 Coming back to the original topic .... (Sorry I was away, and the reference to my business partner caught my eye)

Quoting AlphaF

 

Charlotte is talking through her head....There is only one Islam, and what that is -  is clearly defined in Kuran. What does not fit the Koran´s description of Islam, is not islam at all.

 

Terms like modern Islam or modern islamists  (Islamicists ?)  are  merely figments of Western imagination.

 

 

 Obviously all my Turkish friends who use phrases like "neo-muslimaným" (I am a neo-muslim) or "müsliman-light" (diet-muslim) to describe the way they practice their faith are talking through their heads, as is an anthropologist commentator who reports about their views in society, rather than denying their existence.

Then i can say they are Deist, believing in the existing of God but not belong to any proper religion...

Ha ha 

That is the right description for Islam in Turkey. 

It is basically the result of being a bridge between two different culture, between two different religions.

And actually that´s something I´ve always admired about Turkey, being that "bridge" makes it a very interesting country that´s both European and Asian or neither. It was fascinating to see covered girls walking ahnd in hand with girlas in mini skirts, observing how traditional and modern lifestyle coexist. Just as modern architecture sinks into the domes of mosques and historical sights. A wonderful clash taking its beauty from balance rather than struggle

being a "Deist" would also mean that they believe that God does not really intervene in human affairs...that there is really no divine revelation but rather interpretations made by other human beings.
