A coup is an insult to people that amounts to saying, ‘You can’t think properly, I’ll think for you.’
Things might escalate in the coming period but eventually Islamic moral values will reign and there will be absolute peace in the world.
This life is not for getting rich, or pursuing worldly goals. This life is to love and fear God.
There are no Muslim Brotherhood groups in Turkey. Such claims in the foreign media are inaccurate.
They seek to occupy Turkey, annex Istanbul, the Aegean and leave only a small part of Anatolia to our people. We won’t allow that.
The idea of a coup is based on intimidation. Our nation's bravery and fearless nature completely neutralised the attempted coup.
There is only one explanation of firing at civilians from tanks: This is the biggest treachery and ignominy in all of history.
A coup is an action that abolishes respect for humanity. One who advocates coups cannot advocate Islam. Democracy exists in Islam.
Secularism, democracy and freedom are the principles of Islam.
The right and left wing that are against the coup and violence in Turkey should come together in unity and act in alliance.
Today, all political parties have to be in alliance. The plotters of the coup are only a handful before the 82 million-strong Turkish people.
Turkish people are known with their faith in God. Takbir (praising God) is food for our souls. Hearts find peace by praising God.
Blood-shedders, warmongers cannot be the Mahdi or his followers. The Mahdi will not shed a single drop of blood.
This is not the time to see political differences. This is a time for the unity of all patriots, regardless of differences.
Democratic struggle; even with harshest words or opposition is acceptable. But firing at civilians can never be accepted.
Killing one person is like killing the whole world. A Muslim would never want to be the means for the killing of a single civilian.
A mentality set on martyring their own citizens, mothers, sisters, brothers is shocking. Orders to kill civilians can never be accepted.
It is important to respect the decisions of people. Turkey doesn't interfere with the elected leaders of any country; we expect the same respect.
Some Muslims are oppressed due to disbelief, while others are so due to radicalism. The Mahdi will right these two wrongs.
Let’s aim for a modern, peacemaking Turkey with refined qualities.
Avoiding hatred and a tone that would incite anger, pursuing a friendly policy with all countries, would be a proper barrier against plots hatched against Turkey.
