Just as an extra info:
Couple of years ago I was in Sile/Istanbul with my parents on the beach. And we saw several women wearing those head to toe covering things. And the men with them were wearing very long swimming trunks. They were trying to enjoy themselves.

My first thought was 'oh well, they have right to be there and enjoy themselves as like any other citizens'. But bizaarly my mother, who is a quite devoted muslim, did not take the same view. Her reaction was :'What is this? if you are that muslim what are you doing here?'. She also said that (in her simplistic turkish way) 'they are trying to say that all these girls wearing normal swimming costumes on this beach are all prostitutes'.
That was what her opinion was about the subject!!

i think your mother has to be aware of who has different life style they minimum have to same right to use beachs minimum as much as her right,but seems she has effected from extrem secular discussions while judding em by don't ask any question to them??really very sad


I think my mother knows them very well. That is the reason why she talked like that.
Her daughter/my sister goes to the beach in swimming costume.
AND SHE KNOWS THAT WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT HER.
That is what makes her angry.
She knows that it is not about islam or freedom. she knows that they want sheria by heart. She knows that they are faking the freedom cries for their ultimate goal which is sheria.

It is the common people's generic idea btw in Turkey.


pity so many people like you never aware of the realities their own society or country??


There is only one way out of this unfortunately.
I think, somehow, the islamists make the public believe that they DENOUNCE THE SHERIA.
They should say it publicly and make everybody believe they are not after sheria.
Dont you agree?
And I am hoping that you are against the backward, anti democratic, dogmatic Seria which was abolished by Ataturk.

I think you will find that Roswitha's links carry more weight that your own experience as a Turkish man who has lived in Turkey
