Quote

Islamism means, above all, being able to think together with the Muslims of the world, having shared concerns and goals.

Yasin Aktay · The search for a "just global order" in Pakistan

A sacrificial animal sent to the camps of Arakan is not merely an aid package; it is a hand of brotherhood extended to forgotten people.

Yasin Aktay · The civilization carried by the sacrifice: from Turkey to the oppressed regions of the world

Conflicts loaded with an existential and metaphysical meaning are harder to end.

Yasin Aktay · Israel's theological obsessions and the commentators who attach these obsessions to Israel and drag the world into catastrophe

Undoubtedly, throughout history the Islamic world has encountered very different civilizations, cultures and societies, and just as it gave them much, it has also taken much from them.

Yasin Aktay · D. Mehmet Doğan and "The Betrayal of Westernization"

Without conscience, without compassion, without responsibility, what law could protect woman from man, child from cruel parent, woman from woman, the young from the old, the worker from the employer?

Yasin Aktay · Laws, their interpretations, applications and effects

The universality of Islam is a moral call grounded in the ontological equality of human beings.

Yasin Aktay · Westernist universalism works by rendering its own historical locality invisible

Criticism is a right; but belittling society and insulting the faith of millions of people is not freedom of expression.

Yasin Aktay · Ramadan at the heart of education: the school meeting life

A person can more easily give up his own life, but being tested through the one he loves is the hardest of trials.

Yasin Aktay · Satan is in torment indeed

Even under the harshest conditions of despotism, it is not possible to establish absolute control over popular rumours about what is happening.

Yasin Aktay · If loyalty to history is not shown, truth takes on a form that will astonish humanity

No liberating idea that heals the heart can come from books that can exist only where there is prohibition.

Yasin Aktay · The 57th Damascus International Book Fair: a threshold where "we write history… we read history"

Societies sometimes speak not with long speeches but with short answers.

Yasin Aktay · Public opinion in the shadow of war: what are the peoples of Turkey and America saying?

Freedom is a great value whose worth is understood very well when great prices have been paid for it.

Yasin Aktay · What does everyone expect from the new Syria and its leader?
