    Female flight attendants at Turkey’s national airline have been banned from wearing red lipstick and nail polish, prompting renewed fears from secular Turks the country is becoming more Islamic.

    is it only a matter of time before it will apply to female passengers as well?

    That's a ridiculous deduction to make.

    People who work with food aren't supposed to wear nail varnish or make up either..Does that mean the food industry is islamic?

    You aren't allowed to wear make-up working in lots of places. What's your point?

    I remember reading an article on efforts in Turkey from some quarters to downplay the significance of Ataturk. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was the Turkish commander at the battle of Gallipoli and he went on to found modern Turkey and is the reason it so staunchly secular.

    The situation reminds me of recent efforts in Texas to downplay the role Thomas Jefferson, and upplay the role of more conservative people in the American civil war. Jefferson being one of the main people behind the separation of church and state in the US.

    Recently they stopped serving alcohol on certain routes as there apparently was little demand for it. However most us companies that have conservative values only allow employees to have hair that is a natural colour and not dyed so its not just an "Islamic thing"
