicalism is like a drug. Once it starts from a point, it gradually drags the whole society into that trouble. For that reason we need to prevent radicalism right from the onset.

There is a demand for the Islamic Union all around the world but God blocks the way of all formations that slip towards radicalism in order to prevent that union to be in the form of radicalism. God advances all structures that are closed to radicalism.

When people are trained with Islam as lived in the time of Companions, with Islam as lived in the time of the Mahdi, not with radicalism, a breathtaking, helpful and good- natured people would be raised. That is why the system of the Mahdi is of such importance.

The souls of loveless people, of radical people are sick. They perceive light as darkness, darkness as something else. May God make them better.

Turkey is a sound and sturdy country. Our youth are sturdy, their education is perfect. Our people are very vigilant; Radicalism and bigotry is a laughing stock in Turkey. No one would ever give way to that.

Radicals have an insane constitution, they do not stop until they ruin themselves.

Radicals bring tactlessness and depravation to wherever they go.

The mistakes radicals make are causing trouble for the whole Islamic world.

Radicals are complicating religion in the name of piety and assume the character of idolatry.

Both Shia rigidity of certain Muslims and Sunni rigidity of certain Muslims stem from traditional Islamic sources which are known as reliable although they are infested with many superstitions.

The organizations like Al-Qaida take the commands of violence from superstitions embedded into the traditional Islamic sources.

The policy of AK Party giving freedom to religious people is nice but the policy of CHP putting a control mechanism on radicalism also ensures a balance. There is goodness in all of them.

Radicals, fanatics have rendered Muslims worthless. Actually even they see each other worthless and cheesy. They consider killing each other as normal as well. That is unbelievable. They have constituted a shoddy, vulgar, ignorant, ugly, repugnant group.

The essence of Islam is ultra-modern, the superstitions and life style of idolaters on the other hand are ultra-radical.

What does purification mean? There are some unnecessary redundancies; they are cleaned and thus purified. What would Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) be doing? He would be purifying. How would he do that? He would clear Muslims from the superstitions of radicals. He would clear the plots of the satan. What is left behind? Pure revelation.

People have an incredible tendency to believe in superstitions. That is really surprising. And some of them, even though they do not believe, they insistently pretend as if they do believe in them.

The prayers (salat) should be performed immaculately just like it is described in the Qur'an with great sincerity. There is nothing complex. You perform your prayers joyfully, lovingly and peacefully. Trying to complicate the prayers is a satanic behavior. Satan attempts to turn it into something complicated so that people abandon their prayers.

When Darwinism is taught as a scientific fact instead of superstition in the text books, the existence of Allah would be rejected –May Allah forbid- thus faith would be annihilated. We look at the biology text books and see that there is nothing against Darwinism. That is not acceptable. The invalidity of Darwinism should be explained with scientific evidences.

The superstitions told by bigots do not constitute the religion of Islam, they are the religion of idolatry.

In the Qur'an, Allah says that our religion is as easy as the religion of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh). Allah says; "Allah desires ease for you; He does not desire difficulty for you." Some people try to make religion difficult; they try to show things that are not in religion as if they are. Allah has made religion easy, He has relieved people of heavy loads and chains around them. Almighty Allah says this about our Prophet (saas) ".. those who follow the Messenger, the Unlettered Prophet, whom they find written down with them in the Torah and the Gospel, commanding them to do right and forbidding them to do wrong, making good things halal for them and bad things haram for them, relieving them of their heavy loads and the chains which were around them. "

When there is a weakness in faith, Allah scorches the world and does not give happiness. That was the reason for the collapse of the Ottomans, that was also the reason for the collapse of Seljuk Sultanate. When a bigoted structure develops, when a conservative structure develops, when arts, science, love decreases, when people become estranged from the spirit of the Qur'an, disasters assuredly follows.

Religion is a magnificent structure in which welfare, love, beauty, peace, goodness, forgiveness, democracy, freedom of thought and the most sophisticated, most beautiful aspects of arts and science are displayed. Some people ensnarl religion and alienate people from religion unnecessarily. That is the way they serve the antichrist (dajjal).

To criticize one's self and not claiming to be free of blame would make a Muslim adopt the character of a guide. A person's criticizing himself would make him wise and healthy. Exalting one's self would make one sick. It makes one crazy. When one criticizes himself, when one criticizes his lower self, he would be exalted; he would become wise and smart.
