| Abstract
|
:
|
In the late 15<sup>th</sup> century, some Sufi-linked groups in Anatolia supported the Safavid cause against the Ottomans. These groups were labeled as Qizilbash (literally, 'red head'), derived from their distinctive twelve-gored crimson headwear, and persecuted as political rebels and religious heretics by the Ottomans. In parallel with the gradual decline of the Safavid influence among Anatolian supporters, they transformed into an isolated socioreligious community in the l7<sup>th</sup> century. Qizilbash religiosity has often been described with either pejorative terms of Islamic theology such as <i> glutlat</i> (extremist Shi`i) and <i>batini</i> (esoteric), or of Western scholarship such as heterodoxy, syncretism, and folk/popular religion. The available scholarship studied the early phase of the Qizilbash tradition from the official perspectives of the Ottomans and Safavids. However, due to the lack of sufficient official records about the later development of the Anatolian Qizilbash tradition, transformation of the Qizilbash community to today's Alevis remains largely controversial.
