'Salih Mirzabeyoglu' was born in Eskişehir in 1950, but is originally from Bitlis. His family descends from the Islamic prophet Muhammad and were given special status by the Kurdish tribes as leaders of these tribes. His great-grandfather Musa, his great-grandfather’s brother Nuh and his grandfather Izzet Bey were among the first opponents of Mustafa Kemal. Izzet Bey killed 125 soldiers of Mustafa Kemal in the mountains of Kosor in Kurdistan,
and during this struggle was killed. The most famous figure of Kurdish
Literature, ''Cigerxun'', even wrote about the heroic life of Salih
Mirzabeyoglu’s grandmother, Gulnaz Hanım.
Biography Salih Mirzabeyoglu first met Necip Fazıl in Eskisehir when he was 15 years old. He studied Law in the University of Istanbul,
and in 1975 began to publish his works. In some of the periodicals he
published between 1979 and 1980 he wrote his political-ideological
perspectives. After the death of Necip Fazıl, he founded IBDA-C in 1984 and until now, has written about 50 books.
IBDA is a school of thought and action which is also based on “Tasawwuf”. It is based on the wisdom of a Sufi school (''tariqat'') of Naqshbandiyyah.
Salih Mirzabeyoglu was also the opinion leader of the very well-known “Raiders (Akincilar) Movement” which got involved in a nationwide resistance which had an Islamic
character and was against the regime in Turkey from 1975 until the
military coup of 1980. Mirzabeyoglu became extremely popular after he
started publishing the monthly revolutionary periodical “Golge
(Shadow)” in 1975 and the concept “Raider (Akinci)”
was mentioned as the common name for members of the Islamic resistance
for the first time by Mirzabeyoglu in this publication. Mirzabeyoglu's
works, and the fact that a number of his comrades were martyred during
their struggle, inspired an unprecedented “revolutionary Islam” all
over Turkey, with almost all members of the Islamic resistance appearing after that time calling themselves “Raiders (Akincilar).”
As
of 1986, many legal and illegal fronts emerged around the IBDA
ideology. Nowadays, according to the police records, there are more
than 100 fronts of IBDA which have organized many actions independently
from one another and from Mirzabeyoglu. The organization model of
IBDA-Fronts has no relation with the other nationalist or socialist
organization models. According to the police reports, there are a
number of armed groups and about 3,000 militants in Turkey, both in
Turkish and in the Kurdish territories. The revolutionary concept of
IBDA-Fronts depends on Popular Revolts strategy.
The system is
apparently the key word for the proposal that only IBDA provides in the
Islamic world. IBDA does not deal with only action but it also provides
its alternative system to replace the which is to be eliminated. What
IBDA implicitly proposes to the world is an unprecedented solution, as
we mentioned before. Its comprehensive proposal contains all the main
ideas and procedures of administrative, Judicial, economic, cultural,
educational and other subsystems in accordance with the supersystem
which is available. Contrary to other types of wishful thinking, this
magnificent system proposal is on hand in Mirzabeyoglu’s complete
works. That is why he was assaulted brutally and was wanted dead
several times by using sophisticated means: “electromagnetic weapons,
radiation emitters, directed-sound headphones and hallucinogenic agents
put in meals,” actions which are still being carried out. That is why,
where Salih Mirzabeyoglu is concerned, Western imperialism and Turkish
militarism always had assassination plots on process and in store. He
was arrested in 1998 and has been in prison since then, having been
accused of destroying and replacing the secular regime with an Islamic
one.
Salih Mirzabeyoglu is currently in a high security prison of Bolu.
His
works are on themes of Islamic wisdom, Western philosophy, Lnguistics,
politics, economics, law, fine arts, literature, history, quantum
physics, mathematics, and so on. He defines himself as a “water bird”
which flies between Western Thought and Islamic Wisdom. When he speaks
of his relationship with Necip Fazıl, he says that it is like that of
Plato and Socrates.
His main target is to found the State of “Head
Sublime”. The main goal of IBDA is to establish an Islamic state in the
world starting with Turkey’s territories, and then by targeting the
unity of all other Islamic states, hopefully joining them in a
confederation-like system. It seems possible to name it as the European
Union model of the Islamic world, for instance; more independent in
borders, more dependent out of borders in Union. What it proposes is a
distinguished type of regime which is exclusive to IBDA: Aristocracy of
Literati, in other words, Aristocracy of Intellectuals, who are the
most prominent figures of their time. Only the best of society deserve
to rule a country, IBDA says. Not like an autocracy, in which all the
power is in one person’s hands; not like democracy, where a scholar’s
vote is equivalent to that of an ordinary man. He depicts his proposal
in his masterpiece, “Basyucelik Devleti – The State of Head Supreme”
(Grandsublime, also possible), as below:
“Basyucelik [Grandsublime]
State: This will be the form and name of the state. The subtle premise
behind it is: Considering the Islamic states retrospectively, we see
that there is no name foregrounding the ethnicity due to the stress on
the concept of community [ummah]; i.e. the Ummayad dynasty, Abbasids,
Eyyubis, Seljuks, Ottomans and the like. As can be seen in the
examples, the state is named after the person who represents the social
will and the executive authority in power; which demonstrates the fact
that the name of the state does not belong to the given mortal person’s
authority but to the social will and executive authority per se and
that the name solely serves for referential purposes… And it continues
within a genealogical line and the whole the process continues within
these indicators. Compared to the state model excluding monarchy as
depicted by the Great Orient ideology , the name of the grand social
will and executive authority will be represented by the borrowed name
Basyucelik [Grandsublime] which is in fact a position to which only the
most worthy or capable ones can be assigned to.”
“The “Basyucelik”
model of state, which will divert the Western dominance and offer Islam
and refer to our “New World Order” actually exists in Great Orient
system as a coherent ideological corpus of writing.. The core of this
model aspires to rearrange the world just like a seed clenching its
roots in the soil later to become sprouts to gush out of the earth and
to cover the whole sky with its braches. Our “constitution”—formulated
in respect to each and every geographical and ethnic region and
collecting together all those diversities in the form of slight details
of second, third or fifth degree not damaging the ultimate “core”
–awaits to be embroidered into practice in a chain reaction…”
“The
issue that the world of Islam should gradually adopt and make others
adopt and argue for is to refuse United States organization and
additionally –for us particularly--to strongly object to the attempts
to access European Union... In order for the attitude not to be
regarded as pathetic or naïve— to a “do it!” command to simply respond:
“I won’t!”—the only thesis can be with respect to our “Basyucelik
State”; in other words, embracing the authority of the Great Orient
concept and make it dominant!..”
“There is no administrative form
but administrative spirit in Islam”… Besides, it should be once again
strongly indicated that in the world of Islam today, there is no other
model than our “Basyucelik State” framed as an ideological corpus
...And that as a merit system in Islam “the position is given to the
competent, skilled and the qualified” not only in the state
administration but also in all areas… And that the parliament is at the
service of people, the government at the service of the parliament, and
the execution at the service of the government… Taking all these
overlapping points into consideration, it is impossible for our model’s
“Sublime Assembly”—gathered by the will of people—to get involved into
any act of deception, populism or any similarly vicious aspect of
familiar election systems which are based on exploiting people’s
meandering tendencies and bodily appetites. In any field of work or
action, the people who become distinguished—already differentiated by
their high qualities—are in the position of representing the will of
the ones who regard their field of work or action as a living style…
Compare the generation of such roots producing a will of nation who
regards the world as a garden-bed of after-life and who is concerned
about God’s consent to the current assembly representing the
unqualified human generation and human junkyard!..”
