Women were given the same opportunity as men recognizing the country as the world's first women Supreme Court Justice. It is evident that in all walks of life, Mustafas' Turkeys produced thousands of well-educated women who participated in the national life as doctors, engineers, teachers, administrators and lawyers (Landau, 2009).

How Mustafa kemal Ataturk made a modern country from the Islamic

However the Turkey seldom figured in Islamic or Muslim disclosure, the nation remained five centuries as the center of the Muslim world until Mustafa abolished the Caliphate-office of the successors to Prophet Mohammed, the supreme politico-religious office of Islam, and symbol of the Turkey sultan's claim to world leadership of all Muslims was abolished. Despite the fact that 98% of the Turkey's populations were officially Muslim, only 20% of the population practiced Muslim (Walker, Erol & Erol, 2006). The Turkish government on the other hand, had more freedom to pursue policies which attacked Islamic Institutions. Under the guise of "cleaning Islam of political interference," the educational system was finally overhauled. As, a result, Islamic education was banned in favor of secular and non-dogmatic schools. It is also evident that other aspects of religious infrastructure were as well torn down (Atatu-rk & Aksan, 2008).
