In this election process, I wrote articles directly in today's political environment, in the context of our idea of civilization. We tried to stay away from a sharp language and approach that would upset and disturb people. This has been our main point of view ever since.
 
We are from the nation of Islam. We are trying to explain the idea of Islamic civilization. Due to our belief, we are in an effort to tell people directly or indirectly by using some of our criticism rights without hurting them.
 
Since our childhood, the environments we have been in have been very diverse, very different and, in a sense, colorful. We are the children of the era when the conflicts between the right and the left were experienced. Ideologies have always used sharp language to make themselves accepted by this nation, they turned into armed conflicts. A lot of people died from the tension between right and left. All of them were children of these lands.
 
Imperialism made good use of these occurrences. All ideological circles were under the influence. There was great suffering with psychological guidance. While this was happening, it caused the parties to be distanced from each other and turned into a polarity.
 
In fact, what should be emphasized is that the peoples, masses or parties that are instrumental in the interests of imperialism are not even aware that they are falling under the wheels of their machines. They are the victims of the alienation known as idols while pursuing an idealized alienation.
 
When we look at Turkey specifically, they are unaware of the impact and power of this dark, repulsive and divisive trap of the past decades that is so shocking and destructive.
 
In the conflicts between those who resisted American imperialism in the past and those who see themselves as the owners of these lands, we cannot ignore that those who are pro-American are also the children of these lands. No matter how one looks at it, all roads have been a process that facilitated the work of imperialism.
 
In this sense, neither the right is our right, nor the left is our left. It is obvious that these materialistic occurrences are against our civilization and against us. Even years later, the effects of this look still continue.
 
How can this nation be so hostile to each other, why is it so repulsive and alienating? If our main goal is Islam and our civilization, can't we provide a warmth that will enable people to get closer?
 
However, the owner of this pen was the target of both rightists and leftists in his youth. It enabled us to stay away from them and to mind our own business in the environment of thought that we belong to – I wish mercy to our pioneers.
 
The interesting and beautiful part of the job is that we are friends with the segments we are targeting. We did not experience the regret and embarrassment of the past days. But it is perhaps the most beautiful thing for us that the living wish for good luck after decades.
 
We are living today. Today will pass, what will happen tomorrow, what environment will it be like? These, if you have beauty and goodness, if you are strong and safe, similar situations will happen eventually.
 
There is no value in hurting people, breaking their hearts, and marginalizing them - and especially if we are Muslims, we should be more careful in representing Islam. If people are turning away from Islam and Muslims because of us, we need to think a lot about it.
 
We know that if we exist as the ummah of the Prophet of love and mercy, if we are true travelers of this path, we will open the doors of our hearts. Love and compassion bring people closer together.
 
These people are not enemies of each other. If we do not become the toys of imperialism, we will compete with each other and strive to be better.
 
In these last days, one must be more careful. The environment is as dirty as possible, tense, tiring and abrasive. We pray that you get away from this environment that darkens and oppresses the soul of man.
