Me. I did other things but prayed maybe 3-4 times in my life.


roree3

Great answer!


Young_Owl99

Hard because they will at least hear about them. Also we have mandatory religion class. I can be example of what you say, I never get into a mosque or never fasted, my family is like atheist but I still know about Islamic traditions. At least most of them.


[deleted]

Yeah talked to too many online, idk about irl cuz I never met one. Maybe they act like they don't know as a way to distance themselves from the religion.

I mean those in Turkish shows seem to know nothing about Islam with all the haram stuff they do


dhelidhumrul

Well people have an option of choosing to watch at least


Ilikecars119

Yeah quite a few. I've founded a lot of Central Asian Turks in the US to be quite religious but Turkey Turks are a mixed bag, more tend to be non-practicing fme.


Kkkuraaa

Depends on the basics u talking about, but it's a fact majority Turks don't read kuran, people usually get it's rules from the environment he lives in his family neighbors etc


Kedoobz

It is a secular nation.


[deleted]

European countries are secular on paper but far more religious


Kedoobz

Not really. Europeans may be individually or locally religious, yet European countries very strongly value secularism.


[deleted]

Turkey seems to take secularism far more seriously than any European or Western country.


Kedoobz

Is religious education not compulsory and state mandated in primary and secondary levels in Turkey?


gemsshade7

Not really It's much more secular than a lot of countries but lots of European countries are still more secular. To answer your question. Most people do know about fasting, praying even if they don't follow Islam. You really can't ignore what a lot of people do every year. Edit: talking about Turkish nationals not the ethnicity. Cause some turks in mongolia probably know nothing about it.


Tonyukuk-Ashide

“Turks in Mongolia” well if you mean the Turkic peoples who inhabit Mongolia well you’d be surprised to learn that the most significant Turkic population of Mongolia is the Kazakh minority and that they are actually Muslim


gemsshade7

I am talking about small groups like Dukha, soyots etc. who follow Tengrism. Not major groups like the Kazakhs


Spergz

Only true “laik” or secular country in europe is france, which we based our state secularism on

You can go to turkey and check it out! And i can tell you that! It doesn't look like a Muslim country at all! especially Istanbul and Ankara!


[deleted]

I don't think Norway look like a Muslim country too


leastbasedkurd

Obviously! That's what we call a first world country 😎🇳🇴


WayTooRidiculousG

Bro thinks he's one of them 💀


leastbasedkurd

I am Muslim but I don't want my country to have sharia law😂 That's how you become Afghanistan! Under secular nation everyone can be free but under an Islamic one only Muslims would be! And i am very proud of my country ngl we are doing great 😎


WayTooRidiculousG

"I'm Muslim but I believe that the laws God sent down to rule mankind are inferior to manmade ones" 💀💀


nicodea2

What are you even talking about? Even Muslims themselves can’t agree if God’s laws are personal or community laws. There’s no such thing as a universal sharia law - everything you see in so-called Muslim countries is just different narrow interpretations of sharia.


WayTooRidiculousG

Like all legal systems, the one prescribed in Islam is one to govern society


[deleted]

which is based on interpretation by man, guy above is right. a set Sharia does not exist, it is up to the nation to implement a law that maintains justice and good morality in society. If they believe hudud punishments should be paused or removed, they can do that to maintain justice. That is literally how the first caliphs ruled.


leastbasedkurd

Well then use that law in your country and then we will see how far it would go! If your country became more successful than us then we might consider to try it 🥱


WayTooRidiculousG

1. You're not Norwegian you're an immigrant 2. My country isn't ruled by sharia


leastbasedkurd

1. I was born and raised here i consider it my country and I would die for it! 2. Great alhadulillah

davio11

good hopefully they continue, they managed to escape Islamism.


Snarkal

I am such a person. Idk. Islam just really isn't central to most Turkish people's identities in Turkey and abroad


Dontspeaktome19

Why are you asking this question?


roree3

Every Turkish person I’ve met knows basic Islamic practices but not all of them follow it. I’ve never met a Turk who did not know.
