Saudi Arabia’s MBC channel quotes a Turkish sheikh as complaining about the fact that large Turkish mosques are now tourist attractions, and millions of half-naked women (the headline says “naked”) are now descending to the holy places.
The sheikh of the mosque of Suleiman the Magnificent said that some mosques are starting to enforce dress codes, including veils, to stop this problem.
He also says that Turkish women are eager to wear the veil in the streets, even as they are banned from wearing it in parliament.
The sheikh, who is a member of Erdogan’s political party, also said that Turkey under Erdogan has regained its prestige and standing in the Arab and Muslim world. He said that its leadership was behind the Mavi Marmara, and made martyrs for the Palestinian cause, and for Islamic Jerusalem.
