Abstract
This chapter indicates some criticisms on human rights, after which it goes into the relation between human rights and Islam. It deals with the state of human rights in Turkey. In order to prepare for the empirical research on human rights and religion in Turkey, the chapter accounts for the method used, including the measuring instruments. After that it reports on the results of the research and concludes with a discussion on the research and its results. From this particular data set, a differentiated picture regarding the impact of religion on human rights attitudes emerges. This differentiated picture may be explained by some broader concepts, the first pair of which is conventionalism and post-conventionalism. Human rights in general are part of this post-conventionalism, which may be considered contrary to the orientation of conventionalism that permeates Turkey's society. Keywords: conventionalism; human rights; Islam; Turkey
