Our young viewers are very cultured, vivacious, enlightened. We all respect all their ideas, we love them all.

A lack of love forces young people to put up an act and keeps them from being themselves and being sincere. In sincere love, there can be no acting or pretending.

There is no command in the Qur'an that says women without a headscarf will go to hell. This is a superstition that arose due to misinformation.

In order for the nightclubs to be really enjoyable, ladies should feel completely safe, free and comfortable there.

Love and true happiness can be achieved only with faith of God, love of God, fear of God. A true believer will always feel like he is already in Heaven.

As we dance and have fun, our hearts are always with God. It would be outrageous to suggest that God should be forgotten while having fun.

Young people should be educated based on their talents.

Turkish young people today are level-headed, pious but against bigotry. This is very good.

Sport strengthens the body. Professionals should encourage and help young people into sports.

I respect Muslim ladies and their choices to wear revealing clothes. However, it would not be right to post their pictures in revealing clothes and write a Qur’anic verse underneath that picture.

Being religious does not mean being stern and serious. On the contrary, religion brings quality, fun, happiness and beauty to life.

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.

There is no headscarf in Surah Nur . Surah Ahzab mentions the necessity of hijab when there is a threat to the safety of ladies.

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.

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.

God’s order in the Qur’an about ladies attire is not the headscarf. God advises ladies to wear hijab if they feel unsafe; and ladies are to decide that when it is necessary.

President Erdogan is a modern person and embraces everyone regardless of them being modern or conservative or regardless of their attire. He stands up for everyone.

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.

Turks don't want to live by the mentality of a couple of misogynistic, anti-modernism, anti-art people. They want modernism and joy.

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

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.

Ladies should be treated equally and with respect, no matter what they wear, be it headscarves, or modern, revealing clothes.

It is not right to advise 'not to remember God' at times when we have fun and enjoy ourselves. A religious person remembers God and speaks about God wherever he is or whatever he does.

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.

Listening to music, taking photos, dancing, art, science, beauty, having fun; none of those are unlawful by religion.
