I think your anger at a Pole trying to discuss Ataturk objectively prevents you from seeing my point 
Are you trying to say Ataturk is not responsible for thousands of deaths? That his reform was peaceful and joyful? That people changed their lifestyle just because he said it´s a good idea? You´d have to be very naive to think so I wonder how you cannot see the parallel between ALL people who transformed the system in their countries (and both Ataturk and Hitler were ones). The changes have never been a display of love and human rights
And what you´re saying about him being considered saviour by millions of Turks only proves my point - you´re brainwashed from the early age to consider him the ultimate hero. It is impossible to criticise him because you grow defensive. What if he was an alcoholic? What if, despite giving women voting rights, he was a tyrant at home? Would that change his being one of the most important people in Turkey´s history? I don´t think so...
You may argue that since I am not Turkish I cannot know anything about him, but it works both waysl; if your governments want to make you believe he was perfect, then maybe you need a foreigner´s eyes to see things from a perspective.
During communism some people actually believed in the system, in Stalin, just like during the 3rd reich millions of people believed in Hitler. They would not admit being brainwashed, just like Turks can´t admit it either.
See, even in an online exchange of thoughts, you cannot bear to acknowledge somebody might be indifferent to whom you concern a great leader, you accuse me of obsessing of being an outsider etc when I only share my point of view. And, to be honest, i think it´s more objective than yours - I understand some islamists would be against Ataturk, Turks would be ready to die for the image created for him, and I am quite indifferent. He´s just a human being exactly the same like all other revolutionaries, an accidental person with his good and bad sides, who was in a given place in a given time. If it hadn´t been him, you might be worshipping a different Mustafa now. If he had failed, you would be cursing his name and praising a religious leader...that´s history and facts that always occur this way or another. Well, I can only guess you wouldn´t have access to youtube anyway 
i remember when I was on a guided tour of Turkey, the guide had a lot of spot-on comments about Turks. The longer I know Turks, the more right I see he was You need icons, gods, religion´s importance was reduced by bloodshed so you needed a new god. And you have been taught to love him, which you never fail to do You are taught not to question Ataturk´s way, as it´s been made the only right way. The love for him is being incited by threats: you´re afraid of increased religious influence, and afraid there are evil Brits & co who want to undo your beloved hero´s efforts and take over your wonderful country. You still have no problem with Kurds or Armenians or Christians...neither did Ataturk, right?
Look, I just want to make something clear, what I am interested in is the propaganda mechanism and the brainwashing, the social consequences of the persona cult, not history. Glorifying Ataturk, you´re teaching your children it´s ok to kill people who disagree with you, it´s ok to be a tyrant just to get the idea you want. Turkish history is full of examples of their love for being controlled by the army, which, instead of serving people, defends ideas from the last century. As if it were not the living people in a modern world who count but a dead leader in a marble tomb.
Oh, and I have a question. In school, where the cult of Ataturk is blossoming, can you say you don´t find him heroic? That you disagree with what he did to Turkey? Can you do that and not have to face any consequences?
If you don´t know anything about Ataturk, so how can we apply your perspective? Hide your deformed ideas in yourself about the people who you know NOTHING about!
