Turkish–Islamic synthesis (Turkish: Türk-İslam sentezi) is a type of Turkish nationalism which has an Islamist leaning instead of secular. History Historian Gökhan Çetinsaya explained that there are three opinions on the topic of Turkish nationalism and Islam. First are the nationalists who reject Islam, second are Islamists who reject nationalism, and third are the ones who mix them both together. While there was elements of the fusion of Turkish nationalism with Islam during the final years of the Ottoman Empire, Turkish Islamonationalism was created and encouraged as part of Operation Gladio during the Cold War by American-backed right-wing intellectuals such as Alparslan Türkeş who were concerned about the increasing Soviet-backed leftist influence in the country. They wanted to make a religion-inspired nationalism. Türkeş did not support Pan-Islamism. According to the synthesis, you have to be a Muslim to be a Turk, and that Islam is the most suitable religion for Turks. The ideology staunchly prioritises Hanafism-Maturidism and views it as the national religion of all Turks, due to the long history of Turkic people following the Hanafi madhhab and the Maturidi school, they do not consider Hanafism-Maturidism as foreign due to their belief that al-Maturidi was a Hanafi Turk who himself had a sense of national pride. In the late 1970s, the Turkish political scene was full of ideological conflicts between far-right ultranationalists (Idealists) and far-left groups, along with little-to-no governmental effort to stop it. Under the Motherland Party rule, Turkish Islamonationalism became the de facto official ideology of Turkey (and until today it is accused of being so under AKP rule, although the AKP strongly denies it). In 1982, religion was strengthened in schools and education as a way to strengthen Turkish Islamonationalism, which intended to weaken mainstream Islamism and secular nationalism. The Turkish–Islamic synthesis was fully developed by Aydınlar Ocağı (Turkish: Intellectuals' Hearth) headed by Süleyman Yalçın in the 1980s. Views on non-Turks Arabs Alparslan Türkeş, founder of the MHP and Grey Wolves and one of the top ideologues of the Turkish–Islamic synthesis, was an advocate of the Turkish adhan and advocated for the Quran, Adhan, and even Salahs to be solely in the Turkish language in Turkey. He co-led the 1960 Turkish coup d'état and in an interview after the coup, Türkeş described the usage of Arabic for religion as a "betrayal", and said "in the Turkish mosque, the Turkish Quran is read, it is not Arabic." After the refugee crisis, anti-Arabism increased, mostly among Grey Wolves. In Gaziantep, approximately 2 dozen Syrian Arabs had to leave the city after angry Turkish crowds belonging to the Grey Wolves ransacked their homes. Another time a group of about 1,000 Grey Wolves, which organized on social media, blocked various roads in Kahramanmaraş and refused to leave even after police warnings. The protestors also removed Arabic signs from many Syrian-owned stores, and many store owners closed their shops in fear. They also attacked a Syrian in a car and broke his windows, however they ran away after the Turkish police fired a warning gunshot into the air. Many Turkish Islamonationalist organizations volunteer to fight in Syria in favor of Syrian Turkmen to strengthen Turkmen interests and weaken Arab rule. The Alperen Hearths sent 250 fighters in 2015 to "fight against Russia, Iran, and Assad. And to help Turkmen", although they were later accused of having just came into Syria to take photos with fighters, as many of the Alperen Hearths were seen in Istanbul just days after they went to fight. Kurds Although the ones who follow Türkeş are frequently accused of being anti-Kurdish, the ones who follow Yazıcıoğlu have no problem with Kurds as long as the Kurds agree to being subordinate to Turks. Some of them have also blamed secular-nationalism for being one of the causes of the Kurdish–Turkish conflict, stating that Islam was the only link between Kurds and Turks, and secular-nationalists, on both sides, destroyed it. On February 23, 1979, while the 20-year-old Kurdish Raider activist, Metin Yüksel, was leaving Istanbul's Fatih Mosque, he was shot dead by Grey Wolves loyal to the MHP. Despite the MHP's long history of opposing any form of rights given to Kurds, Devlet Bahçeli stated "It is, in a word, dishonorable to portray the MHP as anti-Kurdish, to provoke my brothers of Kurdish origin against the MHP, and to be enthusiastic about unrest and opportunism. At the same time, it is also a grave betrayal to the homeland, the flag, the nation and the thousand-year experience and integration. Those who engage in stealthy and conscious political Kurdism are the disgraceful ones who bring water to the PKK's mill. My brothers of Kurdish origin are not against MHP. Those who are against the MHP are PKK members, PYD/YPG lovers. Kurds cannot be terrorists, terrorists cannot be Kurds, they cannot even be called Kurds." Devlet Bahçeli and the controversial Olcay Kılavuz also made bold accusations saying that the HDP, IYI, and CHP are the ones who are truly anti-Kurdish. Regardless of the MHP's denial of being racist towards Kurds, the MHP and its supporters have continued to portray acts of racism against even the Kurds who do not have an affiliation with the PKK or HDP. In 2015, in Istanbul, after the failure of the PKK peace process, a wave of anti-Kurdish attacks came, in which stones were thrown at buses coming from or going to Kurdish-majority cities, and assaults on Kurdish seasonworkers increased. Many buses hung up the Turkish flag to avoid getting their windows broken. The BBP's Alperen Hearths responded by going onto the buses and greeting passengers and giving out roses and Turkish delights, in which Kürşat Mican, the leader of the Alperen Hearths in Istanbul, stated "Due to the increasing news of martyrs, our people could not control their feelings and went to the streets to react to terrorism. We started to hear the saying 'Kurds are the eternal enemies of the Turks' on the streets. We purposely chose Friday. Friday is the holiday of Muslims. The roses we have also represent our prophet. We will serve roses and Turkish delight to our brothers who go to the Eastern provinces from here. We told them that all Muslims are brothers. Evil groups have been wanting to disrupt our brotherhood, unity and solidarity for years. We, as Alperens, will not allow this at all costs. By Allah's permission, we will live together in this land for a lifetime in a brotherly manner. I strongly condemn terrorism, with hatred." Mican also accused the ones who engaged in anti-Kurdish violence of being "specially selected agents". In an Iftar speech, Mustafa Destici, leader of the BBP, who once ripped a picture of a Kurdistan map, said that "The Kurds are our brothers. Unfortunately, some political structures and groups within both of us either can't see the bigg.... Discover the Genis Ona popular books. Find the top 100 most popular Genis Ona books.
