Sultan Gökan I has condemned this "Hajj Law", stating that not only will it serve as a drain on Turkish manpower, but will also hidner the secularisation of the Empire. Grand Vizier Yusef Kaya has also recently started a program of mass-secularisation in the Empire, for example supporting the printing of copies of books promoting Atheism such as The God Delusion in protest to this law. He has also stated that any refugee fleeing from Caliphate persecution will be welcome to settle in Turkey.

In the meantime, mass demonstrations have occured across the empire, some condemning the actions of the Caliphate and some condeming the actions of the Grand Vizier.
