ATATURK=ATAKUFR
Kemalism/Kamalism = Kufr.
During the leadership of Mustafa Kemal due to the change in global politics, the politics of religion had changed in the Turkish Republic. Mustafa Kemal had been the applicator of the works on worship in the mother tongue (New Islamism=Kemalism) between the years from 1924 until 1934, hence after 1934 as a result of the adoption of the single party governing from important more modern western countries of the era such as Italy and Germany, the Turkish Republic had wrapped itself up with a more totalitarian structure. It has also intensified its works on transforming Kemalism into an ideology and relatively a religion alongside the publication restriction it has hindered different ideas and thoughts.
We could say Kemalism is the work of producing a form of religion or rather an Islam peculiar to the Turkish nation. With a more specific expression Kemalism is the process of “forming the new religion of the Turks” (Ducane Cundioglu, Turkce Kur’an ve Cumhuriyet Ideolojisi, 33)
Mete Tunçay’s formula for this particular change is “The New Islamism=Kemalism” (Hasan Huseyin Ceylan, Din Devlet Iliskileri, II, 154)
With this meaning Kemalism, has pushed aside the Orthodox Islam out of the borders of life and has tried to place it with the religious form of Kemalism along with an understanding of a new Islam shaped with secularism and nationalism. At the end of this time being as an official religion of the state, Kemalism has taken the place of Islam with a secular and national characteristic. Mustafa Kemal cared nothing about God; he was interested in himself and in Turkey. He hated God and made him responsible for Turkey's misfortune. It was God's tyrannical rule that paralyzed the hands of the Turk. But he knew that God was real to the Turkish peasant, while nationalism meant nothing. He decided, therefore, to drift God into his service as the publicity director of his national cause. Through God's aid, his people must cease to be Mohammedans and become Turks. Then, after God had served Mustafa Kemal's purpose, he could be discarded.(Emil Lengyel, Turkey, p. 134.1941, Random House)
Grey Wolf, Mustafa Kemal: An Intimate Study of a Dictator
H.C. Armstrong, 1934
He was drinking heavily. The drink stimulated him, gave him energy, but increased his irritability. Both in private and public he was sarcastic, brutal and abrupt. He flared up at the least criticism. He cut short all attempts to reason with him. He flew into a passion at the least opposition. He would neither confide in nor co-operate with anyone. When one politician gave him some harmless advice, he roughly told him to get out. When a venerable member of the Cabinet suggested that it was unseemly for Turkish ladies to dance in public, he threw a Koran at him and chased him out of his office with a stick.
p. 241:
"For five hundred years these rules and theories of an Arab sheik," he said, "and the interpretations of generations of lazy, good-for-nothing priests have decided the civil and the criminal law of Turkey."
"They had decided the form of the constitution, the details of the lives of each Turk, his food, his hours of rising and sleeping, the shape of his clothes, the routine of the midwife who produced his children, what he learnt in his schools, his customs, his thoughts, even his most intimate habits.
"Islam, this theology of an immoral Arab, is a dead thing." Possibly it might have suited tribes of nomads in the desert. It was no good for a modern progressive State.
"God's revelation!" There was no God. That was one of the chains by which the priests and bad rulers bound the people down.
"A ruler who needs religion to help him rule is a weakling. No weakling should rule.."And the priests! How he hated them. The lazy, unproductive priests who ate up the sustenance of the people. He would chase them out of their mosques and monasteries to work like men. Religion! He would tear religion from Turkey as one might tear the throttling ivy away to save a young tree.
p. 243:
Further, it was public knowledge that he was irreligious, broke all the rules of decency, and scoffed at sacred things. He had chased the Sheikh-ul-Islam, the High Priest of Islam, out of his office and thrown the Koran after him. He had forced the women in Angora to unveil. He had encouraged them to dance body close to body with accursed foreign men and Christians.
