Once the change of situation is taken into account of, they would have understood why the changes were made and how they were based on already existing Torah laws.

Try again.
I don't understand. The torah pre-dated 70AD doesn't it? If the laws that caused the cessation of offerings where a exsisting part of the Torah then why where these laws not followed before 70AD?

Not a peeps out of you in all of those words of Erdogan's clear veering towards Islamisization.
You can't really Islamisize a Islamic country.

Like I said: "The changes in political secularism [in Turkey] reflect the constantly waxing and waining religious conservatism in Turkey."
There have been sevral periods of increaced Islamic conservatism in Turkey and sevral periods of increaced progressive Islam.

As in the history of Hindu, Jewish and Christian cultures, empowered women where very much the exception rather than the rule in Islamic cultures.
