      I am deeply saddened by the fact that as an informative channel you haven't stated that a) this program and channel was removed from television due to it's frequent lies and false respresentation and manipulative aspects b) that the group was actually classed as a cult and that the 'kittens' were often blackmailed and forced into representing and working for the show c) This man is in prison and will remain in prison until his death due to charges such as 'Cult Leadership', 'Fraud', 'Blackmailing', 'Espionage' and 'High Level Sexual Harassment' d) all women have been freed from this group and many have spoken out about the horrific things they had to go through. Posting this video without any of this information and without any proper information on the group fails to show the actual darkness and horrid truths, and portrays İslam, İslam's many branches, and İstanbul, along with the rest of Turkey, as lawless, meaningless and depthless. I wish you would've cared to show more conversations had with Turkish and/or İslamic Feminists. I wish you would've researched into the topic and spoken to journalists and activits about the situation. This is an old video posted today, in 2020, and you didn't even care to add the current situation and developments to the end of the video as some text. I have lost all my trust as a viewer towards the Refinery29 family, and urge you to share videos with actual informative value whilst showing all of the story. If you want to look like you care about other cultures and lives, don't misrepresent and don't share only a portion of the story.

    This man is now in jail because he has many crimes, from women's trafficking to fraud. In Turkey, this man is known as one engaged in prostitution, and not be loved by anyone. In addition, most of the scenes seen in TV series and movies are an exaggeration about Turkey. Istanbul or Turkey is not such a place, literally. It contains many religions and views which is such a normal thing. Moreover, Islam is not something as mentioned here. Unfortunately, just recently it has done such things to discredit Turkey. If you can research the right things from the right sources, you can better learn the accuracy or inaccuracy of what is described in this video. Thank you :)

Oh, my God! 💔💔He exploits women and adjusts their forms with almost fatal plastic assembling surgeries, and shows them in his TV show to dance with him and he keeps saying words that have nothing to do with reality or anything related! He's using women.💔💔💔💔💔💔💔, And I mean, it's the man who's trying to make money and fame because the girl who's looking has worked hard to reveal this to everyone♥️♥️

I would try not to take it so personally, next cult they may interview could be anywhere in the world. Believe me when I say that most viewers are not assuming that such tiny cult represents what Turkey is. It would be silly to assume that this represents an entire nation.

Not every women is covering their heads for ex:) You should also search for Nisantasi, Bagdat Caddesi, Caddebostan beach side, Kanlica etc. To have a better understanding when we are talking about Istanbul.

    I find it unpleasant that you’re using this time to re-upload this particular video which was made some time ago. Turkey is suffering with issues with femicde recently which has brought outrage worldwide, and it seems that you’re using this to re-immerse an old story and provoke more reaction/join the trend. If you truly support women’s rights in Turkey/globally, then make something rightful to the current situation. Do not re-introduce this stupidity which has already been dealt with. This man is in prison and this is an old story.

It was not necessary to be brought up again, there are other things that can be talked about which can be more influential/useful in the terms of talking about femicide. They may have mentioned the year, but they should have included more context about the present situation. It is easy to miss it and assume that this video is recent if you do not know the context of this story. If this video is five years old, then they had plenty of time to edit and add this contextual information. All it took was to add a two-minute long disclaimer at the beginning of the video addressing this.

      Except she explained that he pulled ideas from multiple religions, so no one believes this is true Islam. He uses the term Islam to try to catch the eye of future recruits. Also, since you posted this, the court of appeals overturned his case and sent it back to retrial. So if you want them to update, you should probably donate money so they can hire a new employee whose sole job it is to check all of their videos for the most recent information and update them. I think most people understand that unless you are watching the current news, there is always a chance that things have happened since then.

      Mohammed split the moon according to their Quran and lots of misspellings or errors what kinda God is that if he himself can't even spell and say what he wants to do properly, read the Quran it will say kill the non believers kill kill kill and then in the next sentence it says forgive them and go to the people of the book 😂 so first Allah tells kill and then he contradicts himself WHY?. It is a cult. Can't you see. They walked naked around the kabba also and kiss a stone send by the ALLAH. We have to idol worship. Its not it's this cult. It is a CULT. It's many people are misinformed about the Quran and Donkey brained Mohammed and his flying Donkey, Allah the dumb God. I can make a lot of Muslims instantly leave islam in a slap. Lookup Christian Prince he will inform you about the Quran with talks with Muslims himself!. But they are victims we do not hate them we wanna forgive them, because my God that came down in the flesh "Forgive them father for they do not know what they do" and you wanna save as many from this stupid religion. It's a dangerous religion for all of us you know that Allah said they can lie to people? You know what they call that? Taqqiya. Yes Allah (Satan) allowed people to lie. So their God is the exact opposite of ours. The bible tells me "Satan is the deceiver of the whole world" Revelation 12:9 read your bible. if i can see satan where would he be. With people he can twist peoples minds with something. Allah is Satan. And Mohammed believed he was possessed by a demon. Which is clearly true if he lived today let me tell you he would be having all the disorders 😂. By their fruits you shall know them. I am afraid after reading this you might wanna edit your comment. Cause it is true, just open up the Quran on Sunnah.com and read some of it it's hilarious. Their God doesn't know what he must do sometimes or how science works. It's laughable. Just for you're research do it and you will find quickly you're mind has changed and you are left with confusion and laughter on some things. It's a true story about some one born in Saudi Arabia and when he reached to the age of forty, he claimed that he is a prophet of God, he receives inspiration through a holy Angel and God chose him to seal the prophet hood. His book is the final and the perfect and his followers are the best creation on earth. He encouraged his people to kill, rape, torture, steal, and said that it was God's commands. He had a billion followers through fifteen centuries and his followers are looking for more killers to follow them. Its just the Muslims of today don't know their own book. Not only that they have more then one book YES NOT ONE BUT MANY. The hadiths needed because apparently the holy Quran wasn't enough killing and rape and stupidity. This video is a joke i laughed all the way through knowing the truth. So does my lord. When he comes back we will see Allah finally fall.

      Respectfully, I would highly encourage you to research more about Islam, or other religions for that matter, as often what we are ahown in the media etc is v biased
      For eg, for a person living in an Eastern country, seeing school shootings in America might make me think that that is what their religion is promoting, its a v misleading way to form prejudices based on j an article or news report
      I would encourage u to not just search on Google etc and instead we should all try to have a respectful open minded approach and really study the religious texts etc to fully get what it is all about
      I highly encourage you to read the Quran with an open heart and mind and I'm sure you will understand what we really mean by saying that this is not Islamic in any way

    • @sara-qq5cl
      @sara-qq5cl 3 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      There is a direct correlation between islam and feminism tho... islam was the first religion to give women rights, to forbid people burying their children because they were female, islam also gave women the right to mehr which is money their fiancee gives to marry them.
      Furthermore, islam made life for women better; God made it so that it was a husband's right to make sure the wife has been fed, has money etc, but a woman's right is that the money they own, her husband cannot touch.
      In Islam, God made it so that forced marriages, if it be a man being forced, or a woman being forced it is forbidden! So for example, if they then had intercourse, it would be classed as r*pe and then by Islamic law the man or woman would he dealth with in accordance with the islamic law. Before anyone comments about the Islamic law being barbaric, lemme just tell you that womens rights stem from islamic law, and most countries have adopted most aspects of the islamic law.
      If u have any questions, please let me know
      (Edit:)
      Also, i cant believe i forgot to mention this, but islam was the reason many women back then were allowed education, the first university in the world was opened by a Muslim woman! I just want ti highlight that islam is NOT what the media portrays it to be, the media like angles which give them views and reactions. I think if one believes the media it just shows that they are completely naive, impressionable,m and says a lot abt their character; they are ignorant and dont want to listen to the truth, for example the media portrays black people to be part of gangs and criminal activity, but someone with a sense of reality, competence and a brain will be able to determine that, that is completely false.

    I believe when reporting on a controversial “religious” or social group, it’s imperative that the reporter does his or her homework and asks questions that are relative to the participants’ sociopolitical location. It’s easy to say these women were brainwashed; however there’s a deeper story here. And that’s a story any country can relate to, especially considering that this whole situation is eerie because it highlights the hyper sexualization of women and the unexplained wealth of men at the top of the social structure (which is a narrative all countries are guilty of sponsoring).

He is also pretty handsome. No wonder he has managed to establish his cult. But as things go with cults, he ended up in prison on charges of fraud, blackmailing and sexual harassment. So a lot of bad stuff happened behind closed doors, which wasn't surprising. I hope the women who were abused by him and his cult are doing better these days ...
