ARTICLES RELATED TO Islam in Turkey - Islam's history in Turkey | | | |  Islam in Turkey - Islam's history in Turkey: Encyclopedia II - Islam in Turkey - Islam's history in TurkeyBy the end of the seventh century, conversion to Islam had begun among the Turkish-speaking tribes, who were migrating westward from Central Asia. The initial wave of Turkish migrants converted to Sunni Islam and became champions of Islamic orthodoxy.

Beginning in the twelfth century, new waves of Turkic migrants many of whom belonged to Sufi orders, some of ...

| | | | Islam in Turkey - Islam's history in Turkey: Encyclopedia II - Islam in Turkey - Retreat from Secularism The expectation of the secular ruling elite that the policies of the 1920s and 1930s would diminish the role of religion in public life did not materialize. As early as 1925, religious grievances were one of the principal causes of the Seyh Sait rebellion, an uprising in southeastern Turkey that may have claimed as many as 30,000 lives before being suppressed. Following the relaxation of authoritarian political controls in 1946, large numbers of people began to call openly for a return to traditional religious practice. During the 1950s, even certain political leaders found it expedient to join relig ...

| | | | Islam in Turkey - Islam's history in Turkey: Encyclopedia II - Islam in Turkey - Status of Religious Freedom The Constitution provides for freedom of religion, and the Government generally respects this right in practice; however, the Government imposes some restrictions on Muslim and other religious groups and on Muslim religious expression in government offices and state-run institutions, including universities, usually for the stated reason of preserving the "secular state."

| | | | Islam in Turkey - Islam's history in Turkey: Encyclopedia II - Islam in Turkey - Secularist Policies In 1922 the new nationalist regime abolished the Ottoman sultanate, and in 1924 it abolished the caliphate, the religious office that Ottoman sultans had held for four centuries. Thus, for the first time in Islamic history, no ruler claimed spiritual leadership of Islam. The withdrawal of Turkey, heir to the Ottoman Empire, as the presumptive leader of the world Muslim community was symbolic of the change in the government's relationship to Islam. Indeed, secularism or laicism (laiklik ) became one of the "Six Arrows" of Atatürk's program f ...

| | | | Islam in Turkey - Islam's history in Turkey: Encyclopedia II - Islam in Turkey - The Alevi A significant Shi'a minority lives in Turkey. As in the Ottoman period, a census of the Shi'a population has never been taken in the republican period. Thus, there is no accurate information on the size of the Shi'a community, which has been estimated to constitute as little as 7 percent and as much as 30 percent of Turkey's total population. Sunni in Turkey tend to refer to all Shi'as as Alevi. In actuality, Alevi constitute but one of four Shi'a sects in the country.
