Turkey is 99% Muslim. Why are secularists so influential here?

Because simply not all muslims are very religious, some are only muslims by name just like there are many christians by name in Europe for example.And anyway, even many religious muslims can think that religion and politic should be always seperated.I am a christian and i am very happy that my country has secular constitution.It is a condition to freedom of faith and freedom of thoughts.
 
^^European rule under the dark ages of the church.. can hardly be compared to the enlightenment under the Muslim Empire-- the best thing for the Muslim world is to be united under one empire and govern by religious law... it was very successful for centuries. I have no reason to believe that it won't be when it is reestablished.. in the very least there will be justice for all.. Islamic law, doesn't interfere with business or economics so long as you walk in the light.. do your wheeling and dealings in an honorable manner!

peace!
 
I felt the 'prophesy point' made by a member was valid, and because other members asked for clarification as to what that prophesy is, I have left the relevant posts. However, I have deleted the posts that were going too far on a tangent (i.e. discussing the veracity of sources to do with those points), since they were steering the topic away from the article in the first post, and in some cases were insulting to other members.

All members are reminded to post in a respectful manner.

the hadith can be found in the following Islamic sources [Al-Hakim, Al-Mustadrak, vol. 4, p. 508. Also, see As-Silsilah as-Sahihah, vol. 1]

thanks!
 
Mean while, back at the ranch, when others were fighting about prophecy, :? the cow hands were discussing; :D

Maybe things like this help make them want secularism.

ISTANBUL, Turkey - Assailants tied up three people at a publishing house that distributes Bibles in Turkey and then slit their throats Wednesday, adding to a string of attacks apparently targeting the country's tiny Christian minority

if there were a Muslim rule in Turkey this wouldn't be happening.. everyone can see that though Turkey is 98% Muslim it is trying to skulk up to the European Union...The whole point of this post is though they are Muslim, they are not governing by Islamic law-- Killing minorities seems in concert with atrocities committed in the name of Byzantium not the Muslim empire..or do assailants in your book automatically mean Muslims?
peace!

Did this really happen? If it's true it's shocking. How can people murder other only because of printing a Bible....

How can a man open gun fire on 31 random people for attending class? Strange world with many unanswered questions!

peace!
 
Everyone: As sad as these murders are, please do not derail this thread's topic to discuss them. Instead make a separate thread.

I see Your point but that murder in Turkey seemed to have religious fundament and shooting in USA campus was act of a madman.
