YENICEKOY, Turkey - Everyone in the Turkish village of Yenicekoy is Muslim. They have a mosque, but no one goes there. It is the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, but no one is fasting.
Turkey�s Alevis are one of Islam�s most liberal sects. They sing and play mystical music at religious ceremonies attended by men and women. They drink alcohol, do not fast and do not go on pilgrimage to Mecca. "
