Turkey's Culture


Turkey's culture is very rich. There are 98% of Turks are Muslims, 6% are Kurdish, Greek Orthodox, Roman and Eastern Catholic, and Jewish. Turkey's major religion is Muslim. Islamic(Muslim) religion is strict monotheism- or the belief in one God. Muslims' religion is much like Christianity, both believe in the same God and have a messenger for their God. For Muslims it would be Muhammad, for Christans it would be Jesus.
Islamic religion helps Turkey with its trade to other countries with a majority of Muslims in them. Islamic helps with money as well because other Muslims come to turkey to Istanbul. Instanbul is a major "must have" to Muslim religion.
