Whatever is mentioned here, I can testify it. What was disturbing the most were remarks about evilness of democracy. My husband who spent more time in these circles told me how often they would sit around the table of the shaykh, who was representative of Naqshibandis, somewhere in Europe, would choose not to mention which country, and discuss how democracy will soon collapse and monarcy will come to the rule. Mureeds who were following this shaykh were trained to learn new skills for the big monarchs, some of them were trained to be cooks in the king’s court, some of them to be craftsman etc. Kings and queens were worshipped, because according to the teachings of shaykh Nazim they are all descendants of prophet Muhammed.
Completely another version was told when visiting government’s authorities, their evilness was not mentioned, but they were flattered to be peace makers. Ottoman empire was not mentioned either, as the final form of God’s government on earth.
Government’s figures were not told that Ottoman empire will be established again, and when Mehdi comes, he will bring its glory back to the life, and yes when the big world’s forces start the nuclear war, he will come with his sword to stop it. People around this shaykh will be in the inner circle of Mehdi, everyone outside will be left to misery. That’s why it is very important that people join this shaykh, leave all and come to live with him in the mountains. Civilisation outside is evil and will be destroyed any time. The only salavation is coming through him and service to him, as he is instructed to do so by his dead shaykh Nazim. This confirms statememt about different story for followers and different story for outsiders.
Shaykh Mehmet who is currently the only authorised representative of shaykh Nazim was not much mentioned by this shaykh. Because my impression was he was hoping to get the title of shaykh’s Nazim representative.
I heard from close members of this shaykh how he used to ridicule shaykh Mehmet, asking why he was not chosen, because he claimed to know better than him, and that he did more for shaykh Nazim etc. That shows high degree of jealousy and animosity between the group.
Once I was attending the dinner in the circle of this shaykh, and he said all kids should be silent, because their noises are interuppting the connection with shaykh Nazim in the grave. Well, man has his firm beliefs. That showed basically he was not accepting shaykh Mehmet as his spiritual guide.
What was very disturbing for me was seeing shaykh Mehmet praising this man, givng him credits for a good job and calling him his good servant. I was thinking this must be a joke, because this man hated him to death.
I was thinking shaykh Mehmet is probably still very naive, still has not realised who were the snakes in his group.
So much hypocrisy, lies... list can go on and on. Why? Can anyone answer?
