The control of the Presidency of Religious Affairs over mosques is being debated. Arslan Tekin questions how communities use mosques in Turkey. This article emphasizes that mosques are not only places of worship but also venues for community recruitment.

Tekin points out that the preachers and imams of the Diyanet do not visit these mosques, and that community leaders perform duties in these mosques. He also questions Diyanet's intervention in the translation of the Qur'an and the restrictions on hadiths.

Questioning whether madrasahs are under the control of Diyanet, Tekin wonders why these institutions exist and how they are supervised. He criticizes Diyanet's stance on this issue.
