Quoting AEnigma III:

Quoting AEnigma III: Quoting thehandsom: I am not sure it is entirely correct. Or at least it was not the case. |
So in Turkey you hardly notice Ramadan eh? There are hardly any mosques? Hardly anyone visits them?
Just recently since the new government eh?

You would not notice ramadan 20 years ago. But you do notice now! (last year when I was in Istanbul, we found a bit difficult to find a restaurant which would serve us raki during ramadan). About the mosques, you are absolutely right about the number. It is unbelivably high (waste of money for a developing country).
However, although 99% call themselves muslims, but only 8% wants sheriah. 60 percent will say religion is quite important to them.
I think that represent a fluctuation about this matter, when you look at the years and draw a graph.
The question is how suddenly people started to 'discover' the religion? And what happened during last 20 years in Turkey?
And also you can question about how strong beliefs are in Turkey too. Definately it is not the same islam as in saudi arabia. It is kind of softened version of it. More tolerant I would say. Alchol consumption is very high for example which is strictly forbidden (but all my relatives drink their rakis every night, all bars and meyhanes are full)
You would see many mini skirt wearing beautiful girls in summer. They are all in that 99%.
So what I am trying to say that islam is different in Turkey then what you know 'islam in pakistan'.
Ah..going back to subject:
The men visit brothels, they are in that 99% too.

The way some get around this is via a type of marriage called
Muta marriage
It is a controversial topic, but I've even seen some say if a condom was used, they really didn't do zinna. Same thing I heard once with a Saudi who was drinking scotch. His reply was that the Quran talked about wine.
It is a Shia practice and legal in Iran today, from what I've heard...

Female Prostitution exists in almost all the societies, where -at least- some of the male population is not gay...
Anyone here says there is no prostitution in his/her country?
