As a turk how religious are you?

Question

If you consider you self as a muslim.

Where do you currently live.

Answer 1

Inquiring about a person's religious preference is considered rude in Turkey. Silly questions like this fit the "Ramadan" section better.

Have you asked the same question to your communist father? Or did your traumatic mother who, out of personal disasters, gave herself to the safe, rather 'bombastic' hands of radical Islam forbid you to communicate with him? What a well known banality, a child angry at her father choosing the "other side" to take revenge! A miserable life on two "extremes" ...You bring tears to my eyes!

Ah, no, 'for people like you' being religious and being a Turk are two mutually exclusive things. You are not and can't be a Turk.

Edit: Lady S, I appreciate your advice but you must know that most of the people would have reacted in a different way had the asker not been a person known for her sharia loving answers and questions. You know there are other likes of her from the Ramadan section continously attacking Turks for being immoral, West-loving wannabes with their out of the line questions periodically posted here. After all these things, it is hard to imagine that this question is asked out of sheer curiosity.

Answer 8

I agree that many Turks seem to ignore questions about religion and try to deny the fact that they are Muslim, but I'm sure they have a good reason to suspect when a question like this appears on here, because there are too many trolls asking offensive questions, especially about religion. I'm not Turkish, but I am Muslim and not religious; but still, I respect my religion as a part of what I am. I see it more as a part of my ancestry and culture, than religion itself. I don't practise any of those religious things, but I am Muslim and proud of it. I don't care if someone doesn't like that. There's your answer... even if you're a troll.

EDIT: I see all the thumbs down given to my answer, and yet, most Turks who answered this question were kinda offended by this question. I don't think there is anything offensive in asking about religion; you can just say "yes" or "no". It is your personal right to be religious or not, but you guys reacted to this question like he asked something terrible. In ex-Yugoslavia, where I am from, religion used to be "something you don't talk about" during the communist regime, but now it's OK. I'm not religious, but after what happened to Muslims in Bosnia during that terrible war, I started appreciating my religion (but I still don't practise it). And one advice to Turks in general: Sometimes you guys overreact to some questions on here, and people could think you're rude, but I know Turks are friendly and I keep saying that even in the Greek section, so maybe you should start being more relaxed and considerate in your answers. I'm telling you this as a friend.
