Please make a video on scammers who exist in Turkey on a very massive level, and tell me if Turkish government has taken any actions or if it has implemented laws to curb Turkish and non-Turkish scammers through out Turkey or not. In Turkey frauds exist at every expect of life, such as, Taxi drivers, bar employees, loan officers, real estate business owners, restaurant owners, etc, scam, kidnap, rob, and murder foreign tourists and legal or illegal migrants all the time.

As a turkish, Its really strange to see that rest of the world has still problems about accepting others personal choices,, let me share what Fatih Sultan Mehmet (Conquer of İstanbul in 1453) said,,, Dont ask People like Whats your relagion? Do you perform salah prayer? Are you fasting? All are Allah's questions, but ask -Are you hungry?, do you need something?, Do you have any problem? Those are our responsibility

Very interesting, can you elaborate?

[@redx11x]

Jeffery, Islam is simple. Christians believe that God walked on this Earth, ate food, went toilet, resided in a womans womb, and died. They believe in the Pagan blood sacrifice of a child to appease God. Only that will get your actions forgiven. Jews believe they are the superior race, free from Gods punishment regardless of their actions. Muslims believe that the creator is One, perfect, unlike anything created. God sent guidance in the form of prophets who were human. You will be judged on your actions. Islam is rational. Accept Islam brother Jeffery.

I myself am a Turkish woman from our capitol city Ankara and it's really true, that we let every human believe in who or what he wants to. It doesn't matter to us. We see everyone only as human being. And there are bad people in every society in the world, as there are good people in it. Everybody should at least try to understand another person.

[@AFBLYS]

In my surrounding, there are no muslims. I am turkish and almost all of my turkish friends are agnostics, atheists, deists, pantheists or paganists…Islam becomes more and more obsolete and out of fashion. But this is the case mostly in the big turkish cities. In the small ones especially in eastern parts of Turkey, the religion plays a big role still.

[@Cansu.6282]

As an ex-Muslim and atheist Turk living in Turkey, I don't think you will have any problems with religion. Turkey is governed by secular rules and your rights are protected by law. society will never interfere with you as long as you do not insult their religion. The worst thing that can happen to you is probably that they gossip. Like "he is a Christian, he came from this country, they have this in their custom".

[@Alex-lw3yk]

Why you left religion Have you ever Pray Namaz or even Friday prayer

[@RandPersonn]

@@Alex-lw3yk I can't speak for everyone, but there is not sufficient evidence fir the existence of God or the proposition that Quran or other holy books are of divine origin. The fact that a person who has left a religion was never a super religious person or already comes from a nonreligious family doesn't mean that that religion is true/false or that person's reasons for leaving religion are automatically invalid. Similarly, there are many ex-Christian Atheists who come from nonpracticing Christian families, they were never religious Christian believers but they left it, does that mean that their reasons for not believing are automatically invalid? No. There might be people who left religion who were once super religious, not very religious etc; this issue is really irrelevant to whether a religion is true or not. If a former believer, who was never a practicing religious person, has still good , convincing reasons to not believe; then they are justified. Similarly, there might be people who were once super religious, then left religion for invalid reasons, that's possible. Similarly, there are many ex-Hindu Atheists who come from nonpracticing families, simply the fact that they were never practicing doesn't mean that their reasons for not believing are invalid

[@itachi7285]

@@Alex-lw3yk I used to be super religious until one night at the mosque during Ramadan, the imam said Muslims today are all committing kufr because Islam has been so riddled with innovations and lies that they are no longer practicing the real Islam. This bothered me so I did some research into things I had doubts about. Some of my doubts were cleared but a lot of my other doubts turned out to be true. Furthermore, a lot of the scriptures were constantly being denied by Muslims such as the Sira and Hadiths. This weakened my belief so I tried to counter it and strengthen my faith by looking at things that would prove Islam to be true, like the Kuran...except they couldn't prove it to be true. One example is that Allah is meant to be the all-wise and all-knowing creator. And yet in the Kuran it says that men ejaculate from between the backbone and ribs (taken from ancient greek knowledge 300 before Islam), sperm is the sole origin for making babies (disregarding the role of ovaries), sperm turns into blood clots (which is impossible because blood clots are dead mass), then these blood clots turn into a lump (also impossible because nothing grows from dead mass), the skeleton forms before being wrapped in flesh (this is also taken from ancient greek knowledge. The real truth is that cartilage is formed at the same time as flesh and doesn't fully form into bones until many years later) and it claims a babies gender is determined at the stage when they are clinging clots of blood (completely false because gender is determined by genetics when the sperm fuses with the egg). An all-knowing and all-wise creator could not make a single mistake about his creation and yet there were so many. I haven't even touched on other topics and this is just the tip of the iceburg. Needless to say I am an ex-muslim now.

[@itachi7285]

@@Alex-lw3yk Yes yes you can doubt my past all you want, it wont change 30 years of being Muslim in a strictly practicing sunni household. Instead of being immature by denying what you cant prove about other people's history in youtube comments why dont you demonstrate your superior knowledge by addressing the direct examples I have given you from the kuran/Allah instead of hiding behind the conman and fake medical doctor Zakir Naik? Getting others to explain the kuran whose purpose is to be self explanatory is like holding others opinions above Allah. You might as well declare your shirk. If you want the individual surahs and ayahs I'll gladly give these too although as a muslim you should already know them.

Of course, there are some aspects of Turkish culture that are foreign to me, and even some that I might wish to be different (for example it’s attitude to LGBT Turks) but I would not desire Turkey to become just another westernised state. There is something special about the Turkish culture, and acceptance of diversity, generosity and the hospitality of Turkish people. It’s a delicate balance. I hope Turkey continues to to be open to others but retains its individuality. Many Turks are experiencing difficult times at the moment, which makes me sad.

Why didn't you cover tengrism in this video? It's the original neo-pagan religion of the Turks since they were nomads in the Asian steppes. The non-dogmatic and tolerant nature of this religion is the reason why Turks are so open and tolerant toward other faiths since they fused it with the Islamic religion they picked up as they headed westward past the middle east towards Europe. The tengrist rituals and symbols are still practiced today.

As a Turk, I can easily enter the church. I do not belong to any religion or do not feel belonging. There are millions of Turks who think like me. Churches are much better protected than mosques today. I don't know if Christians can come and worship, but you can visit easily. I hope Turkey can host all kinds of religions. As Turks, we like people to be free and to believe what they want. Our only problem is some bigoted people among us.

Numero uno and a universal truth, don't take a shortcut across a Mosque with your shoes on! At 18, many years ago, I hitch hiked across Europe, at a one week interval I was in Istanbul and learned the hard way about that rule!!

[@sandytatham3592]

I absolutely love Turkiye and Turkish people, however Christians should note that it's quite difficult to visit a church in Istanbul because they are all under security due to vandalism and other attacks. Of course, those churches that have been converted into mosques are easy to visit. Sorry to put a dampener on Aladdin's rosy picture of tolerance but the percentage of Christians in Turkey declined from nearly 25% in 1914 to less than 0.5% in 2019, due mostly to ongoing persecution. Tourists will be totally fine though, and I highly recommend a visit.

As a Turk, I can easily enter the church. I do not belong to any religion or do not feel belonging. There are millions of Turks who think like me. I know that churches were attacked by far-right groups at that time, but today they are very well protected (according to mosques).

[@sandytatham3592]

@@hanturk1283: Jews and Christians used to live in Turkiye in quite large numbers in the early 1900s but now their numbers are very small. I have Christian friends who tell me that it became so difficult for them to get access to some public services that they had to emigrate elsewhere and now just return for visits. This discrimination might not be government policy but you can't police the minds of people. Turkiye is far less friendly to 'outsiders' than it was 30 years ago when I first began visiting, and it's not just due to a "bigoted" few. I'm really glad you "hope Turkey can host all kinds of religions" but I think that time has long gone, unless dire economic circumstances can bring about a change of mind and culture.

[@hanturk1283]

@@sandytatham3592 I am 19 years old and most of the young people in my country think the same. Now we want to live freely and in peace. We respect people's beliefs. We say let's do what we want to do. One of my closest friends is an atheist, the other is Muslim, and I had Christian friends at my old school. We respect each other's beliefs and that's how it should be. When we change the government some problems will go away and I hope people can live as they want. I did not know that people of other faiths had difficulties, and this is very sad. Before the Erdogan government, Muslims were experiencing difficulties. I hope that such distinctions will disappear when the government changes. I think you are from the old generation and please don't get me wrong, Turkey is changing and renewing every day.

Happy Ramadan. I love morning adhan and music, dance in the evening. I respect turkey of respecting every religion. I respect turkey of respecting modern, secular and religious people. I respect secular turkey that’s why turkey is attracting whole world because turkey respects modern,secular ,religious and everything. Yes music is important for those while love music and pubs and yes mosque is important for those who love mosques. Respect the women who wears skirts please and respect the women who wears hijab please after all she gave you birth. Both women are equally respected modern and religious. Even if muslims are modern and not practising Islam they are respectful as well. All muslims women who wears short skirts and shorts cloths even bikini are respectful as well. I love Ottoman history buildings along with modern beaches and buildings. Turkish media attracted whole world their actresses are modern and beautiful.Turkish dramas are best. Turkish mosques are best. Love from Pakistan. Edrogen is great because he respects its country modern , secular and religious people. Just I hate people who are rebellion of its own country and yes any country should care of it. I know who is enemy of turkey. But make sure keep an eye of your enemy propogandas who can use Hindu as well. Good hindus are good but spy Hindu along with Kurds can be bad for your country I am not saying all Hindu and Kurds are bad but those who are spy are bad. Keep an eye on their propoganda. Even they are jealous of Pakistan turkey friendship. even spy of any country can be bad for any country.
