Turkey's two lifestyles

Turkey's two lifestyles: one religious, one secular

At five o'clock most mornings, the elite of Kayseri are already up and working out

"We always start very early,"

"Kayseri is known as a conservative city, but it's entrepreneurial too,"

"Our businessmen are reformist - open to change - and we keep our religion out of our work."

Town of kayseri

Pious places like the town of Kayseri are on the rise

people like Mr Hasyuncu are prospering they are creating a new, conservative middle class and becoming more prominent

In strictly secular Turkey, that makes some people nervous

Are we really a threat to the system?

Secular Turks are trying to label us as something we're not

If there is a symbol of all that worries secular Turks, it is the Islamic headscarf and in conservative Kayseri covered women are a common sight.

"We face this kind of attitude very often and it makes us very uncomfortable," Emine says. "I don't think my scarf is a threat to anyone. But what can we do? It would take a miracle to change things here."
