  • How Does Political Hate Speech Fuel Hate Crimes in Turkey?
    IJCJ&SD 9(4) 2020 ISSN 2202-8005 Planting Hate Speech to Harvest Hatred: How Does Political Hate Speech Fuel Hate Crimes in Turkey? Barbara Perry University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Canada Davut Akca University of Saskatchewan, Canada Fatih Karakus University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Canada Mehmet F Bastug Lakehead University, Canada Abstract Hate crimes against dissident groups are on the rise in Turkey, and political hate speech might have a triggering effect on this trend. In this study, the relationship between political hate speech against the Gulen Movement and the hate crimes perpetrated by ordinary people was examined through semi-structured interviews and surveys with victims. The findings suggest that a rise in political hate rhetoric targeting a given group might result in a corresponding rise in hate crimes committed against them, the effects of which have been largely overlooked in the current literature in the evolving Turkish context. Keywords Political hate speech; hate crimes; doing difference; group libel.

  • Toward a Conceptual Framework for Mixed-Method Evaluation Designs
    A CROSS-NATIONAL STUDY OF THE RELATIONSHIPS AMONG THE RISK FACTORS FOR RADICALIZATION: PERCEIVED ISLAMOPHOBIA, IDENTITY CRISIS, AND POOR INTEGRATION by MEHMET FATIH BASTUG A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Global Affairs written under the direction of Dr. Norman Samuels and approved by Dr. Leslie Kennedy Dr. Mercer Sullivan Dr. Murat Ozer Newark, New Jersey May, 2016 2016 Mehmet Fatih Bastug ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION A Cross-national Study of the Relationships among the Risk Factors for Radicalization: Perceived Islamophobia, Identity Crisis, and Poor Integration By MEHMET FATIH BASTUG Dissertation Director: Dr. Norman Samuels Existing literature on radicalization leading to violent extremism covers a wide range of issues and areas of concern, including theories and models of radicalization and the radicalization process, as well as triggers, catalysts, and risk factors for the emergence of radicalization. Scholars have identified various risk factors that influence the likelihood of violent radicalization. However, a review of literature on radicalization reveals that there is a lack of thorough analysis of how major risk factors relate to each other. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between major risk factors for radicalization by combining them in a single model. Three risk factors were selected for this study: perceived Islamophobia, poor integration, and identity crisis. These risk factors are critical for understanding the early stages of the radicalization process of Muslim individuals who live in Western societies.

  • Senses of Belonging and Identity Within North American Turkish Diaspora in the Post-9/11 Era
    American Journal of Qualitative Research June 2020, Vol.4 No. 1, pp. 1-15 https://doi.org/10.29333/ajqr/7841 © 2020 AJQR. http://www.ajqr.org ISSN: 2576-2141 Senses of Belonging and Identity within North American Turkish Diaspora in the post-9/11 Era Mehmet F. Bastug1 Lakehead University ABSTRACT The Turkish diaspora is growing rapidly in North America. Despite the vast number of studies investigated social integration and the identity construction of Turkish immigrants in European countries, Turkish communities in the United States and Canada attracted lesser attention in the academic literature. This paper seeks to understand the identity formation and acculturation attitudes of Turks and their perceptions of rejection and acceptance from their respective societies in a post 9/11 context through interviews with Turkish opinion/community leaders living in the United States and Canada. KEYWORDS: Acculturation, Identity Formation, Islamophobia, Turkish Diaspora, Turkish- Americans, Turkish-Canadians. Introduction Research shows that perceived group-based rejection has an influence on the identity formation of minorities (Kunst, Tajamal, Ulleberg, & Sam, 2012; Matrinovic & Verkuyten, 2012; Verkuyten & Yildiz, 2007). Various forms of religious stigma may trigger a religious identity threat, and in order to cope with such an identity threat, stigmatized groups are more likely to decrease their identification with their host nation (Kunst et al., 2012). Verkuyten and Yildiz (2007) found that perceived group rejection was associated with decreased national identification and increased religious identification among Turkish-Dutch Muslim participants. In a similar vein, Matrinovic and Verkuyten (2012) found a positive relationship between perceived discrimination and religious identification in a sample of Turkish Muslims from Germany and the Netherlands.

  • 'Turkish Passport': a Holocaust Story with a Happy
    ‘Turkish Passport’: A Holocaust story with a happy ending/ Turkey Rising Internationally Notes for Hon. David Kilgour Main library amphitheatre Ottawa 16 May 2012 The excellent film we just saw, sponsored by the Intercultural Dialogue Institute and Dr. Yavuz Zeybek, recalls how diplomats posted to Turkish embassies and consulates in a number of European countries saved hundreds of Jewish lives during the Holocaust. It makes us all proud to be Turkish, Turkish-Canadians or Canadian friends of Turkey. Permit me as a Canadian born during one of the years when these heroic acts were taking place to congratulate and thank, albeit seven decades late, each and every Turkish diplomat, or more realistically their families, actively involved with saving Jewish lives. One of Hitler’s intended victims in Poland, where his agents murdered approximately three million Jewish civilians, was Dr Truda Rosenberg, who will speak in a few moments. Dr Rosenberg lived with her family in Lwo’w (today Lviv and part of Ukraine), which was invaded as part of Poland, first by Stalin, then by Hitler, and later by Stalin again. The Yale history professor Timothy Snyder’s 2010 book, Bloodlands, about middle Europe from central Poland to western Russia, details how approximately 14 million civilians, mostly women, children and the aged, were murdered by this hideous pair in seven targeted countries. Snyder has noted that the most dangerous place of all to be a disfavoured person was in Lwo’w. Dr Rosenberg was saved by multiple acts of great courage by others and herself in both Poland and Germany during five terrifying years.
