As a turkish, i can say that beware of turkish men.

There is two possibility here:

1. They are really kind and generous to foreign women with no bad intentions.

This possibility is %5 or less. Not all of them same but hard to find them.

2. They need a lifetime visa for europe or usa. This is the main reason.

Or just having fun for a couple of days including sexual intercourse.

This possibility is %95 or more.

I do not approve the second one but it is a reality. Just be careful.

If you fix, repair everything needed including painting, carpentry, electrical... etc, you are doing "tadilat" (first "a" is pronounced long cus of arabic origin, tâdilat is better). To cut a long story short, the answer to this question is called tadilat: "what does handyman do?"

Actually it is God´s order to muslim women, but still they are free to wear it or not. They are responsible for their actions. It is unacceptable to force women to wear it like Iran, not to wear it like Turkey. Give some freedom to people .

"And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands´ fathers, their sons, their husbands´ sons, their brothers, their brothers´ sons, their sisters´ sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed." Surat An-Nur, 31, Holy Quran

Yeah possible. All abrahamic religions share many things. We believe that their prophets were sent for same purposes by same God and we respect them. Look at Virgin Mary, even she is wearing a headcover. There was a sacrifice festival a few days ago, that is abrahamic too.

Yes, that is absulately true.

[seni sevmeyi bir kenara bırak] senden hoşlanmayan başka bir kadının peşinde koşarken sana hayran olan (or ´seni delicesine seven´ kızı unutma!

i translated "even" as in parentheses, you can avoid that part.
normally i translate "even" as "bile" in turkish but it doesnt fit here.

i dont know where this woman from and what is her etnicity but as soon as i see the photo, i thought she must be indian or gypsy. gypsies are indian originated people also. it is possible to see them in balcans mostly.

Cool pics. I liked them.

No headscarves? yes, no headscarves.
At that time nobody interfere at headscarves, generally all dressing.
I saw even the pictures of khaliph´s daughters with no headscarves somewhere else.

ottomans was a multicultural society with more personal freedom.

we were discussing (or dictating actually) whether or not girls wear headscarves at schools for decades. Just a few years ago, it is allowed to wear headscarves in universities in a country claimed at least 95% are muslims! Still forbidden in high schools and for many state workers.

In about a century ago, whoever wants to wear headscarves, they are free to wear it. And whoever doesnt to wear it, they are free not to wear it. In anywhere, in state areas, in schools etc. I think we are going backwards (or forward i am not sure!) at point of freedom.

i couldnt understand, too.
but i found out in other websites that it will be build on golden horn (haliç.

I am driving my car at the speed of light and I turn on my headlights.  What do I see?

Sadly this question and all others about experiences at the speed of light do not have a definitive answer.  You cannot go at the speed of light so the question is hypothetical.  Hypothetical questions do not have definitive answers.  Only massless particles such as photons can go at the speed of light.  As a massive object approaches the speed of light the amount of energy needed to accelerate it further increases so that an infinite amount would be needed to reach the speed of light.

Sometimes people persist: What would the world look like in the reference frame of a photon?  What does a photon experience?  Does space contract to two dimensions at the speed of light?  Does time stop for a photon?. . .  It is really not possible to make sense of such questions and any attempt to do so is bound to lead to paradoxes.  There are no inertial reference frames in which the photon is at rest so it is hopeless to try to imagine what it would be like in one.  Photons do not have experiences.  There is no sense in saying that time stops when you go at the speed of light.  This is not a failing of the theory of relativity.  There are no inconsistencies revealed by these questions.  They just don´t make sense.
