DO YOU BELIEVE YOU KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT TURKS ? YOU PROBABLY KNOW THAT 99% OF TURKS ARE MUSLIMS BUT IT'S A LIE BECAUSE THERE ARE 20 MILLION ALEVI. WHAT IS ALEVISM ? IT'S A SYNCRETISM OF DIFFERENT RELIGIONS BUT SOME ALEVI CONSIDER IT'S MORE A CULTURE THAN A RELIGION. WE HAVE RITUALS IN WHICH WE ARE PLAYING SAZ, SINGING AND DANCING INSTEAD OF PRAYING. THE WOMEN AND THE MEN ARE EQUAL FOR US. WE PRACTICE THE FAITH OF THE NATURE AND BELIEVE IN REINCARNATION. THESE PRACTICES ARE THE INFLUENCE OF SHAMANISM AND BUDDHISM. SOME ALEVI CELEBRATE EASTER-DAY SO WE HAVE CHRISTIANITY TOO. SHIISM IS PRESENT IN ALEVISM HOWEVER WE DON'T HAVE RAMADAN AND WE DON'T GO TO THE MOSQUE. A LOT OF ALEVI ARE ATHEIST AND THEIR RELIGION IS HUMANISM. THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD BUT IN HUMAN. ALEVISM EXISTS SINCE 13TH CENTURY AND THEY DIDN'T CONVERT FULLY TO ISLAM BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO RENOUNCE TO THEIR SHAMAN RITUALS. WE ARE STILL RESISTING AGAINST ISLAMISTS WHO WANT TO MAKE US TO BE LIKE THEM.
