Intellect is a part of a good faith. Intellect is the light, the heart is the direction.

We need to acknowledge that there is a real issue with how the Scriptures are being interpreted. Whenever I am told that terrorists are not Muslim, I systematically reply that they actually are, and they cannot be marginalised, the same way they are marginalising other Muslim people. Scriptures are quoted even though their interpretations are twisted. In the face of misinterpretation the only way out would be using another interpretation of the Scriptures.

I am portrayed as a dangerous individual who can be fought thanks to their ideas.

We need more citizens that are committed and courageous.

We want to tell people how great Islam is yet we are not great Muslims.

Muslim societies must leave behind these dual aspects: secularism/Islamism.

The Turkish road is not my model because I am critical of the way you are dealing with freedom of expression, of how you are dealing with the treatment of minorities, and your economic vision.
