Examples where a clip from a speech means the opposite once the whole is watched; each page places the clip next to the full recording.

The claim that he was "part of the coup project"

The evidence was a video cut down to under a minute; when the 4.5-minute original of the speech was published, most of those who had shared it corrected their view.

Unfounded

The claim of a "coup-loving foundation" and the Directorate General's examination

The complaint made to BİMER demanding the foundation's closure was left without result by the chief inspector of the Directorate General of Foundations, who examined the same video recording and wrote that it contained nothing constituting an offence.

Unfounded

The claim that "he hoped for deliverance from the coup"

Someone who hoped to gain from a coup does not say in the same speech that he too might go to prison. What was said that same night, three hours later and six days later is all on record.

Unfounded

The claim that he said "may it be blessed" about the coup

The opening sentence of the speech was taken, everything in between was thrown away, and the clip stops one step short of the sentence that refutes the claim. The words "may it be blessed" occur nowhere in it.

Unfounded

The "he knew about the coup in advance" claim

A political assessment made on 1 July 2016 was presented as though it had been made one day before the coup; yet the same observation had been voiced since 10 February 2016.

Unfounded

The Claim that He "Supported America in the Afrin Operation"

A single sentence was cut out of a twelve-minute speech made on 19 January 2018, before the operation had even begun; the speech as a whole is not support for America but a warning against it.

Distorted

The Distortion of the "His Mother's Knee" Remark

A few sentences cut from a lesson of 29 April 2011 were served up in 2018 as though they were a new speech; what was being explained was the ruling on 'awrah, agreed upon by all four schools of law.

Out of context

The "He Called the People Who Took to the Streets on 15 July Murderers" Claim

In the full recording the word "murderer" was said not about those who took to the streets, but about those who beheaded the privates brought to the bridge after being told "there is a drill".

Out of context

The "He Knew About the Coup in Advance" Claim: How the Date of the Speech Was Changed

The speech was made on Friday 1 July 2016; the date given in the claim falls on a Thursday, and for twenty-two years the exegesis lesson has been held on a Friday.

Unfounded

Was the Phrase "His Pen Has Been Broken" an Insult to the President?

The sentence that was cut out was not a wish but a warning describing what others were doing. The chief inspector of the Directorate General of Foundations wrote that it contained no insult, and on 10 January 2019 the court returned an acquittal.

Unfounded

Cutting a Sentence in the Middle: How Are Cropped Videos Produced?

The words do not change, the recording does: a three-to-five-second excerpt, a date shifted, an addressee replaced. This is the common ground of the pages under this heading.

The "He Used the Prophet for His Own Benefit" Claim

Of the twenty-minute statement made on 10 April 2016 in front of the conference whose hall had been cancelled two days beforehand, only the dream passage was clipped out; the cancellation itself was never discussed.

Out of context

The "They Act According to Dreams" Claim

The one who says that a dream is not acted upon is Kuytul himself: what was related on 10 April 2016 was not a ruling but glad tidings given to a tense crowd.

Unfounded

The "LGBT Supporter" Claim

A sentence describing who might have taken part in a protest was presented as approval of the views of those who did. In his reply Kuytul repeated that atheism is unbelief and that LGBT is forbidden.

Unfounded

The claim about the remark "go ahead and shoot down Russia's plane"

The sentence was uttered before the plane crisis and did not mean "you cannot shoot it down"; in Kuytul's own explanation what is being discussed is not capability but the consequences of shooting it down.

Out of context

The "Pro-Russian" Claim

Three or four seconds were cut out of a long answer; the sentence "we would all fight against Russia together" comes immediately after the point of the cut.

Distorted

The claim that the speeches complained of constituted an offence

Following the complaints of the summer of 2016 the original recordings were examined; the report stated that nothing constituting an offence had been found in the video recording, and one complainant withdrew his application.

Unfounded

He Knew About the Coup a Day in Advance / He Threatened Erdoğan

His speech of 1 July was clipped and circulated by pro-government news sites — a-haber chief among them — and by troll accounts, together with claims that he had known about the coup a day in advance and that he had threatened President Erdoğan. In reality it was an analysis made for an entirely different purpose and about other events, and a sincere warning to the President and those around him.

Out of context

Did Alparslan Kuytul congratulate the coup?

The unedited video, set against the cropped clips in circulation claiming that Alparslan Kuytul congratulated the coup on the night of 15 July.
