Mr. Tayyip protects religious people very well; he protects communities very well. He is on the rise at the moment as if he is flying. This is as a result of his compassion and love of Muslims. For example, he said, “I am asking our elder brother Sayyid Salih Ozcan to speak.” He spoke his name and he did this on purpose. Now this cannot be overlooked. It is a great strategy that he chose our elder brother Sayyid Salih Ozcan on purpose, and above all it demonstrates a very good moral value as a Muslim. Look he said, “I am giving Sayyid Salih Ozcan the floor.” What does this mean? Even a person with a feeling of hostility in his heart would leave logic aside as soon as he recognizes that compassion and respect. Love steps in. Love blinds the eye. With love, a person would not go into detail. He would commit his support with enthusiasm. Then say anything you want. Talk against him for as long as you like. Love is essential.
Therefore the current success of the government is based on its compassion for communities. It is based on that support. That brings goodness to them. Therefore his support for the system of the Mahdi and the Islamic Union as well as his submission to Allah and the Qur'an above all else makes Mr. Tayyip Erdogan and his government successful, insha’Allah.
