Citizenship, Tolerance and Hate Speech Against Christians

They tell you, “Whoever harms a dhimmi…”

There are no dhimmis— you have citizens.

What era are you living in, talking about dhimmis and all that, or whether it is permissible to pray for mercy or not?

Is it permissible to tell someone, “Happy New Year”?

If the imam himself is not convinced that it is permissible, for example, to pray for mercy on a Christian, then how can he convey a tolerant message and a message—a message of peace? Today, even on social media, citizens also have a major role.

Today, many citizens do not like getting into debates with people and just keep coming across, I mean, hearing something that is completely illogical, and allow someone to spread online the idea that mercy is limited, so I want, I want to narrow it down so I can get my share of it.

I do not want to pray for mercy on so- and- so, or pray for mercy on a Christian, as though the Lord of the Worlds’ mercy were narrow and restricted, and they fear that if they pray for mercy on a Christian, it will be taken from their share and come back on them.

Some people hold these ideas and believe in them, and they are out in society, talking about them on social media.

There will be harsh measures, there will be no tolerance.

Universities, there will be no tolerance for any case involving a university professor, teacher, imam, or anyone using social media to spread this—spread this hatred.

Today, many people write on social media and consider it a normal expression.

If you're an extremist, if you hold certain beliefs and are convinced by them, go be with your God.

With your God. He will initially be engaged in dialogue.

One day, there will be dialogue. A key, important part is awareness.

A key part is awareness. Awareness and dialogue, and mosque imams should present a tolerant message.

Teachers. University professors, and the vast majority of them are moderate people and tolerant and understanding, understanding. Today.

Today, we are in a country with diversity, cultural diversity, with diversity of religion, with diversity.

People should all respect one another. Today, we're not in a place where people come and say, "I swear, this is how he wants to defend himself," so he says Whoever harms a protected non- Muslim…

There is no such status. You have citizens.

What era do you live in, talking about protected status and whether one may pray for the dead or tell someone, “Happy holidays.”

I mean, this cleric is deluded and misunderstands life.

And it is not in keeping with any human values.

Therefore, firmness is necessary. Firmness is necessary.

We cannot leave these people until they are convinced.

Awareness, dialogue, and firmness. We cannot wait for him to be convinced after he has destroyed the whole society.

We cannot wait either. Citizens must have a role too, citizens who understand this issue must condemn it wherever they see it. They must stand against it, okay?

As a society, we want this to end. There is no longer room for us to tolerate a teacher teaching hatred or... an imam spreading hatred, or... an engineer, a doctor, or anyone... or an ordinary citizen on social media spreading hatred.

There will be administrative measures and legal measures against them.
