“The next time you come to TürkiyeIf they want, let them arrest me, put me in jail, that we go to court, that we testify. There is no problem. But I didn’t want to experience this this week. As long as this incident is the order of the day, as long as everyone wants me to die, as long as everyone wants me to be fired, I don’t want my handcuffed photos to be shared on the internet. I don’t want to make them happy. I don’t want them to say, ‘Did you see that, look what the pagan has become‘. I will not give them that pleasure,” Tema said, adding that she could come to Turkey within four or five months.
“Whatever happens then. The incident will have cooled down and no one will care. But I will not let myself be defeated for these guys in this matter. There is no Justice, there is no law, unfortunately there is no secularism…Everything is on paper. “I will not allow myself to be defeated by your order and your system.”
Tema gave his opinion on sharia and criticized the Turkish opposition parties
“There is no sound from the opposition parties. I am defending secularism and the Republic against a man who says that Sharia must come to this country. “I am defending this country,” Tema said and also issued a warning.
Tema was recently invited to the Yer6 Film YouTube channel and participated in a Sharia debate with social media phenomenon Asrin Tok. After the program, Tema shared the death threats he received from radical circles and received an avalanche of support on social media.

Tema, who shared Telegram messages from unidentified people on her tolerance who seek forms of violence when they cannot respond. They have already started to organize themselves,” Tema said.
“Although I do not speak a quarter of what I know, men dream of destroying them. If we can speak without censorshipthey will establish a court of inquisition.” Tema also added: “The clan of the man who propagandizes sharia in violation of the constitution feels comfortable, and because I defend secularism and the republic“They are carrying out an operation on the day of the festival with a thousand four-armed men.”
Tema also said: “Go read the book you believe in instead of trying to darken my life. Instead of stopping me, then refute hadith books like ‘Buhari’,” Tema commented. “I have limited myself to reading passages of the book that you consider indisputably authentic without adding or adapting a single word. If it is so difficult face your beliefs“You should at least respect those who did it, not hate them.”
In the program, Tema used examples from Sahih al-Bujârî, a collection of hadiths, one of the basic texts of orthodox Sunni Islam, in his arguments against Tok, who argued that Turkey should be governed by religious norms.
Following the broadcast of the program on Yer6, Aslan Değirmenci, Digital Media Coordinator of the Presidential Communication Directorate, made a statement on his X account on Sunday evening: “A investigation against the person named Diamond Tema, who insulted our Prophet, for the crimes of insulting a part of the public and insulting religious values regulated in paragraphs 216/2 and 3 of the Turkish Penal Code” and stated that the ban had been requested of access to the program.
