Is Turkey a very strict Muslim country or secular? - Yahoo! Answers

Completely secular.

Kemal Ataturk established an entirely secular Turkish state in 1921. He abolished things like the Arabic alphabet for Turkish, Hijab (veil) for women, sex segregation, gave religious minorities equal rights, remodelled the education system and modernized Turkey in attempt to create better relations with Europe after years of bitter rivalry during the Ottoman period. Turkey nowadays is one of the most liberal, Muslim countries in the world.

The Turkish people as a whole are still fairly religious but the newer generations are becoming increasingly Westernised and secular.

Not strict at all.

Very secular. Turkey has come a long way to modernity and I pray that the rest of my bothers and sisters in the Middle East will to someday.
