How Atatürk attacked and tried to extinguish Islam | Part 1

In 1924, the last Islamic Caliphate, The Ottoman State, was abolished and replaced with the secular Republic of Turkey by the nationalistic CUP movement and Mustafa Kemal "Atatürk." The ideology of Kemalism compelled Turkish supremacy and chauvinism to spread throughout the newly established state, oppressing non-Turkish minorities.

After almost 100 years, still, a secular constitution influenced by Kemalism but with a more "Muslim friendly" approach, Turkey is considered among the leading Muslim countries.

However, anyone who travels to Turkey will not leave without coming across "Atatürk," as his face is present in streets and squares in the form of statues; his portraits are hung within schools, universities, and government buildings.

To what extent did Ataturk's reforms influence the government and its society? In this video, we cover 45 points about Ataturk and how he attacked and tried to extinguish Islam.

Disclaimer
1. Although Mustafa Kemal is widely accepted among Turks for having Atatürk (Father of the Turks) as his title, we are aware that not all Turks recognize him like that or agree. For the sake of the video flow, we chose to use his "nickname" instead of writing / saying his full one on every occasion. We apologize if this has offended our Turkish viewers.
