“Turkey is now officially described as 99% Muslim and the state actively promotes a national identity based on ethnic Turkishness and Sunni Islam which excludes other ethnic and religious minorities. This is reinforced by the national identity cards which automatically state ‘Islam’ under the category of religion unless a person specifically requests that it be removed and even then the indication of ‘Alevi’ is not allowed, despite the fact that the European Court of Human Rights granted Alevis the right to register Alevi instead of Islam. In exploring the case of the Alevis, it is interesting to see how their preferred identity is religious, but they can be both integrated and excluded within Turkish society depending on whether and how their ethnic or religious identification is articulated. While the majority of the approximately 15–20 million Alevis in Turkey are ethnically Turkish, about 3–5 million are ethnically Kurdish or Zaza and as Alevi Kurds are a ‘twice minority’. When Turkishness is emphasised as the dominant identity there is some common ground ethnically on which the Turkish Alevis can align themselves with the national hegemonic identity and thus gain limited concessions in support of their religious differences. There are also approximately 12–20 million Kurds in Turkey, of which approximately 15 million are Sunni Muslim, and so can align themselves with the national identity through religion. However, this option is not open to the Alevi Kurds who cannot be accommodated within this framing of national identity and have as a result experienced persistent persecution for their faith and ethnicity, especially since the sixteenth-century Ottoman Empire, a persecution that continues to this day.”

''Alevilik bir doğa dini olduğu gibi aynı zamanda bir akıl dinidir. Akılla mantıkla bağdaşmayan herhangi bir şey Alevilikte kabul görmez. Semavi dinlerde ise bunun tersi yaşanılır. Kutsallık insan için değil, tanrı içindir. Akıl ve mantık aranmaz. İnsan sevgisi yerine tanrı sevgisi vardır. Semavi dinlerin kitaplarında insanın yaşamını zorlaştıran o kadar çok şey vardır ki, ‘tanrı böyle istedi’ diye kutsal sayılır, sorgulanmaz.''
