Freemasonry has surprisingly ancient origins. Even on 12-thousand-year-old reliefs, Masonic symbols can be found. This is really surprising.

True Freemasonry is an ancient institute going back thousands of years. It believes in God and has an open-minded mentality that respects ideas, faiths and values women. True Freemasonry doesn't recognize or take seriously those small, atheistic groups that formed by themselves and claim to be atheist Masons.

The main principle of Freemasonry is freedom of thought, respect for ideas, peace, friendship and brotherhood. Yet not every Mason can match that level of refinement. Surely there can be ignorant people among Masons that don't respect ladies and all humans in general, or who have no respect for art or refinement.

Göbeklitepe was a Masonic temple. Amazingly, Freemasonry existed even then.

Atheistic Freemasons and those who join Freemasonry to pursue material goals actually have nothing to do with Freemasonry. Right now, atheism is on the decline in Freemasonry and its influence is weakening.

I have never approved atheistic Freemasonry and always made my intellectual stance against it very clear.

The water cup symbol is found in inscriptions that are tens of thousands of years old, in the Bible, in Freemasonry and in Surah Yusuf in the Qur’an.

A water cup is a significant Masonic symbol that is found thousand-year-old inscriptions and wall pictures. It refers to the age of Aquarius. Ancient civilizations also mentioned that the salvation of the humankind would take place in the age of Aquarius. We live in the age of Aquarius right now.

Our intellectual efforts against atheist Freemasonry will continue. We are forever friends and allies with believing Masons.

The PKK’s ideology will be destroyed when Darwinism is destroyed. The destruction of Darwinism will be a harsh intellectual blow to the atheist system in the world.

The ancient scriptures and archeological findings prove that Freemasonry goes back as far as 12,000 years ago.

Both in Gobekli Tepe and the remains on Mount Nemrut, there are plenty of Masonic symbols. Gobekli Tepe was a Masonic temple.

Göbekli Tepe is a typical Masonic temple. The T-shaped stones, figures on the reliefs are all Masonic.

Believers should respect and feel compassion for atheists. Atheists are honestly admitting that they cannot believe. They don't lie.

Religion is the basis of family and moral values. There are atheists with good morals but their morality is also based on religion.

Friends should be chosen based on their love of God, fear of God and sincerity. And a believer can be friends with an atheist too, as long as the atheist is respectful and loving.

Atheists do not conceal their opinions; they honestly reveal what they think. It would be wrong to approach them mercilessly.

Many religious Freemasons worked in the building of the Masjid of the Prophet Solomon (pbuh). These freemasons worked very meticulously.

Bigots are driving people away from religion with rules that are not in the Qur'an. For example, there is no headscarf in the Qur'an. But ladies are supposed to wear hijab only if they feel unsafe, and only until the danger is gone.

In the Qur'an, ladies are not commanded to wear a headscarf. They are advised to wear hijab only temporarily to protect themselves, if the situation requires it.

Shia, Sunni, Wahhabi and other sects, they are all Muslims. They all believe in the same God, abide by the same Book, love the same Prophet. Yet satan wants animosity and hatred to exist between Muslims.

It’s important to remember and praise God everywhere. For example, you can go to a restaurant and look at the menu and say ‘God is creating so many blessings’.

Turkey, Russia and Iran should form a powerful, solid bloc. We should also help Armenia and not be spectators to their isolation in a faraway land. Azerbaijan is very dear to us. Let's help them solve the conflict with Armenia and build an alliance of friendship in the region.

Many people only rarely hear about God's name. Therefore, reminding people of God, even with one sentence, will make them happy, inspired.

Both Russians and Iranians are great people, with humble characters. The British deep state is discriminating against Russia. Let’s be good friends with them.
