By Soner Cagaptay PostGlobal, February 13, 2008 On February 9, Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) passed constitutional amendments to legalize a specific woman's headscarf, known as the turban, on college campuses. The Turkish turban -- not to be confused with the south Asian male turban -- emerged in the country in the 1980s. When Kemal Ataturk founded Turkey as a secular republic after World War I, he looked to Europe, and especially France, for his inspiration. While American secularism provides freedom of religion, the French version that Ataturk adopted emphasizes freedom from religion -- that is, keeping religion and its symbols out of government and education. Turkey's secular courts have considered the turban a political religious symbol -- AKP leader and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose wife wears a turban, suggested that this might indeed be the case. Accordingly, the courts had, until last weekend, banned the turban on college campuses. But now that the turban is allowed on campuses, what will happen next?"

Many believe that moderate Muslims do not exist, let alone moderate Muslim countries Michael van der Galiën As a foreigner visiting Turkey today, it is awkward to see how much has changed in only one year and even six months time. One year ago I visited Turkey and the country was relatively stable. Six months ago there was a controversy regarding how to elect the president of this great nation-state, but although it was a grand debate, there were virtually no protests. Of course people also talked about the PKK (outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party) and what to do about this terrorist organization, but one did not get the feeling that the situation was overly tense."
