Yes, Turkey has a 90% Muslim population but of those 90%, only half are probably practising their religion, much like most Americans are nominally Christian but not necessarily devout people. In Turkey people would look at you if you dressed that way. Only radical fringe groups dress like that, and there is a strict separation between religion and state. A man dressed like that in his free time would never be tolerated in the Army, especially not in a high position such as this man held....but I digress, this thread is not about Turkish Muslims and the way they dress. Even most Palestininans wouldn´t walk around dressed like that. It´s obvious and plain to see from the way that this man dresses what his attitude is. They should have spoken to him waaaay before this happened. So many American soldiers of Muslim descent get bullied and harrassed by their comrades, and even non-Muslim soldiers get bullied when they criticize some other soldiers´ behaviour but the Army seems to be blind when it comes to these issues.This tragedy was bound to happen. Either they´re very idiotic or they´re doing certain things on purpose. Weird, in this country and particularly in the city I live in MANY in the Muslim community wear their traditional religious robes and no one even bats an eyelash. Clothing certainly doesn't raise any suspicions around these parts. Same here. We have a sizable muslim population, most Somali refugees but others as well, and no one considers traditional dress anything to take note of. |
