Ece Üner has responded to Cübbeli Ahmet. The famous news anchor spoke harshly.
Cübbeli Ahmet, who claimed that mosques remain empty when Syrians leave, had said: "I am also saddened, the congregation will shrink. Turks don't come to the mosque! I had gone to the mosques in Fatih, the mosque was full at noon." It was a small mosque, but I looked and there were 3 rows of Syrians. Turks don't need paradise. They have sold their lives and property to hell. How do you know? Well, I look at the prayer and the congregation." he had stated.
"WELL, HE IS AN EDUCATED MAN"
Following these controversial remarks by Cübbeli Ahmet, the famous news anchor Ece Üner lashed out at him.
Üner said: "Well, he is an educated man. He cannot say, 'We have turned people away from religion. We have instrumentalized religion. Some of us attempted to trade in religion instead of being religious. That is why we drove them away from the mosque.' Instead, he says, 'Syrians will leave, the congregation will shrink.' The congregation is there, it is doing just fine."
