Quote

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 suffering of the oppressed is accepted; but the laughter of the oppressed is not tolerated.

Yasin Aktay · Ishmaelite lessons on the sacrifice

Islam condemns people's boasting of superiority over one another on account of characteristics they were born with, that is, to which they contributed nothing.

Yasin Aktay · Muslims have their own solutions to racism; they see racism not as a right but as a deviation

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?

It is, of course, a sociological rule: attacks awaken group identity and nourish and reinforce the spirit of solidarity and asabiyya.

Yasin Aktay · Balfour and the abolition of the Caliphate, or the founding of Israel and the awakening of the idea of Islamic unity

There is a great difference, which cannot be removed under any circumstances, between reading a text with belief and reading it without belief.

Yasin Aktay · If every translation is a distortion

In the language of war, it is "civilian losses"; in human language, it is the systematic annihilation of defenseless lives.

Yasin Aktay · The ceasefire has a name, yet it keeps burning Gaza

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

Legitimacy is related not to the use of force but to being accepted.

Yasin Aktay · Will Israel be tried in Istanbul?

Goodness is contagious, kindness is contagious, compassion is contagious… But evil is contagious too, rudeness is contagious, violence is contagious, and unfortunately the contagiousness of evil is faster than that of goodness.

Yasin Aktay · Violence at school: a symptom of our social malaise

Even when we recite the Surah al-Fatiha alone in our prayers, we address God not as "I" but as "we".

Yasin Aktay · Islamic unity in the context of Gaza and the caliphate remembered anew

Let us nevertheless not darken our hope and will, and let us keep saying: the outlaw will not rule the world.

Yasin Aktay · Normalization with Israel is a way of whitewashing crimes against humanity
