Some Marginal Mahdi Typologies and Discourse Analyzes

The Qur'an and sunnah, the main sources of Islam, happen to be used in favour of personal goals and intentions for some people and/or groups to achieve. However, in order to influence people and to bring them to their fronts these two sources by means of dreams, oracles, prophecies and some publications become eventually disfunctional. Some marginal types, apart from large familiar structures, are using this method as well. Adnan Oktar, Serdar Ciftci, Iskender Evrenesoglu, and so on, who define themselves as spiritual authority for the salvation of mankind, regard their subjective experiences as a source of religion in the transmission of religious knowledge. At the same time they introduce themselves as the source of peace. Despite hundreds having been in the same allegation throughout the history, none brought any peace, yet they themselves were the cause of trouble. Even now, the aforementioned names in our work, victimised dozens of families and their legal investigations are still ongoing. Ultimately, these typologies offer nothing but dissension and depression to Islamic world instead of peace and unity. We intend to analyse some of these day-by-day-multiplying marginalised Mahdi typologies and their discourses
