"Turks have no culture before Islam" Before adopting Islam, Turks created four dynasties in China (后唐, 后晋, 后汉, 北汉) These Turkic dynasties made sculptures with no equal in Islamic world; Islam prohibits the sculpting of statues Turks already had a civilization without Islam; Islam is a mere parasite on Turks A Turk has more in common, by tongue and blood, with a Tengrist Yakut than a Muslim Somali or Nigerian. Muslims who say "Turks don't have culture before Islam" don't understand the vastness and depth of Turkic culture, which far predates Islam It was Turks that breathed new life into the Persianate and Islamic world. Not the other way around

Kurdish legend of Kawa the smith (they left out the more grousome parts and that evil King was Assyrian)

Meanwhile Shiism has been brought to power by Turk rulers Sunnism is more Persian/İranian than Shiism which is basically (at least the current widespread state version) Turk You can just look at the big Sunni names (mostly Persians) İslam really would be down (Sunni and Shia) if Turks did not exist Shut up you A-rab Semite scum

🧵 The Legendary Pir Shaliyar Wedding of the Yarsani Kurds. High in the rugged peaks of the Hawraman region, within the stone-walled villages of the ancient mountains, time stands still every winter as a centuries-old legend comes to life. The Wedding of Pir Shaliyar is not merely a celebration; it is a dance of nature, love, and faith. According to legend, Pir Shaliyar was a wise Zoroastrian elder with mystical powers, deeply revered by his people. When the daughter of the King of Bukhara, Shah Bahar Khatun, fell into a mysterious silence that no physician could cure, it was the prayers and wisdom of Pir Shaliyar that restored her voice. In gratitude, the King offered his daughter’s hand in marriage. Lacking the wealth for a royal ceremony, the local community united to host a magnificent wedding for their beloved Pir. For over a thousand years, this tradition has been kept alive during the last week of January, marking the transition from the heart of winter to the first whispers of spring. The soul of this ceremony lies in the rhythmic pulse of the Daf (frame drum) echoing through the narrow alleys of Hawraman. Dervishes clad in traditional attire join hands in a trance-like state, performing mystical chants and spiritual circles known as Sema. Participants share sacred bread brought from the house of Pir Shaliyar, sacrifices are made, and the traditional "Hulane" soup is distributed from giant cauldrons. This festival is a profound testament to communal solidarity and an ancient cultural mosaic where pre-Islamic roots blend seamlessly with Sufi spirituality. The Yarsan Kurds (also known as Ahl-e Haqq) are one of the ancient communities of the Middle East, with a unique belief system dating back to the 14th century and the teachings of Sultan Sahak.
