Sadly Islam in Turkey nowadays is heavily influenced by Saudi traditions. Ever since the 80s they've pumped billions into Turkey in order to Arabize the country through Islam.
Look I don't mind our Turkish mild version of Islam (which has Tengrist elements in it). However seeing the disgusting state of Sunni Islam inside Turkey I must say that I don't want to be a part of it.
Islamists insult our founding father, our ancient pre-Islamic ancestors and hate the idea of Turkish nationism. Most of the Islamists I've met don't even call themselves Turk, they call themselves the grandchildren of the Ottomans.
How do you expect me to respect a group of people who disrespect Ataturk? Many of us Kemalists respect Fatih and Suleiman the Magnificent yet there are so many Islamists out there who swear at Ataturk and then they proceed to praise Abdulhammit...
Under a secular leader we defeated 6 nations in one war. Quickly paid off the debts of the Ottoman empire. Built many factories that kickstarted our economy. Greatly increased literacy rates. Built planes. Crushed a rebellion with incredible success.
Are these bad things?
As for your point about Islam being a medicine against gays and leftism.. Islam is supported by leftists in the west. When the military ruled over in Turkey the western leftists were crying about how the "evil Kemalists" were taking away the human rights of the Islamists and LGBT.
Islamists and leftists are two sides of the same coin. To us you are the same sh!t. Almost every week you Islamists rape kids in Turkey. Literally every time I check Turkish news I hear about kids who got abused in a Cemaat. You guys are just as disgusting as leftists. Admittedly though, you're probably even worse for stability.
According to recent polls only around 10% of people in Turkey have trust in Imams and other religious figures. Not a surprise.
Once you Islamists lose your control of Turkey we will finally be able to fully crush terrorism in the region. Erdoğan created a mess by allowing YPG to grow. Part of the reason for this is his desire to have shackles on the military.
Now from what I've gathered Erdoğan has lost most of his power and is now allied with his former enemies behind closed doors. He will be tolerated for a little longer before he gets removed. But first we will make sure he cleans his mess and takes the burden of it.
You Islamists sided with FETO and also made peace with PKK. We were always against this and in the end we were proven right. Please check your facts before you ever try to argue with me buddy.
It's funny how the western media portrayed them as the "Most effective fighters in Syria". Lol biggest lie I have ever heard. I think they're even worse than FSA without support. Literally the weakest group in Syria when they're without daddy America's air support.
