America is not a Christian country and Turkiye is not a Muslim country. We haven't gave up secular democracy yet..

[@hakan65256]

You are welcome. You should say and write Türkiye, not Turkey. The name of the country was changed 1 year ago. NATO, European Union and United Nations are now using Türkiye name Türkiye is a secular democratic country. There are people who believe in many different religions, not just Muslims.

[@pxpq]

Weird to see people referring to going to a "muslim" country when the country is secular by law, nobody says they are going to a "christian" country when they go to denmark, despite denmark being a christian country by law...

[@onurcan8434]

related to the population and the problems that may arise in the future. Therefore, it is registered by law. Even though it has nothing to do with the management style, you are still confusing it.

[@stouellette]

Yes , I noticed that too.. e.g. no one says that when they go from Italy to Muslim Albania.. it's just one country to another. The biggest difference between Greece and Turkey might be the alphabets.. as an American tourist it should be easier to read the Turkish alphabet.

[@onurcan8434]

​ @stouellette The alphabet that you think is the Latin alphabet is actually the alphabet that the Etruscans, who are genetically proven to be of 97% Turk origin, took with them when they left Asia and developed it during the so-called early Roman period. Etruscans were a state that was destroyed by Latins of Persian origin in the 600s BC. The Greeks are actually a community of Turk origin that has assimilated as a result. The Greeks took and developed their alphabet from the Phoenician alphabet, which was also proto-Turkish. Russians also took their alphabet from them. The name of the Cyrillic alphabet comes from the Roman saint Cyril. The Muslim country discourse is nothing but the result of people of Middle Eastern origin living in Turkiye exaggerating the situation. Religions exist to enforce their requirements, not to talk about them. What these communities think is required by their religion and the commands in their books are completely opposite. If we had allowed it, they would have corrupted this too, just as they had corrupted the previous divine religions.

[@onurcan8434]

@huseyinfurkankardiyen2104 The person who conducted genetic research on bone samples taken from Etruscan graves in Italy is Professor Alberto Piazzo from the University of Ferrara. As a result of the research, 97% is Turk. The result of thermoluminescence-based age calculations on the bones twice, in 1960 and 1972, is 15 thousand years old. The person who conducted the research is Danish physicist Vagn Mejdahi. The problem is already here. How do you write these without having any knowledge or on what - on what scientific research are you trying to reject them?

[@onurcan8434]

Can you tell me the name of this DNA? The Persians you are talking about are Farses. Take a look at the Persian alphabet and the alphabets of Middle Eastern communities. Is it similar to the so-called Latin alphabet? Latins are also of Persian origin. Also compare it with the Gokturk alphabet. Which one is more similar? The alphabet you know as the Gokturk alphabet is defined by this name because it was popular during the time of the Gokturks. There is no difference between them with the definition of the Latin alphabet. The same inscription, 1.5 lines long, found in a kurgan near Issyk Kul Lake, dates back to 500 BC. Gokturks 500 AD, Gokturk alphabet 500 BC. What sources are you talking about? The people of Egypt? Who are these Egyptian people? genetics - where are the phenotype and anthropological characteristics? source huh? Aren't you ashamed to lie?

[@oguz5717]

Turkey is not a muslim country, Turkey is a secular country. Turkish people are dominantly muslim not the country. why i am writing this? because it makes a huge difference between Turkey and iran,iraq or pakistan.

[@HatredForMankind]

Majority of people (around 85%) identify as "muslim" thus It is a muslim country, just like USA is a christian country. "Muslim country" simply means a country with a majority muslim(cultural, nominal, nonreligious doesnt matter, just per personal identification) population. It doesn't mean" Islamic country", just like USA being a "christian country" doesnt make it a "dominionist" one.

[@talialee6364]

​@@HatredForMankind no. Not the majority is muslim. It's only on paper not the reality. When we born our parents write our religion as muslim on our passport and then we don't change it even tho we don't believe in islam. Only %60 of the population have a religion. Especially new gen kids are mostly atheist and islamophobic. Turkiye is not a muslim country. We are secular. That's the end of the conversation.

When you call it a Muslim country, you turn it into a religious state. We are not a Muslim country, we are a country where approximately 80 - 90% of the population is Muslim. There is difference between.

I'm a Canadian and I've lived and sailed for the past 35 yrs next to 300 million muslims (Malaysia to the north, Indonesia to the south - the largest population of muslims on the planet) and I have nothing but great experiences with both countries. Apart from the very rare incidences of violence in other high-risk areas (southern Thailand and southeastern Philippines) I have never felt threatened or at risk in any way - far from it! In fact, everywhere I've been in both Malaysia and Indonesia has been a true pleasure - warm, gentle people with open arms and generosity beyond most my experiences in western countries. I've sailed all over SE Asia and the muslims are the nicest people evrytime.

Same here, over the past 25 years I've spent untold amounts of time in Turkey. Never really had a problem and since I travel with my family, we've always felt safer there than we do here in Philadelphia. Low crime, safe environment and fantastic food. Great place to be IMO. But like all places it has its negatives as well. One it isn't the cleanest place you'll find. People throw garbage around with zero regard. The second issue is simply how corrupt and greedy local Turks are. If they're robbing their own family members, what do you think they'll do to you? lol

Be careful when sailing on the southside of Kos, winds can pick up in the afternoon till 48 knots, sail early in the morning, after Knidos, wind is mostly calmed down. Also in the neighborhood of Datca wind can pick up. But you definitely must visit Datca. There are fresh water springs so you can get fresh water there. Market on saterday is also nice. When you visit Bodrum with your boat, you can get a mooring or anker before the castle, don’t need to go to the marina.

I'm an Irish (lapsed) Catholic. I spent three months cycling across Turkey on my way to India back in 2008. I loved the Call To Prayer, the food, the people and the scenery. I was invited into so many peoples homes and given free bed and board. The next country I cycled through was Iran, which was even more amazing. I was treated like a rock and roll star in Pakistan.

The Iraqi people are living in a terrorist state. It will be great to see them freed from the fanatics that currently run that country. The naivete of young travelers never fails to amaze me. Yes, you can have good experiences. I did. But you need to be super careful.

Turkiye is not a muslim country, it has no religion as you also mentioned in the video but the title...

[@alperenbaytimur]

what is the religion of 92% of Turkiye, islam right, then its a MUSLIM COUNTRY, because the MAJORITY is MUSLIM

[@benkanobe7500]

That rug looks beautiful in your boat!

[@cetinoezkeles239]

Hello dear American sailing family!! I'm writing to you from Germany! Turkey is a secular republic and has been since 1923, it was a masterpiece of Atatürk!! Please do not compare Türkiye with Iran or Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan!! Even if the current Turkiye is struggling with radical Islamism, it is a modern, friendly and secular state!🤝

[@sozinhope]

Not a Muslim country, just highly Muslim-populated. It's a secular country, have respect for all beliefs. There are many citizens with different beliefs, and also non-believers. The header of the video is offensive, you should have done it better. (I didn't watch the video, I came here to comment because the name of the video is a false claim.)

You made me miss home country sooo much! Especially also being a father of a one year old girl, far away, in your own country! Sending our love from California. If you need any reccos, happy to help. Wishing you all safe travels and loads of joy with your LO there. Beautiful video.

As a Turk, I liked your video very much. You will see many beautiful places, our country is heaven Enjoy.❤️

Wow great welcome to Turkey video. The story lines were awesome! The food was so yummy that I wish I could have tasted it through the internet. Wishing you a wonderful, yet fruitful stay to accomplish your boat projects. Blessings!

[@dianelyons7017]

Enjoyed sharing your adventure there. The rug creation process was amazing. Great choice with the one you purchased. Beautiful!

[@Beachwriter]

Your narratives on the countries you visit are very educational. Thank you for your preparation. It’s well appreciated.

[@allanmoore7790]

I love when you share the local foods that you are ordering from the restaurants. Eating what the locals eat is the best way to understand their culture and to learn their history.

[@utek3420]

Beautiful episode, very informative. I learned a few things about history I never knew about. And the rug you bought is gorgeous!

[@Sadoyasturadoglu]

Why do you define yourself as an American rather than a "Christian" and define Turkey as a "Muslim"? I just wondered.

[@Jameela01]

wow you just mixed religion with nationality st upid turk

[@clydewood8322]

Another low energy method of cooling a boat is to use ocean water pumped through a heat exchanger with a fan blowing cabin air through the heat exchanger. A tube lowered overboard to 10-20 feet deep picks up pretty cool water in most locals.

[@Tim8mit]

I might be wrong, but by my calculations Isa should be 1 year old, at the time of posting this video. That is a giant mile stone in the her life, and in many cultures and geographical locations, it is reason for serious celebrations. Congratulations Isa, happy birthday. I'm looking forward to getting a look at Turkey through your eyes. Thank-you for all the great videos...cheers

[@danfadden]

When you dive into the culture and bring us along is by far some of your best episodes. As much as I like the boat work, I really enjoy these when I learn something about a culture that I had no idea about. It also helps dispel stereotypes and shows the positive aspects of their culture. Amazing… The handmade carpets were beautiful too! Glad you were able to get one for Atticus. I’m sure she appreciated it as well. Lol

[@christina5950]

Once again enjoying your ability to share detail in a story like format! Nicely done…very captivated😊

[@rahmigozele1]

Thanks for the great video and nice comments about Turkey, its amazing to listen from non-turkish person in very nice way about our country. You are always welcome to Gocek and Fethiye area, we can assist you for nice airbnb accommodations . Thanks again for very nice video

[@ErdemGunay76]

Welcome to Turkiye! Great video, your narrative about Turkish culture and Turkish Republic is all correct. I hope you enjoy more and more with your voyage in Turkey. Gocek area is considered as best sailing destination of Turkey, and I suggest you to visit Knidos in Datca.

[@uygarbocutoglu4465]

That rug looks great on your boat! I hope you enjoy using it.

[@johnguz76]

Wake up to a Atticus episode and learn about Turkey too..well done..

[@stephenrrose]

You both have held true to Project Atticus Know your World! I love learning right with you as you dig into their culture, food, traditions, and willing to try new things. Thank you for bringing us along and for teaching us along the way. Although you make it feel like we are learning right with you! Take care and can't wait for the next video! Stay Safe!

"...Sailing to a Muslim Country"? Do you know what it even means ? Turkey is not a Muslim country, it is just a country where Muslims are in the majority! Do we call America a Christian country? No! Change the title...

[@acbiberfatih9169]

I come from people that relocated from Greece to Turkiye, and I need to say that the normal agreement was that Turks in western Greece and Greek outside of Istanbul was going to relocate, but Greece forced relocation in some parts of eastern Greece as well. I know this because those people were my ancestors. And another think, when we came to village that we settled in, they saw that Greek burned down the houses and foods. Im sad that these happened between us but truth needs to be told...

Turkey is not a muslim country! We are a secular country! not all of us are muslim so u can not say turkey is muslim
