TESTIMONIALS - Guests talk about their travels in Turkey (2)

TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND 
Six months ago, I knew next to nothing about Islam. Any knowledge I thought I had
was based primarily on the media’s portrayal of Islam since September 11th, 2001, a
predominately Arabic and militant version. Thus, I knew even less about Turkish Islam.
Therefore, I set out on a path of enlightenment without realizing that such knowledge
would require change as well.
