First of all, because I choose not to. Second it's forbidden to wear scarf in schools and state buildings.
Majority of people are muslim in Turkey but Turkey is not a muslim country. Countries don't have religions (or shouldn't anyway), but people. Moreover, Turkey is a modern country and our interpretation of Islam may quite be different from yours. You do not have the right to criticize this.

Two things: the restriction only applies to "state" environments and many Turkish Muslim woman do not wear them anyway as they do not feel it is a religious requirement. Turkish people are primarily Muslim, but there is a strict church/state separation, which helps to explain why Turkey is considered a moderate Muslim nation. Women are not allowed to wear the head scarves in state schools, universities, even in the government offices and positions (the state environments mentioned). This does not apply in private settings of course. This was the way the republic was created by Ataturk as a way of denying religious fundamentalism and keeping Turkey a westward thinking nation.

Turkey is a relatively moderate Muslim country. I think they are undergoing a process of trying to separate the state from religion. I guess the teacher was told to take off the scarf because they don't want religion in schools or something.

Turkey is a muslim country but we are a democracy so we do not have rules that are based on religion. women can choose if they wish to wear the headscarf or not. however now that we are trying to join the european union, people are trying to be more european, getting rid of all traditional religion rules. the teacher was forced to take it off because it is a school so we are trying to educate children in that, headscarf is not an important aspect of our religion...

because Turkish ppl r muslim but Turkey has no any religion. All religious symbols r illegal in Turkey. it is not secularism it is different than secularism its name is Laïcité in france, Lâik in Turkish
i think only two countries r lâik or Laïcité in the world. France (mostly Christian people) and Turkey (mostly Muslim people)
and this is better

Why carry out a little grown men throw acid on youthful women whilst they do no longer positioned on a hijab? some all human beings is threatened whilst others do no longer adhere to their very own ideals. If all human beings would desire to stay with what they think for themselves and permit others the comparable priviledge there would be no subjects. I responded a query the different day saying it is going to no longer be such a controversy see you later as its a call and have been given an e mail from a guy retaining it is going to no longer be my selection as in his recommendations god has spoken of course what I would desire to do and that's positioned on one. i'm no longer a follower of Islam and that i do no longer in my view have any desire to gown like that so its doubtful to me why it relatively is going to likely be imposed on others. it extremely is the actual crux of the project. the different difficulty that does arise now and back is girls people who're radicals and use the drapy garment to conceal weapons or conceal their id. it relatively is an occasion of a few undesirable apples making problems for others. there is not any credible evidence on your supernatural ideals. in case you decide directly to stay with them for your self it extremely is nice. i do no longer locate them conceivable and opt to no longer. If i'm incorrect and there's a god its between me and the god. Islam isn't for me. i'll gown as I want and you and people who persist with Islam would desire to do the comparable. no person would desire to be impelling every person right here. Your reaction extremely exhibits your very own bias and soreness with people who do no longer gown as you think of precise and share your ideals. So take a glance at your question back. you're responsible of the comparable sort of blunders you attempt to intend contained in the question.

They can wear hijab, but Turkey is a pretty secular muslim country, meaning religious laws are not enforced.

because in turkey most ppl that wear scarfs use this as political symbol and it leads to dangerous matters. therefore to prevent this to happen they are not allowed to wear scarf or any other religious symbol in formal places, such as, schools, university's, hospitals, Parliament.
