Ata-tatt
More young people in Turkey are getting tattoos... of the "founder" of secular Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. Writes Liz Leslie at Muslim Voices, the increase in popularity of Ataturk tattoos is credited to the upcoming constitutional referendum which could bring the conservative Justice & Development Party (AKP) into greater power. Tattoos are "generally considered haram, or forgidden under Islamic law," writes Leslie.
