Ottoman Officer asking questions to Anatolian recruits during WW1 be like : | History Memes

SOURCE: RELIGION AND SECULARISM IN TURKEY BY ŞERIF MARDIN The same author describes the responses he received when he began asking his men questions relating to their religion: When I asked the question 'What is our religion?' 'What is the religion which we follow?' I thought the answer I would receive would be 'Praised be the Lord, we are Muslims.' But this was not the responses I received. Some said 'We are of the religion of the Great Imam.' Others said 'We are the followers of the Prophet Ali.' Some could not solve this problem. Some did, indeed, say 'We are Muslims' but when the question was asked 'Who is our prophet?', they too became confused. Names of prophets that would never come to one's mind were mentioned. One said 'Our prophet is Enver Paşa.' Again when the question was asked of the few who had identified the Prophet, 'Is our Prophet alive or dead?', the matter once more became insoluble. Some said he was alive, some that he was dead...

the real reason the Abbasid Caliph al-Ma'mun choose the Mutazilites as the religion of the state lol | History Memes

SOURCE: MISQUOTING MUHAMMAD: THE CHALLENGE AND CHOICES OF INTERPRETING THE PROPHET'S LEGACY BOOK BY JONATHAN A.C. BROWN HANBALI MUTAZILA The Abbasid caliphs had set the model for public debates on religion. At one held at the caliphal court in the 830s, a Mutazila scholar took on an intimidated representative of the embattled Sunnis on the issue of whether man brings about his own actions (the Mutazila stance) or whether God does (the Sunni one). When the Sunni let his arm dangle at the elbow and asked, 'Who is moving this?" - he expected the answer to be God - the Mutazila responded, "Someone whose mother is a w----.' The caliph approved.
