Ottoman empire was a crossroad for different religions and believes with human and divine origins. Also in Asia Minor many examples and samples of great civilizations such as Christianity and Islam could be found.
In this article writer tries to study this common heritage and review some similarities between Chiristians, Alavids and Baktashids. The conclusion is that the leaders and greats of religions and mystical sects through synchronizing their beliefs with the local traditions and adapting their myths and rituals, after some primitive struggles tried to reach a compromise point. This process helped them to be accepted by natives and in some cases even they unified shrines of the other religions; these bilateral shrines could be worshiped by followers of different religions in different days of the week who themselves changed some representations. |
