Question

Fundamentalist islam in turkey is especially successful at which levels?

Answer 1

Compared to its neighbors, Islam in Turkey is pretty secular. However, some politicians are sticking to fundamentalist Islam in order to secure populist vote by claiming themselves to be champions of social justice and equality. Since the country has been the gateway of ISIS militants going to Syria, it also experienced terrorist attacks on its own soil. It is to note that Erdogan, the current President of Turkey, supported Muslim Brotherhood and has flirted with ISIS-affiliated groups to do a proxy war against Kurd communities in Iraq.
