Almighty God says, "Truly, man is unbridled, seeing himself as self-sufficient." What does seeing himself as self-sufficient mean? He sees himself as perfect. For instance, if you criticize him somehow, he instantly lashes out because he caught that disease.
The best attitude that can be adopted against egocentricity and haughtiness is to be submissive towards God, to put trust in God, to be patient and humble and to avoid being egocentric. The shortest remedy to that in the Qur'an is self-criticism. One should criticize himself both while he is alone and while he is in the company of others.

If a person is very egocentric, if he likes himself a lot, if he has an extreme air of haughtiness, all his body becomes egocentric. The whole body becomes his ego. His whole body becomes sick. I mean he becomes insane. That is what happened to Pharaoh, to Nimrod. They lost their sanity. When that is the case, satan settles in their body. They become unable to act rationally and in a balanced manner. They lose the ability to be reasonable.

A honest, loving, affectionate gaze is nourishment for a Muslim. This beauty is also mentioned in Heaven. There is a reference to ladies whose eyes are turned only towards their spouses, ladies looking at their spouses with passionate eyes. Their gazes to their spouses is the first priority, God drew attention to in the Qur'an.

Islam means love, compassion, peace, quality, beauty, democracy, deep thinking, arts and science. It is all kinds of beauty. But there is no such understanding in bigotry. There is only cruelty in bigotry. They turn the world into a living hell for yourself and then try to turn it into a living hell for others as well.

The traditional orthodox system is a disastrous and awful system and it causes hatred for Muslims all over the world. That hatred is increasing gradually and because of those traditional Orthodox people who call themselves Muslims, the extreme right is getting stronger in Europe. They are harming themselves and Islam in the process and they're also hurting all inoffensive people.

The state should not leave the youth to their own devices. The PKK doesn't do leave them to their own devices: They educate and raise consciousness among them in their own ways. They educate them with a Marxist consciousness, a communist way of thinking, with a terrorist, Stalinist mindset. There is no response against that in the curriculum of the state. When that's the case they are making headway unilaterally.

There should be a strong cultural struggle against terror and a strong struggle to equip our youth with a national conscience. Before all else there should be courses on national consciousness, courses three times a week on national consciousness. Courses on topics such as what is communism, what is Marxism, how can a struggle be given, what is terrorism? What are the wrongful aspects of Darwinism and materialism? These should be taught.

An incomprehensible courage, an incomprehensible boldness should be shown against terror and a comeuppance that our enemies would never expect should be given. You should make it felt that you are insane about that. If you give a calm and languid struggle, they would continue to martyr our soldiers and police officers. But once you start pushing back firmly, they start begging.

It is not acceptable to follow a calm, moderate policy against the PKK. A determined policy within the mainframe of the law should be followed; that is because martyrs are saintly. If we are giving martyrs every single day, that is defiance against us.

Look at the attention they pay to this terror and violence, look at the effort they are showing. Look at the effort they make for bloodshed. Had they given the same effort to love, this world would turn into a Heaven on earth very shortly. But of course, God should be loved. God would not turn this world into a Heaven without the love He demands. Loving God, fearing God is essential.

Everything will be beautiful. King Messiah - Moschiah, meaning “Shiloh” foretold in the Torah some 3,500 years ago, will actually be instrumental in the salvation of the world. We understand that we come to his time from all the portents, from the heavenly and earthly portents. The blood that is being shed is one of the portents of the appearance of Moschiah.

Armageddon is one of the latest, greatest portents of the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). We might watch a slowed down Armageddon, or an expedited one. But right now Armageddon is going on in the related region anyway.

Once the Islamic world has a leader, terror and anarchy will stop on that day and hour. Wars will stop, disasters will stop, separation will stop, disintegration will stop. Everything will be solved fundamentally.

Islam is a system that stops massacres; it is a system that brings love. If there is a massacre going on somewhere that is because Islam is not being practiced there, because there is no Islamic Union. Would this terror, this anarchy, be possible if Muslims had a leader? No.

Hypocrites have the ferociousness of animals. For instance their getting angry, their lack of control, their lack of wisdom is insane and even beyond that of animals. They are ferocious. God says that ", even further astray".

Muslims should not support hypocrites and sick people. They should certainly support sincere people. They should do so even if doesn't serve their own interests.

The morality demonstrated in the Qur'an is the most superior, the most profound morality. The most beautiful form of life in which a deepest wisdom would come about.

Unbelievers and hypocrites demonstrate herding behavior, just like the animals. They act jointly. Just like reindeers, bison herds, unbelievers behave in herds as well. When they see a danger coming, they attack like a bison herd. Unbelievers behave in herds like that as well.

Muslims should be very perceptive, very foresighted and very wise, they should be vigilant; apathy would do them no good. Water sleeps but the hypocrites never rest. That disease might develop any moment. Muslims might explain to them the truth in all their honesty but they ridicule them inside and don't even listen to them.

Sometimes the acts of Muslim might look very much like the acts of a hypocrite but that doesn't make him a hypocrite, it only means that he caught a disease. When you save him from that disease, he would go on as a Muslim. But when you apply the same treatment to the hypocrite - there is a grave danger here - the hypocrite might appear as if he is saved as well, but he continues his ways underhandedly.
