Over the past decade or so, a number of secular critics and Muslim activists of the
Islamist social movement in Turkey have described the political conflicts dominating
Turkish social life in cultural terms, as a struggle between incompatible cultural
orders. A rich variety of similes have been used to describe the clash and its
protagonists: black and white Turks, Islamist untouchables, Turkey's Negroes, even
transgendered secularists (Western souls in Turkish bodies). This narrative
construction leads to a number of unhelpful generalizations, all of which serve to
obscure the merging shades of grey between Islamists and secularists. It also
overemphasizes the efficacy of the civilizing project of the Turkish state. The
article argues that the term `legislating virtue' better captures the complexity of
contemporary political conflict.
