Ertuğrul Özkök: To whom did the Imam Hatip girls who threw their caps say, "You cannot turn us into mankurts"?

Two news stories came one after another.

Both of them are from imam hatip high schools.

They are both from different cities and different high schools.

Moreover, one of the news came from the Islamic section.

The first news was given by Abdurrahman Dilipak from the Islamic neighborhood

The first news was given by Abdurrahman Dilipak, a former writer for Akit newspaper.

Graduation festivities were held at the Hümeyra Ökten Girls Project Imam Hatip High School in the Çukurova district of Adana on Wednesday, June 25.

The program attended by 8th and 12th grade students was as follows.

Photo shoot and students throwing caps together.

Dilipak: Miniskirted theologians are coming

Dilipak was caught by the skirts of the girls throwing their caps in the photos and captioned the X post as follows.

“Theologians in miniskirts are coming…”

The commentary also reads:

"We have accomplished great things in a short time. Theologians in miniskirts are coming."

Imam Hatip girls having fun like Cyndi Lauper's song

I looked at the photos too.

To be honest, I haven't seen anything that could be called a mini skirt. It's the normal skirt length for a high school girl.

But this much is certain.

“Girls having fun…”

Just like in Cyndi Lauper's wonderful song "Girls Just want to have fun" in the 1980s...

It's as if they're saying, "Leave it alone, we're just having fun."

He was obsessed with the length of the girls' skirts; I was obsessed with the banner they were carrying.

Abdurrahman Dilipak was obsessed with the length of his skirt, but what really caught my attention was the banner carried by the girls who graduated from the Imam Hatip High School.

It says this on it:

“We will not become Mankurts…”

For some reason, this is a word that I don't like at all. In other words, it's a word I don't like without knowing its meaning.

But when I wondered, “What do these girls mean?” and looked up the dictionary meaning, I stopped and said:

When I looked at the dictionary meaning of Mankurt, I stopped for a moment.

It was written exactly like this:

“Mankurt is the unconscious slave mentioned in Turkish, Altai, and Kyrgyz legends…”

There is also this detail:

“The person who is to be turned into a mankurt is first shaved, then a wet camel skin is wrapped around his head and his hands and arms are tied and left under the sun.”

Wow, girls were shouting "You can't enslave us" as they graduated from Imam Hatip High School.

I wonder to whom these girls are saying, "You can't turn us into mankurts"?

I wonder who they say this to?

This country has been governed by a government that has been constantly increasing the number of Imam Hatip schools for 23 years, that says, "We will raise a pious and spiteful generation," that has introduced religious sects into schools, and that has issued fatwas so that boys and girls cannot walk hand in hand.

So, to whom are these girls shouting, “You cannot make us slaves” while wearing short skirts and throwing their caps into the air?

I think the answer could be interesting.

Who did Izmir Imam Hatip students boo in front of?

The first news was from the east of the Mediterranean, the second from the middle of the Aegean, from Izmir.

An event titled “Time is mine and space is entrusted to me” was organized at İzmir Şehit Ömer Halisdemir Girls Anatolian Imam Hatip High School.

This event was held at Izmir Katip Çelebi University.

When someone opened a “HUDA-PAR” flag during the event, a significant portion of the audience started booing.

There are also witnesses to this incident.

AKP Ankara Deputy Zehranur Aydemir and Izmir Provincial Director of National Education Ömer Yahşi…

Who does the booed HUDA-PAR flag belong to?

A sort of coalition partner of the current ruling bloc…

Why are the quotas for Imam Hatip high schools in Anatolia not filled?

Very interesting news is coming from Imam Hatip schools in various parts of Anatolia.

First of all, most of them cannot fill their quotas. A significant portion of the children who go to middle school at their families' request switch their high school preferences to state high schools.

After the religious generation project, the Imam Hatip project is also collapsing

However, Imam Hatip schools were one of the most ambitious and largest education projects of the AKP government.

It didn't work either.

In other words, after FETÖ's "Golden Generation" project, AKP's "Pious Generation" project is also rapidly collapsing.

As long as this President of Religious Affairs and this Minister of Education remain in those seats, and as long as children are not given a modern education that is not ideological but in line with the requirements of this age, this trend will accelerate even further.

The two things that AKP conservatism has achieved are moustache and drinks in paper cups

I've been saying this for years.

“Conservatism under the AKP’s signature” has no future in this country.

The only thing they have been able to achieve is to force bureaucrats, crony and cowardly business people and members of the media to grow beards and moustaches, and to serve alcohol in paper cups under the table at weddings.

First the girls of the Imam Hatip School started having fun... Now it is the turn of the AKP men

For now, the brave girls of the Imam Hatip schools, who throw their caps and refuse to be turned into mankurts, have started to have fun.

The first election will save the AKP boys from “becoming Mankurts” after the Imam Hatip girls.

I am sure that the day this government loses the election, the men of the AKP neighborhood will also start having fun.

I'm writing here.

All they will do is cut their moustaches and beards and say, "Brother, put down the paper cup and bring that drink to the martyr."
