A brief his­to­ry of the life and poli­cies of one of the most vehe­ment ene­mies of Islam, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was the founder of the sec­u­lar Turk­ish state. It is an unfor­tu­nate thing that a lot of his poli­cies are still being prac­tised in Turkey till this day. Women are still not allowed to wear the hijab in Gov­ern­ment build­ings and schools a[s it is seen to be a sign of fun­da­men­tal­ism. I have per­son­al­ly come across a group of Turks who shout­ed Bis­mil­lah ar-Rah­man ar-Rahim loud­ly before they all drink alco­hol which is very much the result of Kemal­ism. May God bless those who fol­low His path.
