"Turkish Society's Perception of the West" (Seta Yayınları: 2008), a study conducted by Bekir Berat Özipek, İbrahim Kalın and myself, tried to find answers to these questions. The study employed in-depth interviews with more than 90 participants who were selected from among ordinary people in 10 provinces across Turkey, and the interviews contained questions that inquired into the perceptions that have recently dominated Western public opinion.
To sum these results up, in the first approach
to Christianity, participants tend to use a reverent language toward
Christianity. The second approach defines Christianity as "a different
religion." The third approachhighlights that Christianity "has been
distorted."
