Those type of Turks are not really secularists but fraudsters considering this https://www.danielpipes.org/comments/153726
Although I'm not claiming there aren't genuinely secular people there. The country is in a difficult tug of war between radical Islamists and pseudo-secularists.
I also disagree with Daniel Pipes attributing their actions to Muhammed.
You think I don't know the Turks. I have Turkish neighbors and friends. All we have been talking about recently are elections and the divide between secular and religious Turks.
These Kemalists can't even get along with other Turks who support Erdogan. There is a fierce rivalry between both groups.
With the recent hate campaign launched by secular Turks against Arabs, Afghans and Pakistanis it isn't very difficult to suspect a hate crime. The vicious hatred is deep. These people consider immigrants as subhumans and intellectually inferior. They don't even hide their thoughts and feelings.
