After they returned to Europe, for some convenient little political intrigues, the Masons were branded as heretics and their leader was tortured...I forget his name...Jacques de Molay perhaps...and so their movement stayed underground and low key until the time of the Sinclairs and the building of the Rosslyn "church" in Scotland.

But in reality, Freemasonry dates back to the times of ancient Egypt. I highly recommend you read "The Hiram Key" for anyone who's interested in this.

I've read all those theories on the origins of the Masons..i'm still not convinced.

c)He/She simply mocks and makes fun of, derides, rejects etc...anything from Shari'ah.

Now you can figure for yourself which of these apply to Ataturd. Ma'salamah.
Ummmmmmmm none of that applies to what he did. I think people like you help me to understand why people in the middle east kill each other over such petty differences. Also, who made up that list? I am curious. If it was you, and you are just pulling things out of you know where, please put them back. And, like I said, who the hell gave you the right to call anyone kaffir?

The Quran itself....and since you reject hadith then you must take the word 'kaffir' in it's absolute sense whenever its mentioned in the quran...

So the Quran gave you the right to be a judgemental ***** who calls people kaffir? That list did NOT come from the Quran. The prophet did NOT intend for his ummah to run around calling their fellow muslims kaffir over every single little meaningless difference in belief. Grow up. Who said I rejected hadith? I reject hadith that are obviously tained or stupid.

Who the hell gave you the right to tell me not to call a kaafir a kaafir. Or better yet who the freak are you put a moral constraint on me. If you don't like what I say just get with it, everyone on this forum have the right to express their opinions dip sh*t.

As for issue of takfir open classical works for your convenience...oh wait you are too incompetent for that.

English must not be your first language. A moral constraint? NOT calling people Kaffir is a moral constraint? subhanallah, every time I think muslims hit a new low.

So you are saying the prophet said to call people kaffir, then he said not to? Which is it?

It is said that Ataturk wasn't really a Muslim, but a crypto-Jew from the Doenme, who were an underground sect of Sabbetaians. The Sabbetaians were Turkish Jews who took Muslim names and outwardly behaved like Muslims but secretly believed in Sabbetai Zevi, the 17th-century false messiah, and conducted carefully guarded prayers and rituals in his name:
