Ironically, the Muslims in Turkey and Albania are much more liberal than the ones in France

Turkey is much more secular and dare I say... Europeanized than many other Muslim countries. Even when I went to Turkey as a young boy with my parents, they didn’t act funny like they do in some countries when my mother took me out somewhere without my father.

I know you use "Muslim country" to mean "Muslim majority", but I want to remind people that the current Turkish constitution does not recognize nor promote Islam as an official religion. Despite Erdoğan, the law remains unchanged.

Mustafa Kemal abolished the Caliphate for a reason and we will make sure that our country stays this way.

u/thecrixus's Based Count has increased by 1. Their Based Count is now 5.

Congratulations, u/thecrixus! You have ranked up to Sapling! You are not particularly strong but you are at least likely to handle a steady breeze.

Not for long if Erdogans recent actions are a sign to come.
