  • Orhan Kolog˘Lu RENEGADES and the CASE ULUÇ/KILIÇ ALI ·
    Orhan Kolog˘lu RENEGADES AND THE CASE · ULUÇ/KILIÇ ALI In the history of the Mediterranean region, the Renegade of the Christians who becomes a Mühtedi by joining the Muslim religion, has played an important role. In European languages the Renegade is the person who abandons Christianity for a different faith. The Mühtedi, on the other hand, according to Muslim and Turkish communities, is the person of another faith who embraces Islam. Since Islam began to spread 600 years after Christianity, it gathered its early followers among pagans, a few Jews but especially Christians. Its rapid spread over Syria, Egypt, North Africa, Sicily, Spain and into central France indicates that all Mediterranean communities were largely affected by the religion. Christianity, which had become the domineering and ruling faith through Papacy and the Byzantine Empire, was now lar- gely disturbed by this competitor. For this reason, it was only natural that both sides scrutinized the Renegade/Mühtedi very closely. The concern of one side in losing a believer matched the concern of the other side in preventing the loss of the Mühtedi, who is then called a Mürted (apostate, the verb is irtidad). European research on this subject outweighs the research done by Muslims, because renegades had not only been, quantitative-wise, many times more than mürteds, but also they played more important roles as history-makers in the Mediterranean. Muslim indifference to their past is easily understandable because the interest was focused only on their activities as Muslims. However, European research bears the mark of the Christian perspective and has a reactionary approach.

    A. Z. Kozanoğlu Türk Korsanları / 1 BĐRĐNCĐ KISIM KORSAN ORUÇ REĐS - Pruvada düşman var! Bir gök gürültüsünü andıran bu ses geminin içinde sanki bir fırtına kopardı. Yelkenler üzerinde bir rüzgâr esti. Güvertede, kasaraların üstünde, mizana ve tirenkete direklerinde sayısız korsan, kum deryaları gibi kaynaştı. Palabıyıklılar, kesik kollular, tahta bacaklılar, kelleleri kazınmışlar, tek gözlüler, tunç vücutlarında yaşlarından daha çok yara izi taşıyan genç leventler çabuk, fakat bir şaşkınlığa kapılmadan, yerlerine geçtiler. Geminin ön kasarasında, rüzgâr ve hülyalarla sarsılarak yedi telli sazı "lir"!1 göğsüne basıp bir duygu ve şaşkınlık kaynağı gibi kalbinden denize şelaleler döken Sinan Reis, denizle göğün öpüştüğü yerde yabancı bir geminin direklerini seçince, elindeki sazı, fırlatıp o korkunç narayı atmıştı. - Pruvada düşman var! Güvertede biriken korsanların arasında, gelen gemiyi seçeme-mekten doğan bir heyecan başlamıştı. - Allah bilir, gelen Sen Con (Saint-Jean) şövalyeleridir! - Onlar burada ne arar bre? - Yoksa Cenevizliler mi? 1 Lir, Midilli adasından çıktığı söylenen bir çeşit sazdır. 8 / Abdullah Ziya Kozanoğlu - Nereden geçiyoruz, babalık? Đki kalp beşliğe oynuyorum, Rodos hakimi ve Sen Con beyi Piyer de Busson'un korsanlan geliyor.2 Đçlerinden birisi, bu söz üzerine, uzun bir ıslık çaldı: - Çelebi'nin dediği doğru çıkarsa, iki kalp beşliği yanında ahrete götürecek, hadi hayırlısı... Bu gürültüler, bu şakalaşmalar arasında ortaya atılan en doğru söz bu oldu. Gelenler eğer Rodos şövalyeleri ise, genç gemici doğru söylemiş sayılırdı. Türklerin gemileri hem küçük, hem de içindekilerin sayısı azdı. Zaman geçtikçe mor denizin üstünde kocaman bir orman gibi büyüyen sayısız direklerden anlaşılıyor ki, yaklaşan donanmada en az sekiz on "galer" ve bir o kadar da "kadırga" vardı. Şimdi eller alınlarda, keskin bakışlar denizin gözleri kamaştıran sislerini delecek gibi süzüyor, yaklaşan düşman gemileri inceden inceye kontrol ediliyordu.

Sus coetáneos demostraron más admiración que críticas para con aquel temible enemigo (especialmente en lo que hace referencia al litoral italiano). Posteriormente cuando Dragut consiguió conquistar casi todo el litoral oriental tunecino (Madhía, Susa y demas ciudades), rompió nuevamente el frágil equilibrio hispano-otomano. En realidad, Dragut fue para Túnez lo que los Barbarroja para Argel, el liquidador de la influencia española en Túnez, a partir de entonces convertida en Regencia bajo dominio otomano. Ese papel de Dragut explica que, con posterioridad a su muerte, los cronistas que relaten la historia de los monarcas españoles tiendan a demonizarlo al comprender el papel que Dragut había desempeñado en la batalla por el control del Magreb.

  • The Scattered Fleet Prologue Don Juan De Austria , Half
    The scattered fleet Prologue Don Juan de Austria , half- brother of King Philip II of Spain, glanced up towards the light blue banner with the image of crucified Christ given him by the Pope and prayed for the victory. Then, surrounded by shouts and cries of enthusiasm, he made as if he was dancing. He was twenty-four years old and he was in command of the most powerful war fleet ever put to sea by the Christendom against the Turkish. On board of the Marquesa , a ship of the League, a young Spanish fevered soldier reached his combat station watching the lifeboats: his name was Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. On board of the Real (Royal) , an arquebusier without beard and moustache and with delicate features was trying to hide his face and his tension: Maria la Bailadora (Mary The Dancer ) had dressed herself as a man to be close to her own lover. Muezzinzade Ali Pasha, commander of the Ottoman fleet, made erect on the mainmast of his flagship Sultana the white banner on which women's hands had embroidered Allah’s ninety-nine names and attributes repeated thousands of times and he took leave of his teenage children. Then he made shoot a cannon shot with blanks. From the Real , the flagship of the League, Don Juan ordered to return with real bullets. The battle of Lepanto had begun. It was October 7, 1571, Sunday. The disputed sea The way towards Lepanto had been long, tortuous, bloody and marked, from both sides, by cruelties and by excesses, by indecisions and mistakes, by victories and defeats, by successes and failures .

    chapter 3 Spain, Land of Refuge and Survival for Thousands of Muslims: Sixteenth to Eighteenth Centuries We have already described how Moriscos and slaves have attracted the greatest attention from historians, who have barely begun to turn to the many, previ- ously neglected free Muslims living in Spain: exiles, merchants, adventurers, military men, spies, converts, and others.1 The eighteenth century has received the least scrutiny, since the Morisco period was over and Muslim slavery grad- ually disappeared after the Spanish monarchy signed treaties of peace, friend- ship, and trade with the Sultan of Morocco, the Dey of Algiers, the Beys of Tunis and Tripoli, and the Ottoman Caliph. The growing number of Muslims who came to Spain after the establishment of peaceful relations has largely been ignored. We have also observed that the maritime frontier between Spain and Mus- lim lands should not be called “forgotten,” since it was always being crossed; indeed, like all borders, it was always porous.2 It was certainly never forgotten by all the Muslims who sought refuge in Spain for shorter or longer periods. A notable group were the exiles from royal families who had lost their thrones and who traveled with their trains of relatives and partisans (see Chapter 2). Others were fleeing the authorities in their homelands, sometimes for hav- ing converted to Christianity or committed serious crimes such as homicides. Many more were refugees from the frequent famines in the region, preferring slavery in a Christian country to death by starvation in their own.

  • Arkas Takes Delivery of Turkey's Largest Container Vessel
    may 2011 no : 11 / 337 Arkas takes delivery of Turkey’s largest container vessel Horace Dumitrescu, Kemal Aktaş, Diane Arcas Aktaş, Evrim Hakyemez, Ömür Hakyemez, Gülbeniz Arkas, Lucien Arkas, Bernard Arcas A pioneering company in the shipping sector, Arkas took delivery of the Turkish flagged Gülbeniz A, which is capable of transporting 2,500 TEU, in a ceremony at the Volkswerft Stralsund Shipyard in Germany. As the owner of the largest fleet of container vessels in Turkey, Arkas has raised the number of its container vessels flying the Turkish flag to 26 by adding a new vessel named Gülbeniz A, thus increasing its container transportation capacity to 36,830 TEU. The ship’s delivery ceremony was held on Saturday, April 16th at the Volkswerft Stralsund Shipyards owned by the Hegeman Yard Group. In remarks at the ceremony by shipyard manager Axel Schulz and Arkas Holding Chairman Lucien Arkas, they both emphasized the healthy cooperation based on trust that has been developed between the Hegeman Yard Group and Arkas over the last 12 years. Arkas Holding Chairman Lucien Arkas said, “To date, the Hegemann Yard Group has built 18 vessels for Arkas. We are very satisfied with the excellent workmanship, production quality and the technology used in all the vessels. Volkswerft Stralsund shipyards are the largest indoor shipyards in Germany. The vessels are built in a covered hangar without being affected by the weather and then launched with a slip. This has a significant effect on the quality of the vessel in areas from the sheet metal to the paint. Gülbeniz A will begin operations immediately, and due to its capacity, it will operate in Africa.
