Why do you hate Ataturk?

[Anonymous]

All the educated, modern, secular Turks love Ataturk (father of the Turks). But all the islamists who support shariah laws hate him in Turkey.

Well, the islamists have every reason to hate him. Atatürk ended the sultanate and the caliphate, pushed for an own Turkish language, ended Arab traditions, ordered people to wear Western clothing and made modern Turkey a secular country. He even drank alcohol, which also lead to his early death. Had his governing been longer and thus more influential, I am sure Turkey would never had the AKP and Erdogan.

Why you assume that I hate Ataturk? it's Erdogan the islamist who should be hated.
