A small glimpse into the world of

TOTALITARIAN

MUSLIM

TURKS:

For decades, the teaching of Turkish history at Turkish universities has considered the country as unique, without putting it in a global or regional context.

A guarantee of academic freedom stems from a controversy that erupted in late 2000, when Halil Berktay, a history professor at Sabanci University, enraged Turkish nationalists with his revisionist interpretation of Turkey's "Armenian question" - the historically unresolved issue of whether Armenians were the victims of genocide in 1915, as the Ottoman empire was disintegrating.

For decades, Turkey has rejected all claims of genocide and has insisted that, while there may have been crimes committed against the Armenians in those chaotic days, modern Turkey cannot be held responsible. Prof Berktay became the first Turkish historian working at a Turkish university to challenge that view.

In the furore that followed, Sabanci University stood by the professor. Other universities, especially those that rely on the state for funding, may have yielded to pressure to dismiss him.

"It didn't even occur to me that I would be abandoned by Sabanci University when I spoke out," Prof Berktay says. "In most Turkish state universities there is a stiff, straitjacketed, hierarchical approach to saying something perceived as being against the national interest, whatever that is, and in that framework it is virtually unthinkable to go against the conventional wisdom."

The university's stance has attracted independent-minded staff - often Turkish professors who once worked abroad.

...


Just like madrasses where the traditional muslim education establishment, in Turkish state universities apparently they allow little independent thought on "national issues" which their military creates. Turks while pretending to be modern seem to take more of a cue from the madrassa tradition, except the official ideology Kemalism is the religion taught instead of Islam.

This has been Nikephoros giving a small glimpse into the world of totalitarian muslim Turks, till next time...
