There are many female mainland Turks in TRNC who wear just a headscarf to represent their belief. There are also a lesser amount who wear the full cover-up and I have seen these poor individuals suffeing in the summer heat while their husbands wear slacks and a short sleeved shirt. I have commented on this to TC friends who just shake their heads in bewilderment. Turkish Cypriots are nowhere as devout (if at all) as mainland Turks and are mostly very western in outlook and fashion.
Turkish Cypriots are usually muslims but this is mostly just in name rather than conviction.

Here is his site:

He has hardly any TC followers (if any). Most of his Murids that live with him are foreigners many from Germany, Denmark and Turkey.

So how many are left out of the 300,000 that live in the "trnc"?

Hence my comment, the Turks in Cyprus are VERY DEVOUT!

Black sheeps are in every community. The western media portray these black sheep as exemplary Muslims to mislead their people to justify there war on terror which has been killed 100’s of thousand people because the western media Like CNN, BCC and FOX news are influenced and owned by those Criminals in suites funded by Israeli lobby.

If you are judging here some Muslims who are criminal that’s fine but if you want to judge a religion then you must go to the root source for example for Islam is Quran and traditions of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and The Bible for Christians and so on.

If Adolf Hitler insulated 6 million Jews, we can not blame Christianity for it. we will have to go to root source which is Bible to find if it preaches to kill innocent people.

If there is some people killing innocent people on the name of Islam. You should go to root source which is Quran to see if it allows the followers to kill innocent people. In the case if Islam, it is prohibited to kill innocent human being unless it is for murder or spreading the mischief in the land.

If you want to know about any religion, you should not go to anti religious websites or whatever you listen on media but to know from the authenticate source then decide for yourselves.

There is no world “Holy War” mentioned in the Quran and yet one friend mention in the article from CNN that young Muslims are fighting Holy War Against west which is nothing but to mislead people

Please explain the term "jihad".

See:

Whilst you are at it perhaps you could shed some light on the concept of 'fitna', which I suspect is what you are referring to by 'spreading mischief', and which, as you say, constiutes sufficient grounds for a human being to be killed.

Tim,
