Waiting for meeting with Baba Mondi in Bektashi headquarters.

“Being very busy person, this leader of world Bektashi community still finds time for meeting ordinary people, between his travels in the region of Albania, Macedonia and Kosovo, where most of Bektashi live ( apart from Turkey, which is slightly different story ) Those meetings usually have form of friendly chat, accompanied by ever present candies. When outsiders enquire about Bektashi faith, Baba Mondi usually gives his speech about tolerance, about being brothers with other faiths, and about what happens when religion corrupts into business.”

How an Albanian man traces his Bektashi roots | History

From: Al Jazeera World One man’s journey to discover his Bektashi roots reveals a religious order that suffered centuries of oppression. Bektashism is a Sufi mystic Islamic order that was founded in present-day Turkey in the 13th century. Bektashi fortunes rose and fell in parallel with the Ottoman Empire and Bektashis were exiled to the Balkans, Albania and Egypt. History repeated itself in the…

The way Western people only accept Muslims if they say that "Hijab is actually optional" or that "You can be Muslim and not practice and follow Islam" is honestly quite disturbing.

Like no offense to the Bektashi but I'm tired or Western people salivating at the idea that the Bektashi drink alcohol and apparently have no problem even eating pork and and going against any Islamic rule. I don't know much about Bektashism but I know that all the Muslims in the world disagree with what they do. Yet Western people are obsessed with this fringe group that doesn't follow the Quran at all.

#They do this with the Ahmadi too

In the first years of the Republic, many reforms were launched as part of modernisation and secularisation process. Mustafa Kemal and the nationalist elites separated religion from the state with a revision in the Constitution (1921) in 1928, and removed the articles declaring 'Islam to be the official religion of the state' and the ‘duty of the parliament to apply Sharia's law', subsequently, in 1930, the Sharia courts abolished. Though the abolition of the Caliphate and Sultanate was a certain step towards secularisation, the banning of all tekke (dervish lodges) and zawiyas (shrines) and the creation of a state-managed Presidency of Religious Affairs in 1924, made Sunni-Islam the officially promoted religious identity within the Turkish nationalist frame. Consequently, issues concerning religious minorities, including Alevis, fallen under the authority of Diyanet, the advocate of Turkish Islam, instead of a secular law safeguarding the religious pluralism. Diyanet was a crucial channel to uniformise religion for the sake of the nation-building process. Translation of the Quran into Turkish due to its language (Arabic) that not readable by large masses, as suggested, was for its reinterpretation through Turkish-Islamic ethos. More importantly, except for Hanafi school, other Islamic beliefs and teachings were not taken into consideration in this new interpretation. Indeed, with the new reforms, while mosques remained untouched, closing Bektashi and Kurd lodges, tekkes and shrines may indicate the desire to portray the Hanafi sect of Islam as an official religion. It was a combination of Hanafi sect of Sunni Islam with Turkishness that Kemalist elites composed to create a nation-state on the idea of a homogenous society encompassing one nation, one religion and one language against the rich ethnic, religious and linguistic diversity of Anatolia.

It thus provides a fresh and comprehensive account of the formative process of the Bektashi order, which started out as a network of social groups that took issue with Ottoman imperial policies in the late…

Wish all my respect for Sufis and Shias, myself being an adherent of Sufism who is deeply annoyed by strict orthodoxy and religious authorities, I find it quite disturbing when the Bektashis and other Sufis in my country are painted as "the good Muslims" and more orthodox Muslims alsays being considered bas Muslims. Then you have so-called "Quranists" who deny all Islamic heritage.
