MY NUSAYRI FEELINGS
Mr. Sedat Memili | Columnist
“You Must Protect This Voice!”
“We may all have the names of Alevi, Sunni, Druze, Turkmen, Nusayri or Christian, but our surname is the Republic of Turkey…”
Ömer Çelik AK Party Spokesperson
A fake sheikh, a puppet of Israeli agents and fake leftists, has emerged; He is calling Israel to duty on behalf of the Nusayris. Even crows would not laugh at this…
This person speaking on behalf of the Nusayris is a crisis caused by the tolerance that is the basis of freedom and our faith.
THOSE WHOSE QIBLA IS ISRAEL
Democracy cannot be implemented in ignorance and congregation. Today’s congregation and ignorance do not allow the most sublime democracy to be realized in religious belief.
Israel has brought Nazism, which was prevalent at the beginning of the 20th century, to Gaza today under the guise of Zionism. A man who has adopted the same Israel as his qibla is calling the killers for the safety of the Nusayris. Let's look at who this Fake Sheikh, known to be Selim Narlı, is and the story of his call:
PKK terrorist Mihraç Ural, who is alleged to be a joint agent of the US and Israel after the massacre in Latakia and Tartus, makes the following call on March 10, 2025:
“(…) We must now embrace the calls for a federation for an exit from this cruel massacre and for new initiatives. It is of vital importance for the Alevis to walk shoulder to shoulder with the Kurds, Druze and other minorities for the federation.”
“Whoever fires their weapons first from the Alevi mountains, the other will follow…”
This call is an attempt by the PKK, which is engaged in hired murder in the service of Western imperialism and is now on the verge of collapse, to draw the Nusayris to its side. And as you may have noticed, this call serves Israel's purpose
ARMY IN ARM WITH FAKE LEFTISTS…
Receiving this pass from Agent Mihraç Ural, Fake Sheikh Selim Narlı puts his hands on the shoulders of Talat Oruç, the husband of DEM Party Deputy Tülay Hatimoğulları Oruç, and makes the following statement:
“I have been officially assigned! I will make a request to the Israeli Government for the safety of the innocent people there…” he begins his speech. Without saying who he received the assignment from:
“(…) We are saying to the Jewish state that we are extending our hand to get rid of this extreme Islamic movement that will be a training and preparation ground for the groups that will fight you, and we will be your best and most loyal friends.
*We ask the IDF to move their planes and protect us,
*We demand the Israeli Defense Ministry to pull their faces and warships to the shore
“We want the honest Israeli media to shed light on the massacres that are happening to us…
The Fake Sheikh who demands these then explains his purpose:
“Help us leave this radical Islamic state…” he concludes his words.
This purpose is already Israel’s ultimate goal. Israel tries to give the image that its own goal is the demand of the Nusayris through the mouths of these agents and fraudsters.
It is claimed that what happened in Latakia was provoked by Israel. The goal is the same; to create a divided, fragmented, weak structure by pitting the peoples against each other.
Moreover, it is to spread a sectarian conflict in Syria to Turkey.
The Nusayris will not fall into this trap, they should not fall into it…
AND MY FEELINGS AND MY BELIEF…
Without taking any official duty from anyone, I will share my feelings only as a Nusayri living in this geography.
After some temporary and unfortunate experiences, the memories of which are very painful in our hearts, the members of the Nusayri faith are once again being used as a tool for political showdowns in their own homeland.
Just a hundred years ago, we were saved from the sins of an unworthy group and became free individuals of our own homeland.
The freedom that nations have wanted to attain for thousands of years, with their temples bleeding, has been achieved by the people of this homeland after a struggle they fought shoulder to shoulder.
The reign of silence, deafness and dark blindness that reigned over these lands for centuries was again destroyed by the common beating hearts of the people of this homeland.
An independent flag and an independent homeland were won by opposing the seven-headed demons and groups sharing the same ideal.
The melody of our songs in the sky, our blood mixed under the soil.
This spirit was the common spirit of every person living on these lands, regardless of sect or race. It was this spirit that inspired Mustafa Kemal to define the nation. “The people of Turkey are a social group that is united by race, religion or culture, full of feelings of respect and sacrifice towards each other and has common interests.”
AGAIN MY DEAR ADANA…
I was born in a neighborhood in Adana where the elderly did not speak Turkish. I was raised by a mother who did not speak Turkish and a father who spoke both Turkish and Arabic very well. I completed my education in Turkish at a primary school within walking distance of my house. I responded to my mother’s Arabic speech in Turkish. Arabic was spoken in my house; therefore, no one called me to account.
I learned that I was Nusayri when I lived among non-Nusayrs. I did not know this until I went among non-Nusayrs (in middle and high school).
That's when I witnessed "the ignorance and discrimination that were the remnants of the silence and blindness that reigned over these lands for centuries..." The remnants were these remnants and they were very few in number.
I studied in state schools, received treatment in state hospitals... I never encountered discrimination anywhere because I was "Alevi or Nusayri". There were no rights that non-Alevis had that I did not.
(I felt sorry for those who discriminated... It was not a state policy - except for the Presidency of Religious Affairs of that period - it was the remnants of medieval ignorance and they were fed from sources that everyone knew)
A hundred years ago, Nusayris served honorably and gave unforgettable services in the parliamentary chairs of the Grand National Assembly of this state and in the seats of authority in the municipalities. And it still is... Nusayris have always taken their respected place in the defense, establishment and administration of this state.
I am also a citizen of the Republic of Turkey and a patriotic Nusayri person raised by this structure. I am honored to be a Nusayri, but this is in no way a reason for superiority over other influential origins.
Those who cannot dream their own dreams and aspire to be the puppets of others' dreams cannot provoke the Nusayris against this state they respect.
The title of my article months ago was: "Assad was defeated, not Syria..."
A strong state that will embrace all groups will be established in Syria. Today or tomorrow.
One of the most beautiful observations I have come across on this subject recently was made by Ömer Çelik:
"All of our names may be Alawite, Sunni, Druze, Turkmen, Nusayri or Christian, but our surname is the Republic of Turkey..."
IN CONCLUSION
As a Nusayri, I will not be a part of this arrangement that serves the Israelis...
I will not be a filler material for fake leftists and fake sheikhs. ...
I will not take part in a formation that fuels ethnic and sectarian conflict, and I will always stand against it.
I will not attend meetings and rallies of individuals, groups and parties that defend, pursue and aim for US and Israeli policies… I will spare even my shadow from this divisive activity.
I will make an effort to carry the lesson learned from this point that the Alevis without Ali have reached to the future.
I trust the Nusayris living in our region and believe that they will not take part in this arrangement.
Note: Before writing these lines – coincidentally – I was reading the speech of “Hamdullah Suphi Tanrıöver” titled “You Will Protect This Voice” that I published in Akşam newspaper on September 11, 1930. I realized that I was very inspired.
