%X This article traces the origins of various proposals tonationalize Islam in Turkey. The initial Turkish proposals failedbecause none of them had a feasible philosophical base to facilitatethe co-existence of Islam and secularism. Aside from the previousstudies on the nationalization of Islam, this article carries the topic to the Cold War by arguing that the Turkish-Islamic Synthesis wasthe last stage on the nationalization of Islam. Since TIS had novision to alter the official ideology, Kemalism, and it claimed thecompatibility of Islam, nationalism, secularism as well asKemalism, it fulfilled the need of a national religion the Turkishstate envisioned but it created a de facto Turkish national identitythat made Islam a prerequisite for Turkishness.//// Bu makale T¨¹rkiye¡¯de dinin millilestirilmesi ile ilgili farkl projeleri i ermektedir.  lk  nerilen projeler  slam ve laikli inbirarada yasayabilmesini sa layabilecek felsefi temelden yoksunolduklar  i in basar l  olamam slard r.
