I agree with u that turkey have majority of muslims(wat u say...90% or more) but after WW1(the decline of ottoman empire), turks declare their state as a secular country.

my typo mistake

but Islam is Secular...thus Turky is Secular since it began!!! thats way before the first world war.

Islam was the orignal word for Secular!

at the time the west used to pray to the bones of their saints for cure the muslims had secular systems such as hospitals, at the time when science was satan islam endorsed it and reinvented science into what it is today. do you forget that the ottoman army was recruited from christians??


thus Turky has always bin a Islamic State akistanFlag:

secularism Show phonetics
noun
the belief that religion should not be involved with the ordinary social and political activities of a country
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp...71094&dict=CALD


this is what Islam sugests! this is what Sharia Law IS...although alot of the stuff is invented by mullahs the original Sharia law is exactly this..we can see an example of the real sharia law in the days when we ruled cardoba..."the city of light"

Turkey is and always will be a Muslim country. Political situations change all the time. A long time ago it was a sultanate, then it became a secular state and perhaps in the future it will become an Islamic state as a lot of Turkish people are finding their roots again.

Bangladesh is a Muslim country, the people are generally religious but the constituiton is almost secular.

 

[forummurat]

Turkey is a muslim country ofcourse but
Goverment (i meant STATE) is secular (that is un-islamic) since Atatürk unfortunately

Do you consider it a bad thing?

 

[Flintlock]

Turkey is a secular democratic republic, according to its constitution.
