[ShahRukh]

Subcontinental Islam has not accepted (and neither will i'A) western colonialism whether it is in the form of education, culture, dress code, ethics, etc., and rightly so i believe. This goes for both deoband, brailvi, and even the ahle-hadith sects. The fact that they still view jeans, suit/tie, etc. as elements of western cultural hegemony. Whereas many Turks have succumbed to western imperialistic values by force after the destruction of the Caliphate, even many of their religious scholars are not free such influences...modern turk Imam's and scholars leading prayers without beards and in western dress are a reflection of that.


Not to mention...Turks are probably the most humble and well-mannered muslims I have ever met.
