Ramadan kareem in Turkey: Muslim mob shouting "Allahu akbar" stones home, torches stable of Alevi family that asked a Ramadan drummer not to wake them before sunrise

“They came to lynch us. They shouted ‘death to Kurds, death to Alevis.’ They told us to leave and threatened to kill us if we did not." The Evli family probably should have just resigned themselves to having to wake up early, seeing as how "Ramadan is a month of holy war and death for Allah. It is a month for fighting the enemies of Allah and God's messenger, the Jews and their American facilitators."

"Alevi family's home stoned, stable torched in southeastern Turkey," from the Hürriyet Daily News, July 30 (thanks to Lachlan):

The home of an Alevi family was stoned and their stables burned down by an angry mob yesterday after the family allegedly told a Ramadan drummer not to wake them for sahur, the meal before sunrise.

Members of the Evli family in the Sürgü village of the southeastern Malatya province allegedly asked a Ramadan drummer not to drum in front of their home the night of July 28 as they were not fasting and had work early in the morning. The two sides quarreled after the drummer rejected the family’s request.

News of the incident was heard throughout the village and a mob of around 60 people gathered in front of the Evli family’s house yesterday. The group hurled stones at the family's home and said the family members were “Kurds and Alevis.” The small contingent of gendarmerie soldiers in the villlage was unable to contain the crowd so reinforcements were called in from the Doğanşehir district.

The group reportedly chanted slogans, yelled “Allahu ekber,” meaning God is great, sang the Turkish national anthem and said “this family will leave this place.” Evli family members turned off their lights and hid in their homes in terror. The group also set a stable belonging to the Evli family on fire, which prompted the gendarmerie to fire shots into the air.

Security forces were able to disperse the crowd after reinforcements arrived.

Hasan Hüseyin Evli, whose home was attacked, said his family had wanted to live in peace together as Alevis and Sunnis. “We do not want such incidents, we have never hurt anyone,” he said.

Leyla Evli showed journalists the stones hurled at her home by the mob. “They came to lynch us. They shouted ‘death to Kurds, death to Alevis.’ They told us to leave and threatened to kill us if we did not,” she said.

The best way to celebrate Ramadan is to attack those not celebrating...After all, Allah himself ordered it, Quran 2:185...Anyone out of compliance is 'warring with Allah' by disobedience, and deserves to be punished...Islam has to be the best religion ever...

I remember seeing a report on the Alevi sect recently; it lauded their egalitarianism and the participation of women in their worship services. I ought to find out more about these people, of whom I had never heard before.

how dare do they want to stop the advance of Islam?!

Ramadan drumming?

Boy, that's a new one to me.

As if the devilish call to prayer weren't enough to drive a man insane - now DRUMMING?

___________________________

Muslims are nuts. They ban musical expression, yet condone the use of drums as a form of torture at 5 a.m.

They're all nuts.

Passive aggressive drumming. Is it like passive aggressive romance?

Tolerant, moderate Turkey strikes again.

................................

But this isn't like some disagreement over Christmas caroling or Fourth of July fireworks or just the loud party next door—this results, as always, in the getting up of a violent Muslim mob.

That the family foolishly *admitted* that they were not fasting likely only added to the crazed Muslim rage.

................................

Hasan Hüseyin Evli should realize it doesn't matter what *he* wants—as a minority in a Muslim country, hasn't he figured that out yet? To be fair, though, Alevis were at least somewhat protected under Kemalism. Now, under Erdogan, a lot of these4 safeguards have weakened...

................................

I believe the Evli family had better take that threat very, very seriously, and leave town—no matter how difficult this may be and what they have to leave behind.

Next time, the mob will likely burn down more than just their stables...

................................

They are still Muslims, John—but like the Amadiyya, they are unorthodox enough to be considered "heretics" or "apostates" by mainstream Muslims.

The Alevi have roots in Shia Islam and in Sufism. The Evli family may or may not be Kurdish, but many Alevi are. Most are also staunch supporters of Attatürk and Kemalism, since religious minorities are quite a bit safer under secularlism.

OT—John, thank you for following me on Photo Bucket.
