I have been in closest contact with both.
As an 'institution' I find Islam as rotten and 'mis-used' as Christian -and partly Buddhist- organizations as well.
(I meanwhile think that honest faith needs no club membership)
The Turks... I only met them in Germany - where the (younger) men are macho posers, and the girls are quite sexy.
Overall: no major complaints :)

Hmm... what "should" you think of a religion that calls for death to anyone who "blasphemes" the name of their prophet, or threatens anyone who speaks out against their religion? I will be told "no, these are only the fanatics", but they kill their own as well. I do believe there are many peace loving Muslims, but I also believe their prophet was a pedophile shyster and evil person.
turks? I don't know they're just normal people
muslims? if they're progressive idc they're fine, if they're like more trad regressive ones don't really like them

I met a Turkish girl and I noticed about how she desperately tries to show that she is a European. I found it funny and got somewhat angry when she tried to show some prejudice to an Asian guy. I felt bad, so I told her "You're Asian too. Europe doesn't count Turkey as one of their countries. 97% of you country stands in Asia, and there's absolutely nothing bad about it, please understand that." She never talked with me again. Later I found out that a lot of Turks call themselves European.
Neutral. I don't know much about the Turks and I don't particularly approve of any religion, Islam included. I think all religions are an excuse for violence and ignorance, holding humanity back from achieving its true potential. But Islam isn't any worse than Christianity, Taoism, Greek mythology, etc.
I’m biased against Islam which is an arcane religion that breeds violence- especially against women. But I try not to have any preconceived notions of people, no matter where they’re from.
Btw- also biased against all religions. But Islam is worst.I think Turks are Asians like me :). I think Sunni Islam is bad. I think Shia Islam is ok. I am a little biased.
Islam sucks and should be abandoned. Most religions are annoying, but only one is a global cancer.
Turks? I dunno, they seem cool I guess.
I dislike Islam above all other religions.I think individually, they should be just the same as most people. Unfortunately they believe in a pernicious religion which propagates evil.
I quite like Turks I don’t see a problem with them I have a couple of half Turkish friends.
truthfully I can’t stand Islam as a religionI got nothing against them personally. My Armenian colleagues feel differently for some reason.
It's better than my white crap they try and preach here in UK
Islam Is good. turkey is good
