Kemalism and idiolising him in Turkey is the sole reason why Turkey has been in the dark ages for many decades. As A1kaid has written, it is beyond loving him. His statues in every single school and of course his picture in every single school room. Whenever a person starts critizing some part of his policies (like banning azan in Arabic etc) they get bombarded with insults, as we have experienced several times in this forum. And those people who say that Turkey today is the most powerful muslim country, tell me, when did Turkey get this position? It was definitely not during the times of Ataturks party (CHP) or others. Turkey tripled its economy, boosted infrastructure, universities, hospitals, and overall the country, During an islamist party, the AKP.
Especially those people who call him the single savior of our country, what were the rest of commanders and leaders and soldiers functions i ask you. Kemal was just one of 5 commanders during the war of independence the others were Fevzi Çakmak, Kâzım Karabekir, Ali Fuat Cebesoy and İsmet İnönü. Yes, he played a very vital role, but the rest were also heroes.
But what happened after we beat the European powers? We implemented the exact same mentality even worse repressing Muslims in a country whose population consists of 99% Muslims. Hagia Sophia was turned into Museum by Kemal, The Azan in arabic was banned by him etc. As i said many other times, if those who defend Kemal has things they want to discuss about, do it with manners and respect. Don't come here with insults and other form of curses.
