Among their topics are between Islam as a generic category and Muslim exceptionalism, alternative dispute resolution among Muslims in Germany and the debate on parallel justice, the poetic praxis of Yahya Hassan and the critique of liberal Islam, marginalized Islam: Christianity's role in the Sufi Order of
Bektashism, and Islamic literature in the Bosnian language 1990-2012: the production and dissemination of Islamic knowledge at the periphery.
Bektashism, which is considered to be the root of the understanding of Ahi Order, is the love of God, Muhammed, Ali and Ehlibeyt (prophet's family), based on the Qur'anic identity of Islamic religion, which is based on Pir Haci Bektas Veli from the Khorasan in the beginning of the 13th century.
Bektashism since its expulsion from Turkey in 1925.
Apparently Bektashism started during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries as a mixture of shamanism inherited from the Turkic tribes of Khorassan, mixed with popular beliefs in such a way as to appeal to villagers and the lower class of the Anatolian population.
Following innovative approaches regarding early Sufism in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, (8) Bektashism can be considered first as a reaction against the external rationalization of religion in law and systematic theology.
In 1925, after the revolution of Ataturk and the Bektashis' expulsion from Turkey, the country became the world center of
Bektashism, although it has not been recognized as such by the Government.
Nukret Endirce's book The Environment in Alevism and
Bektashism, published in 1998, (39) which does not represent Alevism generally and is not the manifesto of any particular structured group, encourages the political authorities, as do the other Turkish ecological associations, to adopt specific measures to protect the environment.
(9) The origins of Bektashism are linked to the Babai-movement, too, and the fundamental characteristics of the beliefs as well as the rites of Alevis and Bektasis are very similar.
(62) Erkan in Alevism and Bektashism is a common term for the rules of the spiritual path.
Alevi identity also includes an English version of Irene Melikoff's approach to the "bipartition" of the Bektashis and the Kizilbas-Alevis: a study on
Bektashism in Bosnia by Erik Cornell; various approaches to the ethnic, political, and theological dimensions of Alevi revivalism in Turkey; articles on Sabetaism, Ahl-e Haqq, the Druze, and the Syrian Alawites or Nusairis; and an "epilogue" by Tord Olsson on "the scripturalization of Ali-oriented religions." Syncretistic Religious Communities has substantial articles on the Alevis by Martin van Bruinessen, Krisztina Kehl-Bodrogi, Ahmet yasar Ocak, and Anke Otter Beaujean; articles on the Ahl-e Haqq, Druzes, Alawites, etc.; and interesting etymological, historical, and theoretical excursus on "the phenomenon of syncretism" by Carsten Colpe.
