"THERE IS HOSTILITY TOWARD SHARIA"

"There is a hostility toward Sharia staged under different masks. Hostility toward Sharia, which represents the entirety of Islam's rules regarding life, is in essence hostility toward the religion itself," said Erdoğan, adding, "Whether to believe or not, whether to live by it or not, is of course a matter of choice.
