Quote

The West is not the only different world, the only different civilization or form of society that Muslims have encountered.

Yasin Aktay · Have we now taken the knowledge and art of the West?

No one is blamed for another's sin or condemned to pay a penalty for it.

Yasin Aktay · The veil that falls between truth and the eye is lifted by the sacrifice

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?

The Islamic world is a reaction by Muslims to fragmentation and the helplessness arising from it, and a conceptual refuge they have produced to take shelter in.

Yasin Aktay · From Gaziantep: where is the Islamic world headed?

Evil is never a destiny; it is always a choice that demands responsibility.

Yasin Aktay · The Last Dictator

However heavy the oppression, when there is a will to resist it, God's way does not change and His promise does not fail.

Yasin Aktay · Syria on the way to becoming a "homeland" for all Syrians

The East was not discovered by the West; it was rather invented, even fabricated.

Yasin Aktay · Rethinking Occidentalism from the perspective of decolonization at Siirt University: overcoming the West or being imprisoned by it?

We have broken away from some traditions, but we have not yet been able to create new traditions and values suited to them.

Yasin Aktay · Do we know what we are debating in the Istanbul Convention?

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

To be able to become free, a person must first see that he is not free. To be saved from servitude to other servants, he must become aware of the servitude he is performing.

Yasin Aktay · The hands that opened and wrote the "Red Gate" of freedom

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

When a war stops achieving its declared goals and begins to make them impossible, it ceases to be a strategic instrument and turns into an addiction.

Yasin Aktay · Is the war over, did Iran lose? Did Netanyahu lose?
