Whose Islam?

• Throughout history, solutions were sought initially for the unknown of the universe, then for the unknown in human life, and then for the problems of existence. The solution found parallel to the emergence of the hierarchical state is religion. What religion suggests about life is certain and undisputed. However, later, religion was removed from the dimension of belief and became an important tool of state administration with its renewed language and interpretation on some areas needed in response to the problems of governing and being governed.

Religion has now become a carefully shaped and positioned governing ideology. When the Islamic faith is brought up to the level of the state, it is seen that it is removed from its essence.

Setting out from this perspective, author Sinan Şahin focuses on the reality of religion, which is transformed into a tool of power by the rulers and is highly politicized, at the center of the socioeconomic and political crises experienced in the Middle East, Turkey and Kurdistan.

“Whose Islam?” His book draws attention to the fact that, especially after the emergence of the religion of Islam, it was transformed into an essentially contradictory form during the process of being taken over by the ruling powers.

In the book "Whose Islam?" Author Sinan Şahin, who is in search of an answer to the question, examines the problematic of politicization of Islam, which is used as a tool of power. Important notes are made about how Islam, the sacred faith of the people of the Middle East, was damaged.

The book reveals the "Moderate Islam" strategy implemented by the Western powers within the scope of the Greater Middle East Project (BOP) and the collaborative processes of gaining power that will serve their own interests.

In this context, it examines the AKP and the Fetullah Community comprehensively and provides a quality that will shed light on today's reality.
