Necla Kelek

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Necla Kelek (2010)

Necla Kelek [ ˈnɛdʒla ˈkɛlɛk ] (born December 31, 1957 in Istanbul , Turkey ) is a German sociologist and journalist of Turkish- Circassian descent. With many current journalistic articles and her books The Foreign Bride , The Lost Sons , Bittersweet Heimat and Himmelsreise, she continues to shape the debate about integration and Islam in Germany to this day. She is active as a prominent women's rights activist on the board of Terre des Femmes . She has been awarded several prizes, such as the Geschwister-Scholl Prize in 2005 and the Friedrich Naumann Foundation's Freedom Prize in 2011 for freedom .

family

Necla Kelek grew up with two brothers and a sister in Kadiköy , a neighborhood on the Asian side of Istanbul . At that time, Kemal Ataturk introduced the separation of state and religion and equal rights for men and women. Neither the state nor the society in Istanbul attached importance to a religious Islamic lifestyle. Kelek's family lived far from religious norms and regulations.

Kelek describes her family history in the book The Foreign Bride . Her family, who lived a western-secular lifestyle in Istanbul, belonged to the Turkish- Circassian minority in Turkey . She describes her childhood as carefree, at school she was one of the best in class. In 1964 the father went to Vienna for a year to work, then to Germany. In 1966 he brought his family to join him. The father had increasing difficulties with the freedom of his children, especially his daughters, and ultimately left the family in 1973.

Kelek has had German citizenship since 1994. She lives in Berlin with her partner and son.

Scientific career and activities

Kelek initially trained as a technical draftsman . On her second educational path, she obtained the university entrance qualification and began studying economics at the Hamburg University of Economics and Politics from 1979 , and then from 1984 onwards to study social sciences at the University of Hamburg . 2001 she was at the University of Greifswald and the University of Hamburg with an investigation into Islamic religion and its importance in the everyday world of students of Turkish origin to Dr. Phil. PhD . From 1999 to 2004 she was a lecturer in migration sociology at the Evangelical University for Social Work & Diakonie in Hamburg . In addition to her work as a book author, she works as a freelance journalist for Die Welt , EMMA and as a guest author for the Mainzer Allgemeine Zeitung , the Speakers Corner of the Funke media group , the Neue Zürcher Zeitung , the axis of the good and other media companies.

She advised the Hamburg judicial authority on issues relating to the treatment of Turkish-Muslim prisoners and the Baden-Württemberg state government on Turkish customs and traditions as well as on their legislative initiative to formulate forced marriage as an independent criminal offense instead of a particularly serious case of coercion . From 2005 to 2009 she was a member of the annual Islam conference appointed by the federal government . Until May 16, 2007 she was a member of the scientific advisory board of the Giordano Bruno Foundation . She has been a member of the Senate of the German National Foundation since 2009 . Since 2009 Kelek has been a member of the board of trustees of the “Hildegard von Bingen Prize” foundation. In 2012 she became an active member of Terre des femmes (TdF) and has been on the board here since 2014. Since 2012 she has been in charge of a cooperation project of the association in southeastern Turkey, which is directed against violence in the name of honor and against forced marriage .

After Kelek in a radio interview with Deutschlandfunk u. a. had declared that granting the Islamic Ahmadiyya community the status of a corporation under public law was a "wrong decision", the community was acting "like a sect", it was using its status as a corporation under public law to push through "a political agenda", and was “not transparent” in their religious practice, the Ahmadiyya community brought a lawsuit against Kelek at the Frankfurt / M district court. At the end of February 2019, the lawsuit against Kelek was dismissed in the first instance on essential points by the Frankfurt Regional Court.

Book publications and reception

The strange bride

In her non-fiction book The Foreign Bride (2005) Kelek described her own experiences, researched the life stories of Turkish women and compared them with the results of scientific studies. Their conclusion was that Turkish tradition and Islamic religiosity can be an obstacle to integration. According to your book, many young people born in Germany are married to a bride or groom in their place of origin in Turkey in the phase of separation from their parents and they are then brought to Germany. Integration in Germany is deliberately made more difficult. Kelek uses the example of the “import bride” (Turkish: ithal gelin ), the woman brought from Turkey and migrated to Germany for an arranged marriage, who does not have any prerequisites there for integration into German society. To describe these facts, she evaluated interviews with affected women who told her their life stories.

The book became a bestseller and received critical acclaim in general. The emotionality of the book was felt by many reviewers as a strength. At the same time, however, generalized judgments were criticized for the entire population group of Turkish Muslims. According to journalist Patrick Bahners , the lack of differentiation can easily suggest the impression of “a dangerous crowd under the spell of archaic groupthink”. An example of a review that mixes praise and criticism in this way is that of Alexandra Senfft in the FAZ on May 31, 2005.

Kelek received the renowned Geschwister-Scholl Prize for The Foreign Bride . The eulogy held Heribert Prantl . According to Patrick Bahners, Prantl believed Kelek to have “a rhetorical strategy of exaggeration”. She made herself the organ of her mother and of all Turkish women whose screams were overheard. In order to shake up the public, she argued with generalizations. Prantl saw the value of the book in the unity of life and work: She settled with Islam, how she experienced and suffered it.

The prodigal sons

In her publication The Lost Sons (2006), Kelek discussed the influence of Islam on the nuclear family. The book is based on a research project by Keleks on the subject of parallel society at the Protestant University of Applied Sciences for Social Education in Hamburg. Here, too, Kelek added biographical details, observations, discussions with Turkish pensioners and the non-representative results from interviews with Turkish inmates.

Positions

Kelek expressly does not profess Islam as a religion and rejects the term Muslim for himself. She sees Islam “as a culture” to which she belongs, and herself primarily as a German citizen. The current “rigid and reactionary” Islam, which dates back to the 11th century, does not belong to Germany, but the Muslims living here do. A development of Islam and a historicizing use of the Koran is only possible in Europe.

Kelek's main topic is “the Islamic parallel society in Germany”. It rejects a toleration of a non-emancipatory upbringing of girls, but also of boys, in traditionalist Muslim families as “misunderstood tolerance”.

Kelek often gives interviews and takes a political stance, often in a pointed form. In the taz of January 16, 2006, for example, she advocated the controversial naturalization test of the Baden-Württemberg state government, which she described as the "Pascha test". Regarding the study on violence against women in Germany presented by Family Minister Renate Schmidt in 2004, she said: “According to investigations by the Federal Ministry of Family Affairs, at least every second Turkish woman is married in the manner described. So there are several thousand cases each year. ”However, the study does not cover Kelek's numerical estimate.

Kelek supported Ralph Giordano's concerns about the construction of the central mosque in Cologne-Ehrenfeld . She led u. a. from the fact that an Islam is practiced in many mosques in Germany, which turns out to be an obstacle to integration. These mosques are the germ cells of an opposing society. There the worldview of another society is taught and a life in the sense of Sharia is practiced. Even children would learn to differentiate from German society there.

Kelek explained in an interview in 2010 that Islam constructs an image of man that denies people and especially men the ability to control their sexuality and a pronounced instinctuality. This image of man is the result of an appropriate education. The Islamic scholar Lamya Kaddor accused Kelek of having long since left the ground of serious, let alone scientifically founded criticism of Islam with her pointed remarks on the subject . Kelek assumes that Muslim men have “a general tendency to sodomy”. The quote from Kelek quoted by Kaddor turned out to be inaccurate. Since Kaddor did not withdraw her allegations despite repeated requests from Kelek, Kelek filed an injunction against this in May 2018 . In December 2018, the Berlin Regional Court sentenced Kaddor to omit the allegations against Kelek. At the hearing, the judge said that Kelek's statements were easy to understand and in no way referred to Muslim men in general .

In the dispute with Islamic fundamentalists, Kelek calls for a “historical-critical handling of the traditional scriptures”, since otherwise the “peace-loving Muslims ... will be helpless in argumentation against the fundamentalists as long as they are not ready to also use the Koran as a historical text that is to be questioned and to regard the doubt as legitimate ”. In addition, she refers to the urgent need, in her opinion, that “we Muslims” have to deal with Islamism as part of Islam: “Just as the Nazis belonged to Germany, the terrorists belong to the Umma , Islamism is part of Islam . "

Kelek already dealt with the circumcision of boys in The Prodigal Sons and rejects this. Since November 2017 she has therefore been the "ambassador" of the intaktiv eV association . on.

Necla Kelek is one of the first signatories of the founding document of the u. a. “Initiative secular Islam” launched by Seyran Ateş , Cem Özdemir , Hamed Abdel-Samad and Ahmed Mansour at the end of 2018, with which a “contemporary understanding of Islam” should be heard.

Petition "Justice for Muslims!"

Shortly before the publication of Kelek's family-sociological study in mid-March 2006, the weekly newspaper Die Zeit published an open letter on February 2, 2006, called a petition , on integration policy in Germany, which had been signed by 60 scientists from the social science department in general and migration research in particular ; The authors were the Bremen professor for intercultural education Yasemin Karakaşoğlu and the Cologne psychologist and journalist Mark Terkessidis .

Criticism of Kelek

The open letter was directed against, among other things, Kelek's prominent position in the official political discourse and accused her of working unscientificly. While Kelek was still doing serious research in her dissertation , she now generalizes - contrary to her research results at the time - in her book and her newspaper articles, individual cases regarding exemplary generic characteristics of Muslim migrants. The existence of forced marriages and " honor killings " is in no way denied , but arranged marriages (which are to be distinguished from forced marriages) are due, among other things, to the emergence of marriage markets between the country of origin and the migration destination, which in turn are "the result of Europe's policy of isolation"; so they are often motivated by the desire for legal immigration. This could not be seen if one - like Kelek for example - generally imposed a pattern of interpretation of the general comparison of "Islam" and "Western civilization" on the phenomena.

Kelek's reply

In the same issue of the newspaper, Kelek was given the opportunity to make a replica, which was also printed by the taz . She accused the signatories of the petition for arguing unscientific. Regardless of the real conditions, these represent the illusion of the successful integration of Muslim migrants. Despite events daily contradicting this view, the representatives of the academic majority tried to criticize the bearer of the bad news rather than their own views and “ideological concept of multiculturalism ”. She sharpened her reply by accusing the "critic from the well-funded world of publicly funded migration research" for having been responsible for the failure of integration policy for 30 years. The real purpose of their objection is "fear for their research funds".

Media reactions

In the daily newspapers FAZ and Die Welt , editorial articles appeared that clearly supported Kelek's positions. The taz admitted consecutively a sharp critic of Kelek Kelek and even place one. After that, only negative contributions were given in the taz . Various statements were also published in the Frankfurter Rundschau , including a Kelek largely supportive guest contribution by Rahel Volz from Terre des Femmes and a text by Mark Terkessidis, who defended the "Petition" as a co-author. The NZZ of February 11, 2006 was rather critical of both sides. The FAZ of February 9, 2006 criticized the fact that in the “petition from 60 migration researchers” only a fifth of the social scientists were active in the field of migration research on Turks.

Necla Kelek and Seyran Ateş received support from Hartmut Krauss , an Osnabrück editor and initiator of the Critical Marxist Working Group, whose “countercall” with the title “Justice for democratic critics of Islam” from 53 people (including journalists, scientists, engineers, authors and human rights activists , the latter mainly from Iraq and Iran). It says that honor killings, forced marriages and a basic patriarchal orientation as well as anti-Jewish conspiracy ideologies and a lack of respect for a secular-democratic social order are "serious and not marginal phenomena within the Islamic cultural community". Therefore, an “undifferentiated general amnesty for all Muslims” is prohibited. The main criticism of the attitude of the “migration scientists” is that negative phenomena in migrants are always derived from the “racism of the host society”, while the anti-emancipatory potential of Islam is ignored. As long as this is taboo, however, it is "badly in order to develop an appropriate integration discourse".

Alice Schwarzer defended Necla Kelek against the criticism in an article in the FAZ on February 11, 2006, which was reprinted in Emma ; she had bravely broken the silence on a social taboo. Schwarzer combined this statement with strong personal criticism of the authors of the open letter: Yasemin Karakaşoğlu was "very, very closely connected to the Islamist scene in Germany"; Mark Terkessidis is just a self-promoter and has "little to do with understanding the world".

The migration researcher Werner Schiffauer shared the content of the open letter, but had not signed it because, in his opinion, the German public should be the target of the criticism instead of Kelek: “One should not attack Necla Kelek, but the German public who only appear to be Waiting for someone like Kelek to confirm everything they have always thought about Muslims. ”He gave Kelek a positive credit for raising the previously neglected issue of family relationships in migrant families.

Legal proceedings

On February 6, 2020, the Frankfurt Higher Regional Court sentenced Necla Kelek to fail to state that the mosques of the Ahmadiyya religious community are “men's places”, as well as to state that the religious community uses its status to push through its political agenda. The Frankfurt Higher Regional Court has thus revised an earlier judgment in the legal dispute between Kelek and the Islamic community. The subject of the proceedings were allegations that Kelek had made in an interview with Deutschlandfunk in 2017. After this judgment, however, Kelek can continue to claim that Ahmadiyya is an "Islamic sect" as this is a permissible expression of opinion. The court also described the fact that the religious community wanted to "see Islam literally implemented" and did not deal sufficiently with "violence in the Koran" as permissible expressions of opinion.
