    Ataturk changed Turkey in unimaginable ways. Upon gaining independence after WWI, he set about to vigorously modernise his country. Customs and traditions that had endured for centuries were gotten rid of so that Turkey could modernise in a similar way that European countries had. The most prominent reforms of Ataturk concerned the nation's relationship with Islam. A staunch advocate of secularism, Ataturk sought to relegate the role of religion to the private sphere.

      Kamal Atajew was a Sabatian jew and a direct descendant of the false messiah Sabatai Zwi. He was indoctrinated with the cabalistic indoctrination by his cabalist jewish teacher/priest Şemsi Efendi(real name Simon Zwi who was also a descendant of Sabatai Zwi) in his school from the time he began studying there. Only the Jewish students were admitted and studied in Simon Zwi's school as it was a religious school with the aim to educate or rather indoctrinate the children of the Sabatean Jewish families. The journalist Hasan Tahsin(aka Osman Nevres) and the finance minister Cavit bey were also Sabatian jews who studied in Simon Zwi's school. Şemsi Efendi was a father figure for kamal atajew who assisted him to get acquainted with the other Sabataist jews while they walked the same path in the enmity and hatred of Islam.
      Later on in his life kamal atajew was a british agent to dismantle caliphate and destroy Ottoman when Ottoman was weakened after kamal atajew fled the Palestine front by retreating and retrieving the 7th army without informing the 4th and 8th army commanders that helped british besiege and entrap the 4th and 8th armies and enabled british to take over Palestine that would initiate the destruction of Ottoman for being forced to sign Montreux and the delegate to sign Montreux was kamal atajew's close friend Rauf Orbay advised strictly by kamal atajew in a top secret telegraph from Bahçe the subcity of Adana that was to be after forming Izzet Pasha cabinet. The british agent kamal atajew is a deceptive crypto jew and a fierce enemy of islam.

      Yeah he was a necessary evil because Ottomans works with the principles of Islam, and it's not Islam fault in that. When Ottoman participate in WW1 as axis power, they got a bad reputation. World view them as something evil after WW1. Some even think their culture is evil and their religion too. To make his people stand up he abolished Islam and Ottoman culture to made the European think, “hey we're not like Ottomans we're “modern” now”. IMO abolishing religious values and practices is bad as Europeans never saw their religion as bad and backwards they put religion and culture aside, and modern advancement aside. But Ataturk make culture and religion gone and make something only for Turks not for anyone

Turks weren’t even a country that had any impact in the Middle East during the 70s up till the 2014 when Erdogan with an Islamic party turned Turkey upside down and made something out of it .. Today Turks should be more idolizing Erdogan than ataturk who brought them the fake superior race ideas that brought them nothing but isolation from the world ..

In response, Atatürk asked "Is there no verse in the hadith or Qur'an that says Alcohol is prohibited? If so, which ones?" The Imam which couldn't answer the question said "Sir, I do not know how to read or write. I became an Imam because I had no job and I went to a Mektep when I was young."

    As a Turk, I hate the ummatists who are hostile to the Turkish identity, linking the Turks only to the Ottoman Empire and the caliphate. Ottoman and caliphate are part of Turkish history. There were Turks before the Ottomans, and there were Turks before Islam. Today, there are Christian, atheist, deist, agnostic, Shiite, Sunni Turks. Atatürk is a great soldier who spent most of his life fighting for the Ottoman Empire. Turks respect great soldiers. Without Atatürk, there would be no Istanbul, Izmir and Thrace Turks today. Thanks to the Turkish war of independence he organized, we have such a beautiful state.

Pakistanis and Afghans are constantly hostile to Atatürk, but they do nothing against the ignorance that destroys their own country. They come to secular Turkey they hate and harass Turkish girls.

Turks weren’t even a country that had any impact in the Middle East during the 70s up till the 2014 when Erdogan with an Islamic party turned Turkey upside down and made something out of it .. Today Turks should be more idolizing Erdogan than ataturk who brought them the fake superior race ideas that brought them nothing but isolation from the world ..

    There are people in the Muslim world who, for ideological- religious dogmatic reasons, hate this great man.
    Like any other great leader, Ataturk had his flaws, mistakes and shortcomings. However, Türkiye is different and more progressive than most Muslim-majority countries for the very reason that it started the forming 20th century with a leader like Ataturk.

But for then when the state was young, like a child has to be often punished and guided by parents, he had to take control often and guide his nation towards the 'right' path.

    Based on the comments written here, and in response to some points the narrator didn't understand, I will provide a brief summary: Although Atatürk may seem like a leader with complex and inconsistent thoughts, the key to understanding lies in the political rhetoric prevailing worldwide during his time, such as fascism and ethnic nationalism. What makes Atatürk great is not only his planned reforms and military background but also his pragmatic success in implementing these reforms. Also, in comments section I saw some unrealistic stances (muslim out-siders), saying that "let's not abolish the caliphate, but rather establish a softer form of secularism". Well, this would have had disastrous consequences in the uneducated and susceptible society inherited from the Ottoman era(less than 10% literacy) turning Turkey into a mere cesspool in the Middle East. Last but not least: I can talk with you about this topic until morning. I have read more than 10 books about Atatürk, and currently, I am studying political science :)

    Even if he had preserved it- what good would such a position be in the political context of the middle east in the 20th century? The Gulf Arabs wouldn't listen and would have used their wealth to overthrow and destabilise the country.

    The steel-colored brightness of [his] eyes shines out of the warrior-like, sunburned brown of [his] face with an uncanny, captivating power. Eyes, within which the supple power and the ruthless will of self-assertion of the Turanian grey wolf twin- kles." Be it Aryan, Turanian, or even Mongolian, or, again perhaps obviously, Prussian-when, in the narratives, Atatürk meets the Kai- ser, Hindenburg, and Ludendorff in 1917-what his appearance and actions reaffirmed was the awakening and the "triumph of race." Schopen concluded:
    He is nothing less than the incarnation of all warrior-like na- tions. The Turk is, in his moral qualities, one of the best sol- diers of the world. For him the victorious military Führer stands above everything else. And Mustafa Kemal, mathematician and carrier of soldier blood from his father's line, was a genius of the strategic idea."7
    For most of these texts, Atatürk was the ultimate warrior-"battle was his nature."+ Froembgen described him as "a thunderstorm turned man." Melzig said in his Atatürk biography: "In him a he- roic spirit rose to the light from the depth of thousands of years." Froembgen also stressed, "He is a soldier the like of which seldom comes along." Atatürk's prowess in battle was stressed time and again: "The soldiers hesitated to throw themselves into the rain of death. Mustafa Kemal knows, here no order will be enough, here one needs to be a role model, to be a Führer."52 The Führer as a role model for everybody-in battle, for the Turkish farmer with his model farm, but also for the ordinary Turk, when it comes to demeanor, dress, and indeed everything-was a constant theme of these texts.53
    Descriptions of Atatürk's aura elevated him to messianistic levels. With his deeds at Gallipoli during World War I, Atatürk emerges in these narratives not only as the imminent savior of Constantino- ple but as a transcendental "savior." Indeed, the formula "savior and Führer" was frequently put forward by some texts. Some stressed that one could feel a special aura, "a magic circle," in his presence he was "the chosen one."
