That and a nickel buys a nice cup of jack squat.

They’re going to have to do something about it, before Turkey becomes another Iran.

Islam is a “religion” of death and destruction.

Maybe they want a life?

Deism: The belief in God, without religion.

Describes me to a T.

The most interesting question is why so many Turks are losing their faith,

because mohammedanism is antireason and antireality

The report says that because archaic interpretations of Islam cannot persuade the new generation on issues such as the “problem of evil” (why God allows evil to take place), some imam hatip students have begun questioning the faith. Instead of adopting atheism, the report added, these post-Islamic youths embrace the milder alternative: “deism,” or the belief in God but without religion.

...

Alvin Plantinga, a well respected Christian philosopher formally demonstrated that the “problem of evil” can be explained by God giving us free will.

Plantinga has been credited with moving philosophy toward desecularization.

Erdogan has gone full megalomaniacal. He thinks himself Sultan, Caliph, & Mahdi all rolled into one.

Bad news for secular Turks & any fan of Kemal Ataturk. Erdogan’s palace has Putin’s skinned a mile.

Watch for the remosqification of Hagia Sophia next.

Turkey was once a secular democracy (more or less). But they chose to become an Islamic dictatorship and go back to the seventh century.

“deism,” or the belief in God but without religion.

Okay. Don't define "God" and you don't know what you're talking about. Now, define "God", and voila!, you've got doctrine, i.e., religion.

Ozturk argued that despite the conviction among religious conservatives that they are in the midst of a golden age, something very fundamental is slipping out of their hands, as “the new generations are getting indifferent, even distant, to the Islamic worldview.”

The trend away from religion is worldwide. The Muslim world is just farther behind the west. Turkey is leading the Islamic world in this regard because they have a growing economy and a history of secularism. The internet is killing religion as more and more people around then world are able to see through the lies.

Because Islam is a death-cult founded by a pedophile psychopath named Muhammed.

Muhammed was a pagan, demonic, pig of a thief and a murderer. Any Muslim that takes offense I just have to say, read the Koran.
