“You cannot claim to be civilized and be governed by religious rules at the same time; if one exists, the other does not! Religious rules has no place in the definition of civilization, because a civilized country is one where people are free, able to speak freely, dress freely, and criticize freely. No country where religious rules prevail can speak of freedom or civilization! A country that does not prioritize human reason over so-called supernatural powers is a failed country that has not yet established a civilization and has not yet evolved!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan
