If he was alive today he would be ashamed of what the country became
[removed]
Least patriotic crowd of Turks
His only mistake was not being harder on islam
So sorry for the Kurds that have thier right taken from them to do so for thier own nation
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk:
1. *I have no religion, and at times I wish all religions at the bottom of the sea. He is a weak ruler who needs religion to uphold his government; it is as if he would catch his people in a trap. My people are going to learn the principles of democracy, the dictates of truth and the teachings of science. Superstition must go. Let them worship as they will; every man can follow his own conscience, provided it does not interfere with sane reason or bid him against the liberty of his fellow-men.*
2. Religions have been basis of the tyranny of kings and sultans.
3. *In human life, you will find players of religion until the knowledge and proficiency in religion will be cleansed from all superstitions, and will be purified and perfected by the enlightenment of real science.*
But: The current Turkish society is anti-Atatürk and anti-secular. Strange place to celebrate.
