Atatürk was against bigortry, not against religion. He advocated the Islam described in the Qur'an and he set an example with his attitude that did not favor any sect over the others. Atatürk laid a solid ground for the system of Mahdi. Atatürk set a great example with his refined manners, quality and sophistication. He had copies of the Qur’an distributed in Anatolia and had the Qur’an translated into Turkish. He spearheaded the spread of true Islam as described in the Qur’an. - Harun Yahya
