Etap (district) and 4.Etap. Başakşehir, as a gated community, is a place where the religious residents can freely lead their Islamic lifestyles with other religious people like themselves and enjoy many opportunities it has to offer. However, the class distinction between 1.Etap and 4.Etap creates a controversy in between. Especially their different lifestyles which manifest themselves most clearly in their consumption patterns lead a hostile relationship between two Etaps. While the most crucial factor of the differences in their lifestyles is the class distinction the others are the different interpretations of Islam and the modernity concern of Başakşehir 4.Etap residents with a higher economic level.
