The cultural actions of Zionism against the Ottoman Empire (4) – Part two

The Baha'i Faith at the time of Mirza Baha had extensive cooperation with the Zionists and the British officials and assisted the Freemasonry against Ottoman rule until Mirza Din passed away in 1892 and was buried in "Bahjí" close to "Aka".
Nevertheless, the cooperation and assistance of the Zionist Masonic continued after the death of Baha Mirza, at the time of his successor who was his son called Abdul Baha. For example, the cooperation between the Freemasonry and the Baha'i Faith can date back to 1911 to 1913 AD, at the time of the journeys of Abbas Effendi (Abdul-Baha) to "Europe" and "America" which can be pointed out as a turning point in the history of the sect. During this trip, it was attempted to show this new Prophet of East as an emerging symbol of a new human religion who could introduce the ideals of Freemasonry. Members of the World Association of Theosophists were the main orchestrators of the show and this association is one of the higher circles of Freemasonry in the West. Especially in "the United States of America”, he attended multiple meetings and spoke among the members of the Freemasonry. In 1947, when the United Nations formed a commission composed of the representatives of eleven countries that were to provide comments on the future of "Palestine", he was also sent to the region. The Baha'i leader, in a letter to the Commission, announced that the Jews and Judaism had more rights than the Muslims and Christians to "Jerusalem" and only the Baha'i faith was introduced and considered by the Jews to be of the same position.

Ismail Raein is of the opinion that:

"During the First World War, the British support of the Effendi grew more and more. The Baha'I religion was employed and made several moves against the Ottomans in favor of the British army in the land of" Palestine

Shoghi Rabani writes in this connection:

"Lord Korzon and other members of the cabinet of Britain itself were directly and primarily notified of the life-threatening situation of Haifa. On the other hand, Lord Laynecton made the authorities consider the character and the significance of the "Abdul-albaha" with an immediate report of the circumstances and when this report reached the Office of the Foreign Ministry of the country, it attracted the attention of Lord Balfour who was the Foreign Minister at that time. On the same day, the order was sent and received by a telegram to the Britain's army chief Gen. Allene who was stationed in Palestine and it was mentioned with assertion that he must try strongly to protect Abdul-Al-Baha and his family and his friends.
He again emphasizing the unity of the Baha'i and 'British' government says elsewhere:
"The British government, according to the usual procedures that appreciates and honors the actions of heroes gave Abdul-Baha the honor medal of Knight Hood and he was proud to accept it as a formality pointing to the respect of a righteous king. Perhaps, the reason for receving this medal and title was the outstanding assistance offered by Baha'u'llah in the provision of food and services to the British army in the Palestinian land and the expulsion of the Ottomans."
Another confirmation of the strategic alliance between Zionism and the Baha'I faith, was the speech of the Jewish representative to address the year 1300 (November 29, 1921 AD) on the Abdulbaha’s burial day in the community of ten thousand people. This Jewish representative said:
"Baha's death, he said, after the tyranny and religious prejudices and the violation of the freedom of thought in this world had damaged his spirit. He was jailed for many years in in the city of Aka’a which was the Bastille of the Ottoman Empire." Baghdad” which is the capital of the ‘Abbasid’ experienced his detention and that of his father and "Iran" which is the cradle of ancient philosophy expelled these divine beings who created the faith in the same land in which they were born. Do you not see the events of the divine who will always promise to allocate the holy lands of the past in Samia as the source of the future for such thoughts?"

3.4 -Puritanism:

After the Renaissance, the Christian church led by Luther (1483-1546M) the founder of the material (worldly) Christian theology went through tremendous changes and this was in opposition with the spiritual fashion of Christianity. Therefore, the issues related to the return and revision of the Christians in the Old Testament or in Torah were shaped in a new movement which was spread among many Christians. Luther, in his book "Jesus Christ was born a Jew" in 1523 AD promoted the idea of an earthly paradise. After St. Paul, he was the architect of the second deviation in Christianity which was created in this way and he wrote many treatises such as "the theology of heaven" - "decisions" - "open letter" - "the Babylonian Captivity of the Church" - "Christian liberty" - " Stephen Pope and against the false priests "-" Warning for peace and political power of obedience to their rulers' to fight and stand against the Catholic Church and European kings and princes.
Luther published his most important work, the German translation of "Torah", and thus called the people to join the modern religious tendencies of Christianity and managed to attract countless fans thus laying the primary basis for the establishment of the school of Protestantism in Christianity.
After discussions with the representative of the Pope, he drafted the discussions and sent it to his friend while he wrote:
"I am sending you this invaluable text to let you see if I am not right in claiming that the anti-Christ (the Antichrist) is governed by the Vatican? In my opinion, he is worse than the Turks (of the Ottoman Empire)."
In any case, as pronounced in his Turanic thoughts, the Pope and the Ottoman caliph were condemned to being destroyed and perished. Furthermore, in the same line, the religious decrees led to various changes according to two crucial principles: First, that the sole religious document and evidence is the Holy Book and, secondly, that only having faith in Jesus Christ will bring salvation. This process led to major changes.
For instance, the concept of interest in wealth which was forbidden in the Catholic Christianity, was legislated in the Protestant Christianity and was then spread rapidly along with the development of Protestantism in Europe. Praising the Jews and thinking of the Jewish people as superior and knowing the great land of "Palestine" as the so-called Promised Land and the holy land promised to the Jewish people by God were of the other features and claims of this new faith and the Lutheran Protestantism was given this characteristic as well. In his book, "Jesus Christ was born a Jew," he wrote:
"Jewish relatives of our Lord (Jesus) are brothers and cousins to him. The audience of my words is the Catholics. If you are tired of calling me infidels, it is better for you to call me a Jew."
In general, it can be said:
The rise of Protestantism and the Enlightenment added a new spirit to "Europe". While Protestants in "United Kingdom" and later in the "United States", were known as heirs of the lost ten tribes of Jews. For this reason, the support for the return of the Jews as the rightful owners of the "Holy Land", was respectively emphasized. According to the teachings and beliefs of some branches of Protestantism, it is assumed that Christ returns only after the Jews are again settled in their promised land.
Since the spirit of the Protestant culture is emanating from the "Bible" and Judaism, a Jewish-born Protestant William Tyndell established a new school of puritanism. Moreover, when the British and the Irish in the 17th century gave it support, most of them were so extreme as to lead many Christian believers who were willing to return to Zion and to the Talmudic Judaism. Therefore, the extremist Protestant residing in "England" were called Puritans. They tend to approach Hebrew and the Torah, and thought that "the American homeland" is the same Israel and the Promised Land, and many of them immigrated to assume new rules and later they established American puritanism. In this regard, Reza Helal writes in this connection:
"The Puritan wanted to purify the Church of England, but the tyranny of the monarchy during the reign of James I and Charles I caused them to move from England and go to the New World, to perform religious practices. For this reason, the Puritans in 1630 AD set up settlements in the colonies to which they immigrated. The Puritans took the language of Hebrew to North America and they published the first book of theirs, which was the “travels of Psalms” as the first book in the New World. In 1663, they paid the cost of founding the Harvard University with the help of John Harvard with the price about 1,800 Guinea sterling and they later equipped its library, and established the university. One of the conditions for the acceptance at the university was the ability to translate the Hebrew texts into Latin which was the main law.
This heretical religion, in social contexts, is a new outlet of the Protestant Christianity and a religious cover for secular and immoral behavior. It is well known that the issue of sexual relationships between men and women among these groups is of the immoral kind and these relationships are weak. Nevertheless, the concept of Puritanism in the terms used today, more often than not, conveys an escape from religion and the congregation.
In the political approach of the Puritan settlement in "America" and strengthening their belief in the Messiah in "Palestine" and the return to Israel and establishing a Jewish state in Palestine, they were led to have a confrontation with the Ottoman Empire and try to subvert it. Hence, many contacts were made to strengthen the Protestants who were living in "the Middle East" with the aim of penetrating the Ottoman Empire, including the centers of Protestantism in "Syria" and "Lebanon" before the collapse of the Ottoman Empire which can be noted in this regard.
4-4 -The Israelis in Britain:
In 1656 AD the Puritans of the island of "England" formed a sect called the "British Israelis" which was then established and was led by John Sadler and Menashe Ben Israel compromising with Cromwell and Sadler who claimed to have discovered the history of the rise of Christianity in the year AD 1648. Of course, in the history of Cromwell and Charles there was an overthrown rebellion. Britain and the rest of the nation of Israel believed that the lost tribes of Israel are descended from the British. They provided the elementary ground for the British government to work efficiently with Zionism and Jewish immigration to the occupied territories continued due to their activities.

4.5 Baptism:

Another branch of the Protestant sects that was founded in 1655 AD by Vavarsur Powell (1617-1660M) was created in England.
The cult leader predicted that the Jews will take back the land of "Canaan" from the Ottomans and will restore the Vavarsur Powell government. In the seventeenth century, interest in reviving the Israeli government into a deep and universal phenomenon in the British society and England became the first aim of the supporters of Zionism. Now, this cult in "America" is the largest Protestant sect.

4.6 Frankism:

Jacob Frank (1726-1791M), whose real name was Jacob Ben Yehuda is labeled with the Jews of "Kiev" in (Ukraine) and he had done some in-depth studies on the book of "Zohar" and "Kabbalah", a source of Jewish commentaries and interpretations which point out to this trend.
At the age of 27 years old he traveled to the coastal town of "Thessaloniki", where was introduced to a sect dönmeh (Jews, who were Muslims apparently) and after modeling them, he began the establishment of an apparently Christian cult. From 1756 AD up to 1760 AD, many followers of Frank were Catholic in appearance, but in fact had Jewish personalities (the wealthy minorities, rabbis and...) as member of his sect. The people of "Poland" were informed of that their existence in "Warsaw" and they were sensitive because in 1760 AD and during one of their meetings among the religious leaders, their obscene sexual behavior was revealed and the leader of the sect was arrested was exiled to "Czechoslovakia”. Frank could provide a coherent armed group in "Bruno" during his 13 years of residence. It was not until 1775 that in a trip to "Vienna" and after meeting with the crowned prince of "Habsburg", he promised the separation of parts of the Ottoman territories by an armed and hidden organization for the emperor of Austria.
It was after this meeting that the seemingly Christian Frankists who had traveled secretly to the Ottoman Empire and had strong relationships with the dönmeh took actions for creating a coalition in order to overthrow the Ottoman Empire. This coalition was created by other Jews and enemies of that Empire. Among the notions that Frank Jacob promised to his followers, we can refer to a revolution in Europe which consequently would destroy the Monarchists and the Catholic Church and the lands of the Ottoman Empire were seized by the revolutionaries under the orders from Frankist Dominiono.
After Jacob Frank’s death, his cousin Moshe who was named Franz Thomas Van Sconfield who was also a Jewish Kabala (Jewish traditional esotericism) and performed the enlightenment in the New Age.
In the mid-19th century, the link between the Frankists and the followers of Sabbatai Sevi Frankyst still continued and their leaders was a Hungarian Jew named Leopold Lowe. His many attempts to overthrow the Ottoman Empire through the followers of Sabbatai Sevi and the dönmeh of Thessaloniki, Izmir and Istanbul. At present, the Frankists as most of the groups and organizations affiliated with Zionism have maintained especial family relationships among themselves and they highly secure and protect the secrets of the cult.

4.7 Jehovah's Witnesses:

The Jehovah's Witnesses sect is a branch of the Christian Protestants. In 1822 AD an American named William Miller founded a religious movement with the promise of Christ's advent in 1843 in the name of the Christ waiters. After the fact that the advent of Christ did not occur in 1872 AD, Tsar individually named Charles Lassell (1852-1916M), an American Jew, who moved to "Germany" and declared the year 1874 as the year in which the advent will come and also predicted that the world will end in the year 1914. The aforementioned Zionist movement had considered the return to "Palestine" before the rise as the top priority of the cult. This movement, whose members called themselves the seekers of Torah lost its leader in the year 1916 and James Rutherford who was a lawyer was elected as the leader of this sect.
Finally, in 1931 the people who were demanding Torah completely became the Jehovah's Witnesses. From this day on, the followers of this sect only have one right which is the duty of obedience with heart and soul to spread this new regulation and to display it in their propaganda.
The central Organization Department of the Jehovah's Witnesses sect is a very powerful organization and is called the watch tower Bible and Tract society. The governing power of the sect lies in the hands of the members of the College based in "Brooklyn". Central College members are 14 individuals. More than 5 million followers of this sect are scattered in 229 countries.

4.8 The fifth monarchy subjects:

During the Puritan Revolution in "England" to support Cromwell, respectively, the sect mentioned by Thomas Wenner was established. They are also advocates of the 1648 revolution. They believed they must try to facilitate the return of the Jews to the "Holy Land". Menashe Ben Israel was of the famous Zionist supporters of the movement.
What is meant by the subjects of the fifth dynasty is the citizens of a great empire that after the last four great reigns namely of "Babylon", "Persia", "Greece" and "Roman" will be established.
This empire, as perceived by the members of the sect, is the same Kingdom of Israel in the world which will begin after the Puritans and Jews join hands and, in the age of the advent, it will evolve through the link between the rest of the Christians and Jews. In Jewish religious texts, such a government in accordance with the prophecy of Daniel will occur and the Prophet Jesus will begin the rule for a thousand years with his disciples.

4.9 The cult of wine:

The founder of the sect was called a Jewish rabbi Shalom Sharabi (1720-1777). In the 18th century, he moved from "Yemen" to "Palestine" and after some Sufi-oriented activities in "Jerusalem" he was able to attract some disciples. By imitation of the Jewish mystical tradition, the "Kabbalah", he founded a new cult and advised his followers to avoid political issues. The followers of this sect in "Palestine" and "Levant" were developed in the twentieth century as Dervishes and created centers for hermits.
Attracting the Arab and Muslim youth and encouraging them to leave the social life and pushing them towards non-political issues, helped to strengthen the Zionist objectives and their interests in the "Middle East" and especially Palestine.

4-10- Bektashiyya:

The founder of this sect Hadji Baktash was an immigrant from "Khorasan" and was an important Turkish Islamic sect which was founded in the 13th century and during the next century, it developed as a school around the "Anatolia" by the Seljuks and the Ottomans. The teachings of Baktash Haji Sufi Neyshabouri which was Shiite gradually grew between (the new forces) during the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth century. Janissary of the military conflict with Iran were somewhat familiar with Islamic mysticism which the school welcomed. The Jews in the Muslim Bektashi religious dönmeh with knowledge of the situation among the janissary troops and to dominate and control over Ottoman rule by the powerful military, to influence them in some circles and gradually Bektashiyya moved towards the hidden agenda proposed by the Jews who were pretending to be Muslims. Professor Avraham Alkayam (Ibrahim Algha’em), the Jewish scholar, says that Shabtay according to Zvi [Sabi Shabtai] after converting to Islam developed a close relationship with the Bektashi sect and often attended their rituals.
Another important point is joining Barkhiaroso the cult leader of dönmeh after Shabtay with the Bektashi sect which was known as the Islamic Bektashi Baba Osman and was buried in the cemetery of Bektas. The title “baba” which is attached to his name indicates the status Barokhiaroso in the Bektashi sect. But after being affected by the reform in 1826, Sultan Mahmoud II launched dissolving the janissary troops and the Bektashi sect also declared illegal. That part of the Bektashi caused by the actions of secret Jews was developed into a secret organization and with internal consistency they were well hidden and continued their secret destructive activities while the rest of the cult was refined. In this period of profound link between Bektas sect and Ottoman Freemasonry was established a new institution in the Ottoman bureaucracy had complete superiority. Bektas connection with Freemasonry has been so expanded that the official Masonic sources declare the Bektashi sect as a quasi-Masonic organization. Robert Fork Gould, a prominent historian Mason (in the history of Freemasonry) writes:
"The Turks have always had their own secret societies called the Bektashi sect and said that thousands of Muslims were members in its ranks. Albert Gallatin Mackie Mason the famous scholar in his book mentions the Bektashi sect as an Ottoman local Masonic organization.
According to the Lucy Garnett, Besmeh Sultan, the wife of Abdul-Majid the First, thinks that achieving a prominent position was due to the blessings of a stone which was in the "Moridoon quarter" near "Istanbul" in the tomb of a Bektashi saint named Chavoosh. According to the Bektashi, the light of the world, Sultan, mother of Sultan Abdul Aziz was a member of the Bektashi sect by one of the pro-cult leaders whose name was Baba Amin.
However, the Bektashi were diverted because of its religious and political perceptions of the government and for the main conflict over the Ottoman rule, which in the end led to the current challenges by both because the Ottomans believed they had deviate from Islamic principles and were mixed with non-Islamic sources of belief.
Bernard Lewis in his book "Istanbul and the Ottoman Empire civilization", explains that these non-Islamic sources were taken from the Christianity. After the closure of the 14 Bektashi convents in "Istanbul" in the year of 1210 (1831), the movement was hostile towards the Ottoman Empire and became a natural ally of the Zionists.
During the Ottoman Empire, the Bektashi was successful, its influence after his collaboration with the Young Turks which deposed Sultan Abdul Hamid II was increased. This collaboration was due to the correlation between the two movements. Mohammad Moufako (the Albanian thinker) believes that Talat Pasha and Ahmad Reza were associated with the Bektashi associations. Due to the subversion of the Bktashy- Jewish religion as a weapon used against the Ottomans, the Sunni Ottoman rulers to neutralize the support of the Bektashi sect tried to support the Molavi sect which believed in theosophical methods adopted by Jalal-Al-din Rumi. They planned to create a parallel sect with the Bektashi sect except that they had a more positive view of the Ottoman Empire.

4-11- Dervishes:

The orders are considered a withdrawal Marzanh in the Ottoman Empire, the son of a judge in "Smaon" (northwest Greece) Sheikh Badroddin Symavnany a major role in the destruction of the religious beliefs of the people in the Ottoman Empire was established. The father of the head of the sect was Jewish and was called Israel. Sheikh Badroddin proposed an ideological school similar to communism and attempted to promote and disseminate it. According to him, the world will be destroyed without being created. There is no life after death, there is no world outside the world. Spirit, though independent of the body, with the death of the body, the soul will die too.
Badroddin learned the Kabbalistic teachings in "Jerusalem" (which are the Sufi-oriented Jewish school of thought) with the political attitude to learn, he then went to "Cairo" to teach the son of the king of Egypt. At the time of conflict between the sons of Bayezid in order to seize power, he was close to Moses to be involved in the future government. However, with the death of Moses by Chalabi Mohammed, Badroddin formed a rebellion with the support of the biased Jews in 1416.
Badroddin’s effective methods of spreading words caused him to gain support of Zionism and because of the spread of his ideas and beliefs in "the Balkans" area he attracted many advocates.
After the death of Badroddin, his assistant Samuel K. Turlock with the nickname of the Jewish sect continued his mission and beliefs and due to the destructive activities, the Ottoman Sultan Murad Muhammad, during first and second in battle with the rebel groups in the "Balkans" confronted them. The followers of this sect in later years formed other groups including a dervish group and even some of them were attracted to the Bektashi sect.
