It is absolutely vital that Turkey becomes a country of art and aesthetics. We should show Europe that Turkey is a very modern country.

A lack of quality is widespread in the Middle East and the East. Let’s reverse the trend and make Turkey center of art and quality.

People want freedom, quality, high-life standards. It’s crucial to show that women are free, people are free, that there is quality.

The government shouldn't be worried about the pressure of the bigots. On the contrary, the government should be defenders of modernism, art, quality, joy, freedoms.

Happiness, joy, freedom, art, music should be everywhere in Turkey. Women should feel completely free and not worry about disrespect.

Our Prophet (pbuh) was the most modern person of his time. Modernism, art and quality are crucial parts of life.

The Islam of the companions is the true Islam. The mentality that opposes art, quality, beauty, freedom will be never successful.

In Heaven, there will be incredible music, breathtaking art, and exquisite tables. All these beauties are gifts for Muslims in this world, too. Muslims should be leaders in art, science, be very modern. They should enjoy beauties of life. Religion doesn't ban them from any of these.

There will be the most beautiful, the most glorious music in Heaven. If it was possible to listen to the music of Heaven in this world, no one would ever want to hear the music in this world again.

Even the most beautiful composition in this world, will sound dull and boring compared to the music in Heaven.

Some people are trying to make the government look like it is against the freedom of people. They are working in vain.

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.

There is a plan to push Muslims into radicalism, and then use radicalism as an excuse to kill Muslims and Christians in a horrific war. The only way to foil this plot is being very modern, enlightened and being friends with Christians.

Every aspect of the understanding of religion outside the Qur’an is horrible; laughing, dancing, painting, statues, music, women’s going out, children wearing shorts are all forbidden in their twisted minds. In some Islamic scholars perverse understanding, the penalty for shaving one’s beard or not performing daily prayers is death. None of those have any place in the Qur’an. The religion that they promote that has no place in the Qur’an and it turns this world into a living hell.

Europe is not wrong in rejecting a mentality that hates quality, art, women, music.

Orthodox, traditional Muslims are so convinced that women should not be free and that there should be no art, nothing beautiful, as soon as they see something pleasant, they immediately reject it.

Europe is not against Islam. Europe is against radicalism that promotes violence, misogyny and backwardness. Europe is right to be against radicals who hate the beauty of women, cleanliness, quality, art and music. Those radicals are also against Islam.

Music, art, dance etc., they are all allowed by Islam. Some circles limit the freedom of people for no reason. Let the people live comfortably in peace, with joy. Due to their self-made and unnecessary rules, they are turning life into a living hell. Without love, arts and music, life itself becomes hellish.

Let’s make sure with our intellectual efforts that British deep state has no longer any influence on Turkish politics.

Referendums are always won by a small margin, everywhere in the world. If the laws accept such results, then everyone should accept it, too.

EU doesn't accept Turkey but not because we are Muslims. Because they’re worried about the threat of radicalism.

The Qur’an clearly explains Prophet Jesus will return.

We will go through difficult times like in a stormy sea, but in the end it’ll all be good.

Mr. Putin is a good example with his modernism. He goes to church then goes and dances with youngsters, etc. This is a good model.

Stronger industry, lots of construction doesn't mean there is quality. China is doing the same thing, but mostly, without quality.
