Another nail in the coffin of secularism in Turkey.
“Children must be protected from ideologies other than Islam: Turkey’s top religious body,” Duvar English, March 29, 2021:
The head of Turkey’s Religious Affairs Directorate (Diyanet) has said that children must be protected from ideologies other than Islam, as he warned against “organizations that promote deism and atheism.”
“Let’s not make our children fall to superstitious understandings,” Ali Erbaş told representatives of non-governmental organizations and opinion leaders in the southeastern province of Diyarbakır on March 28.
“Let’s protect our children from ideologies other than Islam and various organizations and structures that promote disbelieving, atheism, deism and Zoroastrianism. We would be committing a sin if we don’t protect them,” he said….

Lol. Zoroastrianism was present in eastern Turkey, which was the ancient Kurdish religion in the lands that Mr. Erbaş is currently preaching the hatred of the kafir, which I call “Kafirophobia”. Before islam was even a thing, Zoroastrianism was present in Anatolia, especially in the Eastern parts. It’s sad that nowadays these lands are occupied by the intolerant islamic ideology. And it is not coincidence that he insults Zoroastrianism, the ancient religion of the Kurds in the Kurdish dominated city of Diyarbakır. But sadly I must say, today most Kurds are trapped in islam. If they had some historical awareness they would have denounced these kind of men whose ancestors came from the Arabic desert to invade Eastern Anatolia and Mesopotamia and would have told them to go back where they came from and take their ugly islamic religion with them!
Infidel says
Awesome: he just described islam as an ideology rather than as a religion
mortimer says
He also wants to persecute ATHEISTS, ZOROASTRIANS, and DEISTS … millions of people in Turkey.
With Islamo-fascists like mullah Ali Erbaş in charge, there will be another GENOCIDE in Turkey within 10 years.

Yep, keep Turkey’s children in ignorance and make sure that they never break free of the barbaric, primitive garbage that islam is so full of. Same old method that islam has always had and it certainly results in Muslims being held back in complete ignorance and backwardness. This guy seems to be worried that children are beginning to wake up to islam, (deism or Zoroastrianism would be progress and an improvement on islam) which has to be a good sign.

Turkey has always had a method for protecting themselves from other ideologies. It’s called genocide.

Grimly spot on, GreekEmpress.
Walter Sieruk says
What that Religious Affairs Directorate of Turkey was really saying was :”Let’s keep our children from a good well balanced education which no other worldviews other than seeing from the Islamic perspective.
This as all part of the one-sided Islamic indoctrination of young and impressionable children.
This alone of form of child abuse.

Turkey’s Religious Affairs Directorate top dog: ‘Let’s protect our children from ideologies other than Islam’
……………..
In other words, let’s crush all civilized creeds and ideologies, and indoctrinate our children with the savagery of Islam. *Ugh*.

I could imagine what this man would be saying if he were raising a family in California.
I read where the ‘woke’ people of California allowed a measure to be passed affecting the state’s schoolchildren. Apparently as part of the curriculum celebrating the American Indian heritage of many of the state’s Latino students a chant to the Aztec gods will be taking place in public school classrooms. These would be the gods in whose names the Aztec tribe went on raids to take captives which they then sacrificed and cannibalized in the most gruesome ways imaginable, because those gods enjoyed the suffering.

Henry, this insanity in California has been proposed–there are those here protesting:
“California proposes curriculum with chanting name of Aztec god who accepts human sacrifice”

Those coming up with this crap were likely unaware of this being the god of human sacrifice–no excuse, though.

If these retards try to take over Turkey things will get ugly and there will be a second coup, this time successful because it has a large enough high IQ European elite to commit genocide against the religious scum if things go too far. Turkey is a beautiful land that really is a part of Europe, not some worthless desert growing worthless people. Erdogan, far from being some moderate Islamist bravely standing up to a coup, has turned out to be a dictator. I predict that unless he loses the election (unlikely, since all the opposition are in jail) not only will there be a second army coup supported by the people this time, but he will be assassinated. He should never have been allowed to take power under the Turkish constitution. People are not going to stand by and see their daughters taught they are sub-human by religious abusers.
You cannot have full democracy when a large enough Muslim minority reproduces by dysgenic rape.

Trevor, your idea that Secularists in Turkey are poised to commit genocide against pious Muslims there is just bizarre.
Not only are most Secularists there pretty civilized and not the kind of people who commit genocide, but Muslims make up 99.8% of the population in Turkey. Even if Secularists were predisposed to commit genocide against pious Musims–which is calumny in any case–they just don’t have the numbers.

Also the turkish military has largely been purged of so-called “secularists”(or gulenist “terrorists” as Erdolf likes to call them) since 2016 so I don’t think there’s much of a chance for another “coup” from those quarters.
OLD GUY says
Turkey is well on the path to becoming an Islamic dictatorship. The remaining Christians in Turkey are in grave danger.

Grimly true, OLD GUY.
The Political Oracle says
“Let’s not make our children fall to superstitious understandings” Islam is out, if that is the case!
SAFI says
I like how he singled out Zoroastrianism as an “ideology” in his speech but he let the “Kafir of the book”(Christians, Jews) off the hook this time (probably not an accident even though Christianity is definitely not welcome in Turkey, but for the sake interfaith taqqiya towards the West Ali has to adjust his message)
