I found these lines in a post by one of the members of our group CHERRI BARKER rather interesting or worthy of thought I would say .
She asks : Does the truth of Islam , not permeate the stars personal life ?
May the truth of Allah as portrayed in the film protect these actors from the evils of the flesh as they pursue the stardom of the world “.
She reflects the thoughts of some Viewers on the page ,who are tirelessly , pontificating in their comments , and have confused actors who are doing a part , following a script and being paid for it , with the 12th / 13 th century OGHUZ TURKS who were new converts to Islam , and were fighting for territory driven by the Mongols , and inspired by their belief in Allah .
Following the collapse of the OTTOMAN EMPIIRE ,Mustafa Kemal Ataturk led the Turkish war of independence , which defeated European powers who hoped to invade the crumbling empire .
For many Turks Ataturks’s achievements as founder of the Turkish Republic in 1923 from the ruins of the Ottomon Empire ,are sacred years making him a myth they rally behind ( and rightly so , considering how the rest of the world was divided ) His Republic would make a clean break from it’s Ottomon past ,replacing the Caliphate with Secularism ,and turning away from the Empires former Arab territories in favour of Europe .
His reforms known as Kemalism , altered virtually every aspect of Turkishlife for the next 80 years . He is the father of modern Turkey and these actors that we see grew up under his legacy .
The performers we see grew up in Modern Turkey , and are not synonymous with the Kayi tribe. They showcase a vital period in the history of Anatolia and the rise of the Ottomons . Their performance has taken the world by storm . THE AUDIENCE ARE NOT THEIR MORAL ADVISORS in their personal lives .
Enjoy their brilliance in recreating a very important period in Islamic and World history.
