Quote

A perceived sense of power can very easily lead a person into heedlessness and error.

Yasin Aktay · The Sheikh of Love Melayê Cizîrî Symposium in Cizre and Barzani's participation

Many signs have appeared that we are on the threshold of a new global order.

Yasin Aktay · Turkey on the threshold of a new global order: a rising power in multi-layered crises

A person or a group is not wronged because he is not given more than equality.

Yasin Aktay · In Syria no one has the right to ask for more than equality

One of the liveliest fields to which anyone who wants to understand the relationship between religion and society in Turkey must look is Ramadan.

Yasin Aktay · The sociology of a changing Turkey in the mirror of Ramadan

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

Undoubtedly Akif too made mistakes, but even dwelling on these mistakes has qualities valuable enough to hold up a mirror to ourselves.

Yasin Aktay · The last hearth smoking over my homeland, before it goes out!

A person's creed and faith determine both his morality and his way of conducting himself on earth.

Yasin Aktay · Between power, rote and truth in historiography, our rote is too asymmetrical, Nuray Mert

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?

In Islam, the lawful and the forbidden, as the criterion of good and evil, are in themselves the foundation of morality.

Yasin Aktay · Can there be no morality in politics?

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

Ultimately, caring about the plight of those who are unable to defend their rights, of people who have truly suffered oppression and been victimized and left destitute, is one of the most basic conditions of being human.

Yasin Aktay · Who cares about refugees and their children?

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
