I have remembered a question that I asked my deceased father. I asked my father one day.

I said, "Dad, are we Laz or Turkish?"

We are from Rize. Some say we are Laz and some say we are Turkish.

My father told me that he had asked his grandfather

He said, “Granddad, are we Laz or Turkish?"

My great-grandfather responded saying that;

Dear grandson, we're going to die tomorrow.

Allah is going to ask us that “Who is Your God?, Who is Your Prophet?, What is Your Religion?” There will be no question as “What is your nation?”

When you are asked those questions, say “All praise is due to Allah, I am Muslim” and pass.

Dear brothers and sisters, we are coming up against 3 threats now.

These are sectarianism, racism and terror.
