Tension erupted over a two-day international rock concert at Istanbul Bilgi University in mid-July that kicked off just before Ramadan began. Just half an hour before the concert an alcohol ban was enforced by University authorities under pressure from the Islamist-rooted ruling AK Party.

Influential Islamic intellectual Hayrettin Karaman sees voluntary segregation as a way to defuse tension over Istanbul's different ways of life. "Those who don't believe in Islam can freely live according to their own beliefs. But if this kind of living will negatively affect the life, morality, religiousness and the education of new Muslim generations, measures need to be taken to create 'special regions' for their improper actions," Karaman wrote August 12 in the Islamic Daily Yeni Safak.
"Now, we live with many people side by side in an apartment building, on a street, in a neighborhood, from gays to drunks, to unmarried couples," Karaman continued. "A Muslim won't like these actions, they hate them and if there is opportunity, he keeps the intention to correct and prevent these actions."
