Well said. Secularism began under the Ottoman khalifas. Kemal Attaturk finished off what they began.
Our beloved emir Atatürk was not always right. He expelled the Greek community of Turkey. Totally wrong. Greeks are our brothers.
Those greek bastards tried to take advantage of the chaos of the Ottoman defeat, they made up more than half of the coast the greeks were living in cities like Smyrna nearly 3000 years , the muslims never interfered with them.
When they had their chance what did they do? they started ethnically cleaning the cities insuring the muslim half of the population were either dead or living in refugee camps. They massacred thousands and raped even even more to instill terror so people would run for their lives and then they looted all their property.
At this time the Ottoman empire was dead, the British had a small army in Istanbul and the navy was their as well.
The Sultan was a british puppet issuing orders at gunpoint.
What is today Turkey was divided up by the western powers with the greeks allocated most of it, france had a big chare too and the british, the Italians were given a chunk of the coast too. Attaturk and the Independence movement regrouping in Ankara had 4 foriegn armies that were occupying the country to deal with.
Lucky for them they found an ally in the new Soviet government in 1920 that was also facing an invasion of several armies and a civil war with loyalists as well.
The found in the Turkish nationalists a perfect opportunity to distract the west and proceeded to troll them by recognizing them and then smuggling in 200,000 mosin nagant rifiles and their ammunition from spare stocks.
Attarturk and is movement used this well, they lured the Greeks into a series of traps and then defeated them,
then they moved towards the cities like smyrna and gave the greeks a taste of their own medicine , by massacring them.
They then moved south and defeated the french, after this the Italians got scared shitless and signed a deal and withdrew.
The british also decided to call it quits and the you had the treaty of laussane which gaurenteed the Turkey you have today.
Attatruk did not destroy the title of Sultan or the khalifate,
it was already dead by 1919.
He just formalized it.
So yes the damn greeks got what they deserved.
