They should build churches and synagogues as well. Those were all free to build in the time of our Prophet (saas). God commands Muslims to protect churches and synagogues, not to attack them.

Churches are the houses of God, synagogues are the houses of God and so are the mosques. Everyone can worship wherever they like. God rendered the whole world a place of worship for us.

There is no hatred for Jews and Christians in Islam. On the contrary, they are protected as the People of Book in the Qur'an. A Muslim cannot have any aversion neither to them, nor to their places of worship. God tells us in the Qur'an that Muslims may marry Jewish and Christian ladies; indeed, some of the wives of our Prophet (saas) were Jewish and Christian.

A Muslim would never burn down a church, on the contrary he would protect and support the church.

Protecting churches and synagogues is a provision stated in the Qur'an. Being anti-Jew or anti-Christian is not compatible with the Qur'an. We need to approach everyone with love and compassion. No one can know who deserves to enter paradise in the Sight of God.

It’s wrong that churches are being closed in Europe and USA. On the other hand, Christians should see that if they abandon the notion of the Trinity, Christianity will grow.

Our government should protect our Christian citizens. We should help them protect their churches and repair them if necessary.

Muslims would never burn down churches. Our brothers and sisters should not believe in the disinformation and the false reports about the Ikhwan.

Christianity is under threat across the world; they are being persecuted everywhere. The closure of churches must be prevented.

It is dreadful that there are no longer any Christians left in the Middle East. Churches are being closed throughout Europe. In order to solve these problems, Christians and Muslims must ally.

Muslims and Christians must ally as soon as possible in order to prevent the closure of churches.

In the Qur'an, God commands Muslims to protect the mosques, monasteries, synagogues and churches.

Communities visiting mosques, churches and synagogues would be revered if people possessed genuine compassion, love and affection.

In the Qur’an, God commands us to protect synagogues and gives us permission to marry Jewish women. He commands to protect and watch over the People of the Book. In accordance with the Qur’an, by defending inoffensive Jews and protecting synagogues, I am following the commands of God.

It is great that Mike Pence says the US will be a nation under God and that he brings the American dream to the agenda. The new US government can start by reopening the closed churches. The closing of synagogues and churches shouldn't be considered normal. Reopening places of worship will usher in blessings.

It's so fine that there are devout Orthodox, Jews and Muslims in Russia. It would be so fine to see synagogues and churches to be full of devout people.

Churches are closing one by one. Hence Muslims must watch over Christians. According to the Qur'an, churches and synagogues are entrusted to Muslims.

Safety precautions must be taken against attacks to synagogues and Jewish cemeteries in America and Europe. These attacks should not become common.

President Erdoğan is not against Jewish people; on the contrary, he has always approached Jews with love and compassion. He made sure that synagogues in Turkey were repaired and opened for prayer.

Special Operations teams should be supported very well. It would be very beneficial to increase their number to forty thousand in a very short time. The Special Operations teams can vanquish the PKK. Pitting novice soldiers against these scum is very wrong.

“Israel” is the name of a Prophet. One should not say “Damn Israel!”. The Qur’an addresses the Prophet Jacob as “Israel”. The name Israel is mentioned in the Qur’an and what are you saying? You are saying – may God forbid- ‘Damn Israel!’

Those who come to power democratically can only be overthrown with democratic means. Those who come to power with elections can only go with elections. If a government can easily be overthrown with a few tapes and a few rumors, with such threats it means there is no democracy.

The Prophet Moses (pbuh) is our prophet as well and so is the Prophet Abraham (pbuh). Some say “these are the Prophets of Jews and Jesus is the Prophet of Christians.” Actually they are all our prophets, they are all Prophets of Islam. They all are Muslims.

The birth of our Prophet (saas) is a feast for us, it is a celebration. He brought light to this world, he shone brightly in the world. May God be pleased with him. We are all very pleased with him; insha’Allah, may he be pleased with us in the Hereafter as well. Above all else is the approval of God of course, insha’Allah.

There is richness in unity. For instance, the European countries have united but because the bond they have between them is not a bond of faith, because it is not a bond of love, they are not successful. When the Islamic world unites, the bond they have between them will be a bond of love and there will be no borders, no visas, no passports and thus both trade and friendship will easily be established and sustained. There will be a sound, vivid, lively life based on love and generosity, far removed from selfishness and egoism.
