Are Turks the only nation that was never idol worshippers?

[Anonymous]

I mean before Islam Turks believed in the only sky god they called “Tengri”

[Goforit1010]

Never idol worshipers? Baloney! The Bible clearly states that several churches Paul went to in Turkey, actually worshiped "dumb idols" as Paul called them. Corinth was one of those places!

[Asker]

I meant Turks in Central Asia, not in Anatolia.

what do you mean? they're mostly muslims. so they are xD Allah is an idol.

[Asker]

Their ancestors before the 11th century weren’t Muslims tho.

[Asker]

What do you mean by “Allah is an idol” tho?

[genericname85]

Gods are idols. By definition. Every culture always had some sort of idols. Maybe it was more regional and diverse back then. Not so no globalist and unified.

[Asker]

Turks never worshipped idols. They believed in Tengrism and the only god they called “Tengri” and believed to be in sky. by the way I heard of saying like this: “At the time when Arabs worshipped idols, Turks looked at the sky.”

[Asker]

An “idol” is an object worshipped. So Allah can’t be an idol.

[Asker]

Allah has no image in Islam

[Asker]

Jews worshipped a calf for instance.

[Asker]

Christianity is considered to carry some idol-worshipper elements as well. Especially Roman Catholics, since they prostrate to the depictions of Jesus, Mary and saints. Even Christmas is celebrated at the same very day when an idol-worshipper festival would be celebrated in ancient Rome.

idols are objects, figurines or dieties/gods that a culture worships. the christian god is also an idol.

[genericname85]

also turkey originated later than quran. so the turkish people were muslims for all the time they were called turks.

[genericname85]

before that, the people on that landmass worshipped tengri

[Dargil]

I don't care.

[Asker]

Okay. So why make a comment?

[Dargil]

Because I choose to.

[Asker]

But you are saying you don’t care?

[SiberFox]

Tengri is Mongol

[Asker]

Turks in the Central Asia believed in Tengri as well as Mongols

[SiberFox]

Yeah, because the mongols overthrew most kingdoms and empires from the china sea to the black sea.

[Blueoceanna]

Tengri is not mongol. Mongolians say Burkhan. So Tengri / Tanrı is Turk
