IS-Terrorist, neither Alevite even Kurd!

Vienna (OTS) – With great disappointment and amazement, we have followed the media coverage of the IS fighters with Austrian citizenship. Again and again attention was drawn to the ethnic and religious roots of the family and that it was a Kurdish-Alevi family. The family of the IS fighter is neither an Alevi faith community or faith community. She has filed a complaint against her son. We want to make this occasion the following clarification:

We believe as the Alevi community in Austria (ALEVI) Express our full solidarity with the Syrian people on his way in the direction of democracy, human rights and the rule of law. However, Syria needs, in any way, fighters from Europe or from any other country armed. In Syria will finally come to peace, and the war must be stopped.

The members of the Alevi doctrine of faith committed to humanity, democracy and universal human rights. These are the values you are committed to an undogmatic way. You answered in the affirmative, especially the freedom of expression and freedom of religion. You to confess to every man the explicit free right of self-determination and the right to a private Faith. Furthermore, for the Alevism, the people love is synonymous with love for God. That is why love and tolerance is the basis of our faith.

Due to the Lack of an in-depth Knowledge of the Alevi theology of young people in their private life are often frustrated, and disoriented as well as manipulated for the Propaganda of certain Sunni Salafist extremist sects. They take advantage of the complete ignorance of young people about social order, traditions and habits and exploit their victims shamelessly for its own purposes. Therefore, we recommend that the most urgent of any type of recruiting attempt vigorously to repel. Education and religious education are a key to if possible from the start against extremist and violent heresies immunize.

As in the Interview of the IS terrorists mentioned, he converted to Sunnitentum and was radicalized in the relevant mosques. With his conversion, and his connection to the IS, he has placed the Alevi Faith, or he is dropped to Alevi theology from the Faith. So we speak for all of the Alevi communities, confessional communities, umbrella organizations, and in particular to the alevist religious community in Austria, if we have any connection with people denying that are radicalized, and in the name of a fundamental talisierten, inhuman ideology, or a Religion of Terror or other atrocities commit or committed.

In this sense, we wish that in Syria soon, the war ends and peace is achieved, whereby extremist groups would find no breeding ground.
