Atatürk's secularist centre-left CHP will govern the whole of #Türkiye very soon. #CHP #Atatürk #turkeyelections

[TC Oktay Saraçoğlu 🏳️‍🌈 @OktayWhatkinson]

The legacy of Atatürk will exist forever. Your filthy anti-democratic, anti-secular, misogynistic, LGBTQ+ fobic islamist ideology will never be able to destroy it.

[TC Oktay Saraçoğlu 🏳️‍🌈 @OktayWhatkinson]

Keep your filthy reactionary hands of the great leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his secular republic of Türkiye. Go to a sharia state. By the way, inform you: (1) Atatürk never banned the hijab, but he discouraged it, (2) Atatürk never converted mosques into pubs, casinos, etc..

[Xavier @xavierjp__]

Here is a non exhaustive list of the ways that Mustafa Kemal “ataturk” tried to destroy Islam

- banned hijab
- banned the Arabic call to prayer
- banned the use of “Allah” in the call to prayer
- turned mosques into stables, casinos, pubs and hotels
- legalised blasphemy of Islam, of Allah, of the prophet ﷺ and of the companions
- forbade the selling of books on Islam
- prohibited prayer in hagia sofia
- banned the use of Arabic during Jumu’ah and eid prayers
- removed the shahada from the all military flags
- oversaw the abolishment of the caliphate
- claimed the Quran was fabricated by the prophet ﷺ
- legalised the sale of pork
- Sunday replaced Friday as the weekly holiday
- the official Islamic annual holidays like Eid were replaced with Christian holidays like Christmas
- hijri calendar was replaced with the Gregorian calendar
- encouraged women to dress immodestly
- removed Islam as the official religion of Turkey
- removed Islamic inheritance laws
- forbade nikkah and iddah
- stopped officials from swearing an oath by Allah. Instead, officials would have to swear their oath to Turkey
- removed the calligraphy of the names of Allah, the prophet ﷺ and the sahaba from mosques. Only hagia sofia was spared and that’s only because the plates were too big to be removed
- stopped imams from being able to speak to soldiers
- executed scholars who refused to obey him
- allowed non Muslim men to marry Muslim women

Geïslamiseerd Turkije?? Erdogan kan seculiere karakter van Atatürk's republiek Turkije niet veranderen. Turkije 2023: imam wordt gearresteerd voor 't beledigen van Atatürk & zijn seculiere hervormingen. Stop toch met bazelen, racist @SamvanRooy1 .

Niemand die de geschiedenis van de #islam kent, in geïslamiseerde landen als Algerije, Turkije en Iran, kan hierover verbaasd zijn. Dit is immers precies hoe de #islamisering verloopt: in fases, te beginnen met de massa-immigratie. Vervolgens, wanneer er in een wijk, stad of land voldoende moslims zijn, beginnen die zogeheten 'radicale islamisten' (de beroepsmoslims, de voorhoede) de openbare ruimte te islamiseren. 👇

#Atatürk, Türk milletinin kurtarıcısı ve Türkiye Cumhuriyeti'nin kurucu lideridir. Ey büyük Atatürk! Açtığın yolda, gösterdiğin hedefe durmadan yürüyeceğime ant içerim. Şeriat hukuku bizim hukukumuz değildir. Biz şeriat ülkesi değiliz. Türkiye laiktir ve laik kalacak. #Laiklik

It remains to be seen if the Erdogan regime can do this as his regime falls short of the necesary majority in Parliament. But hey @alexanderdecroo @vonderleyen continue to congratulate this hateful regime with his "victory" ...Epic fail

@bachrouriamir Je zegt dat het benoemd moet worden, maar je benoemt de oorzaken niet. En dat is geen tekort aan openbare recreatiecentra, maar een conservatief en vrouwonvriendelijk wereldbeeld.

[TC Oktay Saraçoğlu 🏳️‍🌈 @OktayWhatkinson]

Meer openbaar recreatiegebied ja, maar men gaat een vrouw die topless zonebaat niet voor hoer uitmaken omdat er een tekort is. Als je het wilt benoemen moet je ook doen. #Blaarmeersen

[Amir Bachrouri @bachrouriamir]

Het wangedrag van jongeren in de Blaarmeersen moet benoemd kunnen worden. Geen millimeter toegeven op die intimidaties. Maar: elk debat is zinloos wanneer we het niet hebben over het gebrek aan open ruimte en recreatiedomeinen op een gebied van +1 miljoen inwoners #dtz #terzaketv

@BiabaniRamin Could you tell me what Kiliçdaroglu said that would be a so-called insult to the army of Turkey?

[TC Oktay Saraçoğlu 🏳️‍🌈 @OktayWhatkinson]

No, Atatürk's secularist centre-left CHP doesn't support Erdogan. Regardless of whom is the president of Turkey, you can't take the law in your own hand and threat to hang the president. And you call yourself a human rights advocate. #Outoftouchwithreality #Terrorism

@LujainAhmed60 What evil eyes?

[TC Oktay Saraçoğlu 🏳️‍🌈 @OktayWhatkinson]

@ImperiumDem Islamophobia is caused or stemming from 2 thinks (1) Downright disgusting racism, (2) Political islamism...In fact islamism and far-right extremism need each other to consilidate and grow.

[TC Oktay Saraçoğlu 🏳️‍🌈 @OktayWhatkinson]

Wrapping up a very young girl in a black headscarf and long dress and chaining it to -I hope- his father....And some call this the beauty of islam. Seriously? Disgusting this is.

Children should always be free from dogmaticism and should never be chained. #Secularism #laiklik

[Quran and Hadith @QuranAndHadithh]

Mashallah 🖤

This is the Beauty Of Islam ❤️

çok güzel. Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, Türkiye Cumhuriyeti'nin 13. Cumhurbaşkanı. Kemal for president.

[Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu @kilicdarogluk]

Acılarımızla yüzleşerek iyileşebiliriz. Yaralarımızı ancak bu sayede sarabiliriz. Artık geçmişte yaşamak istemiyorsak, önümüze bakmak istiyorsak, bu ülkedeki tüm açık yaraları kapatmamız şarttır. Söz verdim aydınlatacağım ve helalleşmek için bir daha geleceğim.

[TC Oktay Saraçoğlu 🏳️‍🌈 @OktayWhatkinson]

This page is pro-gülenist. Now wonder it is against Atatürk's secularist centre-left CHP and no wonder it is dreaming of another conservative politcian ( Ali Babacan) to take office as prime minister.

Turkey needs a progressive government, not another conservative one.

[TC Oktay Saraçoğlu 🏳️‍🌈 @OktayWhatkinson]

Deze Erdogan-liefhebber gaat nu al ontkennen dat politiek islamisme bestaat. 🤦🤦‍♀️

Man, ga eens kijken waar politiek islamisten aan de macht zijn. Dan zal je zien hoe ze de samenleving om zeep helpen. #Secularisme #Laiklik
