Why is Turkey so loved in Muslim world?

[FullMetalJacket]

Turks are really good people. All the ones I've met are cool. Also to add, the ones I've met look the least bit muslim, in fact some of them were atheists.

Isn't this obvious? bashing Israel will make everyone popular among Arabs(not only)

HAHAHA....Bashing Israel is the easiest and shortest way to get Arabs hearts. Now, we are in hell because of those loud mouths who are perfect at empty loud slogans but sucks when the actions start.

Because they are part of NATO

That's a very good reason to hate any country in my humble opinion.

Because turkey is the most westernized and tolerant Muslim country.

Westernization can be bad and good. The bad outweighs the good in my view. Extreme capitalism, hedonism and materialism is not what humanity should be striving for.

I saw recent polls which stated that Turkey is the most loved nations out of many Muslim countries in the Arab world.

I just want to know that, we all know how Israel is hated in the Arab world and for the right reasons. But why is Turkey, a country which recognized Turkey right away, more loved than say Iran and Pakistan which risked their existence for the Arab people by not recognizing Israel (Iran, Pakistan) and fighting side by side with you (Arab-Israeli war where Pakistan was involved, and what Iran is doing to this day).

Because the Turks have soft power, a tolerant society, freedom of speech, democratic institutions, and did i mention lots and lots of SOFT POWER???? Not to mention they don't have corrupt leaders, things blowing up here and there, people getting beheaded, load shedding.


That's what makes Turkey standout of all Middle Eastern as well as Muslim countries. Turkey is like an oasis in the middle of a turbulent desert. They have all of the basic necessities that majority of people in ME and Muslim countries don't have access to.

Yeah, they're not perfect but compared to many of the countries in their region they are far better on many standards.

[livingdead]

Its only OP who loves not all muslims.

Many reasons but when Zionists Neo-cons have started to hate Turkey, it means they are on the correct path now.

Turkey has a long way to go yet but it has finally turned the corner, taking power away from the military and facing up to the Zionist entity. Eventually it will leave Nato when the time is right.

How do you get 100 Americans into one box of Donuts?

In 1258 AD, abbasid capital of Baghdad had been razed and the office of the khalifa of islam taken over by the turks.

Many of the traumatised escapees carried with them vivid memories of turkic destruction.

You meant Hulagu, grandson of Genghis Khan. Baghdad was razed by Mongol army in 1258.

Takeover of Caliphate was in 1517, when Ottomans annexed Mamelouk Sultanate by riding into Cairo.

Few reasons in my opinion:

Seat of Islamic Caliph for 400+ years
Great Ottoman History of ruling different region of Muslims & Christians for centuries with great ability
Resurgence of Islam again in 21st century
wonderful economic achievements in short span of tie
Erdogan their PM is most loved Muslim leader in the world
Ability to reach and help the needy Muslims from Somalia to Burma
Always ready to help around the world in natural calamity
Most Powerful armed forces in Muslim world

Because we have very tolerant people to every society , because we never forget anyone who helps us and try to help 10X .

Because Turkey is a stable, democratic, secular and liberal state with a strong sense of Nationalism and is generally at peace with its neighbors. It has a strong military force, a growing economy, educated population, and tries to remain neutral without taking sides in any conflicts.

Iran and Pakistan are totally the opposite.

Both nations are unstable, have a sham democracy, have infused hardline Islam into their constitution, are uber conservative, and are not at peace with their neighbors.

Turkey raised its prestige by remaining neutral in Arab-Israel conflicts and thus could be used to arbiter the conflict. Pakistan and Iran by directly getting involved in the conflict made their clout moot.
