According to Ataturk modernity was valued and represented as not wearing any religious dress or being non-religious. So he ordered what cloths Turkey’s citizens should wear. The traditional garb of local religious leaders was outlawed. The fez (Turkish hat) was banned for men and the veil and hijab (headscarves) were discouraged and restricted for women.

Atatrk and his colleagues even wanted to Turkify Islam. They ordered Muslims to use the Turkish word Tanri instead of Allah for God and use the Turkish language in Salaath (the 5 times prayers) and Azaan (the call for prayers). These preposterous changes deeply disturbed the faithful Muslims and caused widespread resentment, which led in 1933 to a return to the Arabic version of the call to prayer.
After some time the Atatrk regime moved towards more extreme measures. Ataturk prohibited religious education. The existing mosques were turned into museums or used for the regimes secular purposes.

Ataturk rose because of the failures of the Ottoman Khilafat. And the people had had enough of the Khilafat and the Sultans. Not only did this man go to incredible lengths to distance turkey from its Ottoman heritage, he even changed the entire Language. Perhaps Pakistan too needs something of that sorts of movement. It is drastic. However the state pakistan is in, it needs something drastic. Ataturk was a visionary. He was no King, Khalifah or Emperor - just a man who had a plan. ;) Sort of like Mohammad Ali Jinnah. Only Jinnah died early, Ataturk died after his reforms.

Must commend Ataturk for recognizing the rise of Secularism. A man who had had enough of the Tyranny of religion. He stripped the power from the Clergy and Khalifah who were already on their last breaths. Think of it this way, Ataturk was also the Will of God for that time. ;)
