Leyla Shahin of Turkey a Great Islamic Hero
Leyla Sahin was born in Istanbul, Turkey, in 1973, into a family of practicing Sunni Muslims.
In 1993, she enrolled as a medical student at Uludag University (also known as Bursa University) in Turkey, some 100 miles south of Istanbul. Sahin wore a head scarf—but not a face-covering veil—while attending school in Bursa.
In August 1997, Sahin applied at the Cerrahpasa Faculty of Medicine at Istanbul University. She was admitted. In March 1998, wearing her head-scarf, she walked into a university hall to take an oncology exam. She was denied entry. Less than a month earlier, the vice chancellor of the university had issued a “circular” reaffirming a ban on the wearing of headscarves or other forms of religious dress on campus.
Turkish Nonsense
Typical Kemalist'nonsense:
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk founded modern Turkey in 1923 on strictly secular principles: The caliphate was abolished in March 1923, the constitutional provision declaring Islam the religion of the state was repealed in 1928, and in 1937 the Turkish constitution adopted secularism and gender equality as explicit state policies.
The question is did Ata-X own Turkey for any one to say he founded it?
