There is no moderate or immoderate Islam. Islam is Islam and that's it.

But foremost, I do not subscribe to the view that Islamic culture and democracy cannot be reconciled.

What should be targeted is a concept of organic, and not just mechanic, democracy that preserves the rule of law, separation of powers, and that is participatory and pluralistic.

A lasting solution to this problem will have an exceptionally positive influence foremost on the peoples of Palestine and Israel, as well as on the region and the international community.

The Muslim world and its subset the countries of the Middle East have been left behind in the marathon of political, economic and human development. For that, there is a tendency to blame others as the primary cause

Is Europe a home for an alliance of civilizations or is it a Christian club? If the former is true, then Turkey should be part of it.

The relations between Russia and Turkey entered into a really positive stage. I am sure that steps we both take will widen our cooperation.
