There is no violence in the Qur'an; the only condition war in which is considered acceptable in the Qur'an is defense. When a persecutor attacks, we defend ourselves. There is no persecution, no pressure in the Qur'an. You simply defend yourself when attacked by persecutors. The verse is explicit. God says; "There is no compulsion in religion." (Surat Al-Baqarah; 256) God also tells us to say; "O you disbelievers! You have your religion, I have my religion." ( Surat Al-Kafirun; 6) How do you come up with compulsion with these verses?

Irreligiousness brings about egoism; egoism brings about pain, and pain brings about desperation, so they end up writhing in pain.

Love is the greatest weapon in the world. Violence brings about violence but in love, the loved one would love you even more, and that makes you love even more. So you become friends, you become brothers and turn this world into a heaven on earth.

Love puts away terror, anarchy, egoism and stinginess.

I would never let a Muslim be killed. I would do anything to prevent murder. ISIS kills, and resorts to violence. We are against violence. But if you go and attempt to kill the one who resorts violence, you would be no different than they are. It is not acceptable.

Acceptance of the Truth only becomes possible after worldwide violence. Without that violence, the acceptance seems impossible. We see this in the Ad tribe and the Thamud tribe and all the other tribes. There has to be violence. People tend to leave this world behind when faced with violence and start thinking about the Hereafter.

Violence brings about violence. Only with love, mercy, friendship and brotherhood can stability and balance be attained in Libya.

Despite being Muslims, ISIS is on the wrong path. That is because they are using violence; violence has no place in Islam.

All troubles in the world stem from lovelessness. Lovelessness brings about lovelessness. Lovelessness brings about violence.

Violence brings about violence. As violence brings about violence, it also becomes a sort of training for violence. For instance Syria and Iraq became the schools of violence; there is an amazing foundation there. But in the system of the Mahdi, only compassion, mercy, love, friendship, brotherhood, peace and wisdom prevails. Eventually people will be obliged to approach to the system of the Mahdi.

When God's Name is not recited, that region, that city, that country would become barren. What comes in its place? Hunger and economic crisis. What comes in its place? Terror. Those two dangers. Is God's Name invoked in Greece? No. Is His Name invoked in other countries? For instance, is His Name invoked in the US? What happens then? Hunger comes. Hunger enwraps them all in those vast lands. Terror, meaning fear, comes following that.

It is not a skill to turn religion into something inextricable. This bigoted mentality is what makes these people, the great portion of Muslims, irreligious.

People's eyes cannot take it if various abnormal attitudes pile up one over the other, brain cannot handle that, cells cannot take it. I look at such people and see that their cells rise against these abnormalities. Their flesh becomes scourged and their glances become disconcerted. Their voices and their logics become distorted as well.

I look at people in the streets and see that their eyes are all empty. Why is that? It is because they have jealousy on one side, cruelty on the other; they have lovelessness on one side and fear from others on the other; they fail to submit to God on one side, and they have a competitive soul on the other.

The most beautiful solution against terror and anarchy is Islam as the Companions of our Prophet lived. This is the system that Christianity would be able live in comfort, this is the system that Judaism would be able to live in comfort.

Results can be attained not by executing the leader of the terrorists but with ideas and explanations.

Violence, cruelty, terror are not characteristics of a Muslim. A genuine Muslim would not have a way other than mercy and love.

Irreligiousness ruins people, it takes away happiness.

All the terrorist organizations are Darwinists and materialists. These are organizations formed as a result of the Darwinist materialist education. I mean these organizations originate from the Darwinist Materialist education. If Darwinism and materialism is annihilated so will these organizations.

The most perfect armament against terror is arming with science. I mean it is giving scientific response in schools and everywhere to the Marxist and Darwinist superstition which is the origin of terror. Without the intellectual defeat, armed struggle would not yield any result.

Lenin instructs communists such that they should have no compassion or conscience. This is the basic of the PKK terrorism.

When religiousness decreased in Europe, their artistic power has faded as well. They are unable to create those beautiful statues and paintings anymore.

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

If sincere people explained religion, people would have loved it and would be jubilant. Irreligion disturbs the mental health of people.

Jihad: "Jahd" means striving. These people, however, understand jihad as chopping people up. Instead of chopping up that person, would it not be better if you try to persuade that person, if you persuade that person with your ideas? When you chop that person up you would be annihilating that person, he would not have the opportunity to be a Muslim! Yet if you preach religion, if you tell them about God, they would come to believe.
