In
1984 a branch was opened in
Germany to cater for the religious needs of the large Turkish minority there.
The Diyanet has made a name for itself with a liberal interpretation of the
Qur'an and the
hadith. A recent example is the permission of training women as preachers. In March
2005 two women were appointed as vice-
mufti in
Kayseri and
Istanbul.
