Pages on the accusation of being a provocateur: how the incident began and who did what.

If you are sincere in your claim, go ahead!

Alparslan Kuytul invited everyone who calls him an Iran supporter, a Shia, a Wahhabi, a takfiri, an ISIS supporter, outside Ahl al-Sunnah or an enemy of Sufism and the orders to a mubahala: "If you are sure, come; I will bring my wife and my children, and you bring yours — whoever is lying, may their root wither." The invitation still stands.

The "He Brought the People Out onto the Streets and Disturbed Public Order" Claim

People gathered not for the tarawih prayer, but for their friends who had been beaten and taken into custody. During the wait, which lasted until nine in the morning, not a single disturbance occurred.

Unfounded

The Claim That They Staged a Prayer Provocation in Adana

On the night of 21 May 2020 in Adana, five or six people wanted to pray the tarawih in a park; when the police said it was forbidden, they left. The beating began not in the park, but on the road as they were moving away.

Unfounded

The "Alparslan Kuytul Organised the Incident" Claim

At the time of the incident he was at an iftar meal at another end of Adana; he did not know of the decision of those who went to the park, and came to the scene only after he heard of the detentions.

Unfounded

The "he went knowing full well that trouble would break out" claim

In Adana on 22 April 2017 the intervention had begun before Kuytul had even set out: gas, pressurized water and plastic bullets were used against the few hundred people who arrived at the park early.

Out of context

The "Aggressive Person Who Incites the Young" Claim

For three and a half months not one word was said in reply to the accusations; in a body with thousands of members, not a single incident of violence or public disorder can be pointed to.

Unfounded
