Today I want to talk about religion in Turkey and would like to give tips for foreigners, non-Muslims or anyone who wants to visit or live in this beautiful country.
In recent videos, we have been talking about diversity in Turkey, ranging from culture to food to music.
So, what religions can you expect to see if you visit? How religious is Turkey?
Let's start by taking a look at some basic information about the country.
Turkey is a secular state and has no official religion since the constitutional amendment in 1928 but government figures show that the 99 percent of the population is Muslim, with about 77 percent belonging to the Sunni Hanafi branch.
Sunnis are the majority in Turkey today because this branch of Islam was introduced in the region during the Ottoman Empire.
However, I would estimate and figures from various organizations show anywhere between 95 to 98 percent of the country practices Islam. Representatives from various other religious groups estimate their followers to be around .02 percent of the 82 million-strong population.
Pew Research Center reporting and other data indicates 5 percent of Muslims in the country identify as Alevis. The Shia Jafari community estimates its members make up 4 percent of the Muslim population.
Estimates from other groups are in the tens of thousands and include different Protestant denominations, Jehovah's Witnesses, Jewish denominations, Greek Orthodox Christians, Yezidis, Syriac Catholics, Maronite Christians and Ukrainian Orthodox.

Please make a video on scammers who exist in Turkey on a very massive level, and tell me if Turkish government has taken any actions or if it has implemented laws to curb Turkish and non-Turkish scammers through out Turkey or not. In Turkey frauds exist at every expect of life, such as, Taxi drivers, bar employees, loan officers, real estate business owners, restaurant owners, etc, scam, kidnap, rob, and murder foreign tourists and legal or illegal migrants all the time.

As a turkish, Its really strange to see that rest of the world has still problems about accepting others personal choices,, let me share what Fatih Sultan Mehmet (Conquer of İstanbul in 1453) said,,, Dont ask People like Whats your relagion? Do you perform salah prayer? Are you fasting? All are Allah's questions, but ask -Are you hungry?, do you need something?, Do you have any problem? Those are our responsibility

Thank you for these words of reassurance. As an Eastern Orthodox Christian who is seriously considering the Ex-Pat life in Turkey, it's nice to know that things are still great in that respect there. Having visited in years past , tolerance had been my experience, but that was as a guest and not a potential resident. Really enjoy your videos, keep up the great work!

Jeffery, Islam is simple. Christians believe that God walked on this Earth, ate food, went toilet, resided in a womans womb, and died. They believe in the Pagan blood sacrifice of a child to appease God. Only that will get your actions forgiven. Jews believe they are the superior race, free from Gods punishment regardless of their actions. Muslims believe that the creator is One, perfect, unlike anything created. God sent guidance in the form of prophets who were human. You will be judged on your actions. Islam is rational. Accept Islam brother Jeffery.

I myself am a Turkish woman from our capitol city Ankara and it's really true, that we let every human believe in who or what he wants to. It doesn't matter to us. We see everyone only as human being. And there are bad people in every society in the world, as there are good people in it. Everybody should at least try to understand another person. That's our point of view. Love from Türkiye to all humans💕💕💕

Salaam Aladdin, A Blessed and Happy Ramadan to you and your loved ones. I am writing to you from America and letting you know that I have spent the Holy Month in a few places and that includes Jeddah in Saudi Arabia. I only spent one day of Ramadan in Istanbul and that was the best day of Ramadan for me in my life. My one day experience was spiritually uplifting and festive and no other place can come even close to that one day I spent fasting in Istanbul. God Willing, I aim to spend an entire Holy Month in Turkey in the near future. InshaAllah. God Bless.

I love visiting Turkey, and have always been shown great kindness. Of course, there are some aspects of Turkish culture that are foreign to me, and even some that I might wish to be different (for example it’s attitude to LGBT Turks) but I would not desire Turkey to become just another westernised state. There is something special about the Turkish culture, and acceptance of diversity, generosity and the hospitality of Turkish people. It’s a delicate balance. I hope Turkey continues to to be open to others but retains its individuality. Many Turks are experiencing difficult times at the moment, which makes me sad. I hope that things will improve for them.

As an ex-Muslim and atheist Turk living in Turkey, I don't think you will have any problems with religion. Turkey is governed by secular rules and your rights are protected by law. society will never interfere with you as long as you do not insult their religion. The worst thing that can happen to you is probably that they gossip. Like "he is a Christian, he came from this country, they have this in their custom".

@@Alex-lw3yk I can't speak for everyone, but there is not sufficient evidence fir the existence of God or the proposition that Quran or other holy books are of divine origin. The fact that a person who has left a religion was never a super religious person or already comes from a nonreligious family doesn't mean that that religion is true/false or that person's reasons for leaving religion are automatically invalid. Similarly, there are many ex-Christian Atheists who come from nonpracticing Christian families, they were never religious Christian believers but they left it, does that mean that their reasons for not believing are automatically invalid? No. There might be people who left religion who were once super religious, not very religious etc; this issue is really irrelevant to whether a religion is true or not. If a former believer, who was never a practicing religious person, has still good , convincing reasons to not believe; then they are justified. Similarly, there might be people who were once super religious, then left religion for invalid reasons, that's possible. Similarly, there are many ex-Hindu Atheists who come from nonpracticing families, simply the fact that they were never practicing doesn't mean that their reasons for not believing are invalid

@@Alex-lw3yk I used to be super religious until one night at the mosque during Ramadan, the imam said Muslims today are all committing kufr because Islam has been so riddled with innovations and lies that they are no longer practicing the real Islam. This bothered me so I did some research into things I had doubts about. Some of my doubts were cleared but a lot of my other doubts turned out to be true. Furthermore, a lot of the scriptures were constantly being denied by Muslims such as the Sira and Hadiths. This weakened my belief so I tried to counter it and strengthen my faith by looking at things that would prove Islam to be true, like the Kuran...except they couldn't prove it to be true. One example is that Allah is meant to be the all-wise and all-knowing creator. And yet in the Kuran it says that men ejaculate from between the backbone and ribs (taken from ancient greek knowledge 300 before Islam), sperm is the sole origin for making babies (disregarding the role of ovaries), sperm turns into blood clots (which is impossible because blood clots are dead mass), then these blood clots turn into a lump (also impossible because nothing grows from dead mass), the skeleton forms before being wrapped in flesh (this is also taken from ancient greek knowledge. The real truth is that cartilage is formed at the same time as flesh and doesn't fully form into bones until many years later) and it claims a babies gender is determined at the stage when they are clinging clots of blood (completely false because gender is determined by genetics when the sperm fuses with the egg). An all-knowing and all-wise creator could not make a single mistake about his creation and yet there were so many. I haven't even touched on other topics and this is just the tip of the iceburg. Needless to say I am an ex-muslim now.

@@Alex-lw3yk Yes yes you can doubt my past all you want, it wont change 30 years of being Muslim in a strictly practicing sunni household. Instead of being immature by denying what you cant prove about other people's history in youtube comments why dont you demonstrate your superior knowledge by addressing the direct examples I have given you from the kuran/Allah instead of hiding behind the conman and fake medical doctor Zakir Naik? Getting others to explain the kuran whose purpose is to be self explanatory is like holding others opinions above Allah. You might as well declare your shirk. If you want the individual surahs and ayahs I'll gladly give these too although as a muslim you should already know them.

My parents came to the USA back in the very early 1900s because of religious persecution. The whole world has changed since then. (thank God - Allah) Far from perfect but we are progressing. There are 6 billion people on this earth and we all march to the drumbeat we hear and most of us want to please our intelligent creator. This earth would be a better place if we all lived what our religion teaches. I am a LDS Christian.

Why didn't you cover tengrism in this video? It's the original neo-pagan religion of the Turks since they were nomads in the Asian steppes. The non-dogmatic and tolerant nature of this religion is the reason why Turks are so open and tolerant toward other faiths since they fused it with the Islamic religion they picked up as they headed westward past the middle east towards Europe. The tengrist rituals and symbols are still practiced today.

Everyone made us feel very very welcome on hearing that we were Hindus from, what you call Hindustan, and not India. Glad to know you have Indian friend s.

My father is an Atheist but very conservative, so my whole family i.e. uncles. They talk " a Turkish girl won't dress very revealing, a Turk won't drink alcohol, a Turk ...a Turk won't wear hijab, a Turk ...a Turk " They relate all to being a Turk. Whereas I am Agnostic but Liberal. I respect all religions as well as Turkish female Muslims wearing hijab as Arabs. On the other hand, I respect transvestites, gays, and anyone not mainstream. As long as people do not harm, or hurt other people, everyone should be free in their choice and respect the differences. Colours make a country more beautiful.

Wearing hijab has nothing to do with being Arabs or not. But actually hijab is a modest for all Muslims women and our creator Allah almighty mentioned Muslims women to be modest in our religion. So hijab is not related to Arabs. There are also non Muslims Arabs and other Arabs who doesn’t wear hijab. So the fact is that hijab is religious modest cloth nothing to do with any nationality.

Churches are much better protected than mosques today. I don't know if Christians can come and worship, but you can visit easily. I hope Turkey can host all kinds of religions.
