Does Alparslan Kuytul Support ISIS?

Not a supporter of ISIS but a name that appears on the organisation's death list; his criticisms of ISIS were recorded in 2014, four years before the accusations.

Unfounded

The claim that an ISIS member was his student

The ISIS member in question is the person who stated to the police that they had come to Adana in order to assassinate Kuytul: not his student, but his target.

Distorted

The claim that he advocates armed jihad

The answer, dated 30 May 2010, says that jihad is also waged with property, with knowledge and with preaching, and that nothing can be achieved in Turkey by arms; the claim holds on to a single sentence about occupied lands.

Out of context

The claim that he supports armed organisations

The claim is older than the 2018 operation: the same question was put and answered on 15 February 2014, and in a record of activity spanning more than thirty years, all of it public, not a single piece of evidence of support has emerged.
