Askar-Kruger@reddit

no bro, it's a Muslim thing, we are One, United, Undivided, let us leave the past in the past and move forward

Acceptable-Part-4965@reddit

I'm Shia (Alevi, Fatimi, whatever name) in our sect painting and depicting is halal unlike sunnis , it's haram in their sect.

if you‘re twelver (which is mostly the case, the other branches are way smaller), then you‘re Jafari

bostanite@reddit

I am completely lost. What are we looking at?

[-]

I think we are looking at a picture of Kemal next to the national flag of Turkey next to a picture of muslim Jesus (?) and in the middle is a man taking the picture because key tastes worse than bread .

[-]

BulutAndFriends@reddit

That's Imam Ali, this guy is likely an Alevi

H-N-O-3@reddit

PainOk1877@reddit

what is the difference between alevi and alawite? i heard about both.

[-]

Lorumba@reddit

From what I know alevi people are pretty chill, love ali, good neighboors, they dance, not very pushy, open minded love Ataturk like most of us etc etc and I dont know anything about alawites.

Alevis might be my favorite sect of islam, would be an alevi if I were muslim.

Sorry if this sounded like a propaganda but I wanted to appreciate alevis.

[-]

Sea_Gap_6569@reddit

At this point their love for Atatürk is comparable to Ali

[-]

BulutAndFriends@reddit

I heard that some Alevis believe that Atatürk was a descendant of Ali

[-]

AST360@reddit

Alevis are Turkish, Alawites are Arab. Alawites are more akin to Christianity in their Islamic beliefs (unlike Alevis some Alawites believe in a trinity of God, Ali and Muhammad which is veeeery haram for Sunnis), Alevis are more akin to Tengrism and early Turkish Islamisation like tariqa of Bektashism. Alevis do not go to mosques but instead go to "cemevi" (house of unity) while Alawites go to mosques. Alevis are often far more secular and may seem practically atheists for a foreign eye while Alawites are more religious.

Feeling_Procedure_79@reddit

Alevis are both Turkish and Kurdish. They are a bit different though.

[-]

AST360@reddit

Yeah, I mean I am sure there are some Turkish Alawites around too, especially near Hatay due to proximity to Arab Alawites but I am talking about the general Alevi population. Alevis make up around %10 of Turkey and the overlap with Kurds is rather small.

PainOk1877@reddit

thanks for the explanation,no wonder syrian civil war was very nasty and sectarian.

[-]

BeneficialAd8431@reddit

The headquarters of bektashis are in Tirana btw 🤣

[-]

DuePositive8957@reddit

Same thing. Alevi is just Turkish. Also we make fun of the name because it also means fiery. And sometimes we associate them with Fire Ball from Ben 10

[-]

OnkelMickwald@reddit

I often call him "Chad Jesus"

[-]

PainOk1877@reddit

or alawite,they populate hatay province in turkey and coastal syria.

[-]

Feeling_Procedure_79@reddit

That is Ali bin Ebu Talib. One of the four early caliphates and son-in-law of Prophet Muhammad. Having his picture on the wall means that this person is probably an "Alevi". Ali is a very important figure for them. Having Mustapha Kemal picture near means that he is probably a Turkish Alevi and not a Kurdish one. Alevis are a religious muslim minority, around 10-12 percent.

Usual-Trouble-2357@reddit

I swear it's as if the more heterodox/syncretic an Abrahamic religion gets the more refined and beautiful it becomes.

Just compare Alevis and other syncretic forms of Islam or older forms of Christianity to Salafis or your choice of puritanical American protestantism.

Several-Zombies6547@reddit

Wow, the first Turk I've seen that visibly has Turkic ancestry!

[-]

believewhatisayy@reddit

Turkic ancestry is not just monolid eyes. Oghuz Turks exist.

[-]

Tridentnutella@reddit

Oğuz turks from 🇹🇲 are still more asian looking (not much but still) than the average turkish person although they are quite mixed for central asian turk standards as well.

People looking like Turkiplier in the post make up like 5% of all turkish. Thats still 4 million people but nevertheless a small minority amongst mostly anatolian/iranian/balkan looking people

[-]

believewhatisayy@reddit

No i mean yoruks,manavs,chepnis,turkomans.

[-]

AmbitiousSympathy665@reddit

Oguz turks also had it much more often todays anatolian turks.

[-]

Lorumba@reddit

You are not gonna believe this but all it takes for someone to be turkish is citizenship.

"İ" know bro. He was talking about Turks(citizen) not being turkic (ethnic)

[-]

Zealousideal_Cry_460@reddit

İ dont think he was but whatever

[-]

ShitassAintOverYet@reddit

And he's an Alevi, nationalists in shambles

[-]

AST360@reddit

I'd argue Turks are the most beautiful and handsome nation on earth because none of us look alike eachother, you can find pretty much any phenotype in Turkey, even black people.
