KIZILBAS OR ALEVI'S ARE PART OF THE MUSLIM OR ISLAMIC FAITH.
THESE GROUPS POTRAY THEMSELVES AS A BRANCH OF THE ISLAMIC FAITH BECAUSE OF INSTITUTIONAL RELIGIOUS SUPPORT TO THE SUNNI-HANEFI SECT IN TURKEY.
THE KIZILBAS OR ALEVI GROUP HAVE FACED MANY ATROCITIES IN OTTOMAN AND THE PRESENT DAY TURKISH REPUBLIC BECAUSE OF THEIR FAITH AND WAY OF LIFE.
THEY ARE IDENTIFIED BY MANY INTELLECTUALS IN TURKEY AS THE ONLY TRULY TURKISH (CULTURALLY AND ETHNICALLY) IN TURKEY.
IT IS WRONG TO PERCEVE THIS GROUP AS A BRANCH OF ISLAM.
THEY ARE IDENTIFIED AS MUSLIMS BECAUSE THEY LIVE IN A COUNTRY WHERE MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION IS MUSLIM AND ADHERENT TO THE RELIGION OF ISLAM. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.234.28.71 (talk) 21:24, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
