It has emerged that the Ministry of National Education has facilitated the distribution of a book to children which makes propaganda for sharia and jihad, contains vilification of Alevis and deems contemporary life to be “Hell-like.”

The Education and Science Workers' Union has unearthed scandalous details in its examination of the book that the Server Youth and Sports Club Association has prepared for children under the slogan “There can be no community of believers without Sunnah” and to which the Ministry of National Education has given approval. After it had emerged that there was a story about sexual abuse in the book that the ministry had approved for primary school children, the Education and Science Workers' Union examined the book the Ministry of National Education has approved as a “sound source” for distribution to children in the middle-school 11-14 age group and exposed the scandalous content.

Anti-republicanism

In the book, which also singles out the Republic saying, “They destroyed the Ottoman Empire but put nothing in its place” and which dismisses civil law with the claim that Muslims can be deceived because there is no constitution, either, it is said, “Europeans are orientalists, Europeans patronise the East, Europeans are apologies for priests! They make it their business to try to eliminate the holy hadith. They will be at ease if there is no holy hadith. Then they will be able to deceive all Muslims. For example, they say, ‘Women and men can sit together, drink alcohol and gamble’ and see fit to trick everyone. They can be deceived because there is no constitution, either, but the holy hadith makes Muslims Muslim.”

Alevis targeted

The book targets Alevi citizens with the comment, “Sharia means religion. A pious person cannot be against it. A Muslim cannot say they are against sharia. Some Alevis held meetings in Australia. They spoke on the Sidney radio and hit out at sharia and spoke against it. Is such a thing in order? This means they are atheists behind the curtain of Alevism.”

Do not be a doctor

The book also contains advice that steers children away from science in pronouncing, “All Muslims in their entirety have a single shared profession and that is the profession of speaking about Islam and serving Islam. Allah did not send us into the world so that we could be doctors. He did not send us into the world so that we could be agriculturalists, either. Allah has imposed on us the duty of serving our own religion.” The book guides in the direction of jihad instead of science and exhorts, “The prime, most valuable and most honourable service of all Muslims is jihad.”

The Kadıköy nudists

The book also singles out the lifestyle of millions of people in declaring, “Do not try to resemble Jews and Christians. Come on, you are not trying to do so; you have acquired the holy hadith culture. Go and take a look on the Kadıköy side. Get on the islands ferry. People go around naked; there is a nudist club and beaches. Now, take one of our own and put an English person opposite them and a French person opposite them. Guess which one is Turkish. There is no way of telling. The hair is the same, the way-out trousers are the same, the behaviour is the same, the face is the same, everything is the same.”

HOW DID YOU PERMIT THIS OUTRAGE?

CHP Eskişehir MP Utku Çakırözer brought the scandalous pronouncements in the book entitled “Religious Stories from our Prophet” that the same association distributed at the primary-school level onto the parliamentary agenda. Çakırözer inquired in a parliamentary question he tabled to be answered by Minister of National Education İsmet Yılmaz, “How was the writing and printing of this book permitted? With whose knowledge and under whose instruction was distribution of this book in schools conducted?”
