Salih İzzet Erdiş - alias Salih Mirzabeyoğlu - (born May 10, 1950 in Erzincan ; † May 16, 2018 in Yalova ) is considered the spiritual leader of the militant Islamist organization İBDA-C ( Turkish : İslamî Büyük Doğu Akıncıları Cephesi ).

resume

Salih Mirzabeyoğlu, who comes from a Kurdish family, was born in Erzincan Province. He attended elementary school, middle school and high school in Eskişehir . At the age of 15 he got to know the poet Necip Fazıl Kısakürek , who became famous for his political and ideological writings. Kısakürek had a great influence on the thinking of Mirzabeyoğlu. Kısakürek initiated Mirzabeyoğlu into the Sufi order of the Naqschbandi .

In the mid-1970s, Mirzabeyoğlu joined the youth organization " Akıncılar Derneği " (Association of Champions) of the National Salvation Party (MSP). After Kısakürek distanced himself from the party at the end of the 1970s, the Akıncı-Güç circle founded by Mirzabeyoğlu unconditionally joined the poet's line and broke with Necmettin Erbakan's party. After the military coup of September 12, 1980 , the Islamist circle around Mirzabeyoğlu was largely smashed. Many activists were arrested. The central trial in Ankara had 140 accused. Mirzabeyoğlu himself was wanted by the military junta, but was able to hide himself underground. In 1984 Mirzabeyoğlu founded the publishing house "İbda" (term from the Ottoman language , in German something "new creation"). The press is said to have made the abbreviation İBDA ( Turkish : İslamî Büyük Doğu Akıncıları ) from it. Mirzabeyoğlu concentrated on his writing activity, while sympathizers, partly illegally, organized themselves as İBDA-Cepheleri (İBDA-Fronten).

In February 1991, Mirzabeyoğlu was arrested. The Turkish judiciary accused him of anti-secular efforts under Article 163 of the then applicable criminal law . After 4 months of pre-trial detention, Mirzabeyoğlu was released due to a change in the law.

Arrest and conviction

Salih İzzet Erdiş - also known as Salih Mirzabeyoğlu - was arrested in December 1998 and in April 2001 under Article 146/1. AF , condemned the Turkish Penal Code for attempting to overthrow the constitutional order by force to death. This sentence was commuted to aggravated life imprisonment in 2004 when Turkey abolished the death penalty . Mirzabeyoğlu, who was held in solitary confinement in Bolu Type F Prison and revered as a hero by his supporters, was released on July 22, 2014 after the trial was retried.

ideology

Mirzabeyoğlu uses crude and hurtful language and adheres to an outspoken elitist mindset. For this reason, Ruşen Çakır describes him as the "aristocrat of the problem district". Mirzabeyoğlu champions the concept of a Sunni-Islamic state in Anatolia. This Islamic state is seen as the natural successor to the Seljuk and Ottoman empires. Mirzabeyoğlu sees an aristocratic administration as the best political vehicle for implementing Islamic principles. Oligarchy, democracy and anarchy etc. are merely forms of degeneration and decay of the ideal state. This "state of great majesty " (tr: başyücelik devleti ) is led by a chief (tr: başyüce ), who is elected by the "council of the great " (tr: yüceler kurultayı ).

The Turkish magazine Tempo reported, referring to a work by Mirzabeyoğlu, that he had declared himself "officially Mahdi ". The aforementioned work (Furkan - Lûgat-ı Salihûn, German roughly: "Dictionary of the upright") is a treatise on numerology and etymology . Mirzabeyoğlu repeatedly equates his name or his alleged Sufi title with the title "Mahdi". Mind control is central to many of the contributions. Mirzabeyoğlu sees himself as a victim of a technology that is able to control his consciousness.
