I htink its a great thing that they are in the process of lifting the ban.
As for the Ataturk thing, I think there was only one person cursing him. If I was contstrued as cursing and whatnot then I apologise, i personally have no love for the mans ideals or personal habits, i also have not read anything to suggest he was a muslim. However I will acknowledge the good he did in feeding the starving of Turkey(see Mossads post).
Ataturk and his successors are responsible for the state of religion in Turkey today.
