Turki Muda Dan Freemason


Pendokong kumpulan Turki Muda (Young Turks) turut pengaruh dengan gerakan Freemason Menjelang 1908 rrmai tokoh Turki Muda yang menghebah penyertaan mereka dalam Freemason Antara mereka adalah Ahmed Rıza Bey, Mehmet Talat, Nazim Bey, Djemal Bey, Midhat Shukru, Huseyin Hilmi Pasha, and many others. 

None of them tried to hide his ties with the masonic creed. One of the consequences of the Young Turk revolution was that, from the summer of 1908 onward, there was an unprecented rush to join the lodges. The “Macedonia Risorta” was the principal beneficiary of this sudden enthusiasm of the Ottoman elites for freemasonry.

Berikutnya pada 1909 satu lagi gelombang Freemason tercetus di kalangan Turki Muda Mereka yang terlibat antaranya adalah Musa Kazim Efendi, Mehmet Cait Bey dan Riza Tevfik.

Thus, the “Constitution”, a Spanish lodge which had managed to recruit key figures such as
the sheikh-ul-islam Musa kâzim Efendi, the minister of Finance Mehmet Cavit Bey and the
philosopher Riza Tevfik, was won over to the Ottoman
Grand Orient in December 1909.

Tokoh Turki Ottoman Sertai Freemason

 

Gerakan Freemason era Ottoman turut mendapat penyertaan golonag elit Muslim Turki. Antara nama tokoh yang menyertai Freemason adalah Mustapha Fazil, Prince Murad dan penulis Namik Kemal. Mereka menyertai Freemason di bawah naungan lodge kendalian Greek. Yang lainnya adalah the grand vizier Mustafa Reshid Pasha yang menyertai Freemason atas pelawaan Lord Rading. Mustafa Reshid Pasha juga merupakan penggerak utama usaha reform Ottoman Turki.

The Greek lodge “I Proodos” (Progress) owed to one of its members, the banker Cleanthi Scalieri, the recruitment of nearly twenty important names of the Ottoman elite, the most renowned of them being Mustafa Fazil, a member of the Egyptian khedivial family, the Imperial Prince Murad, and the prolific writer Namik Kemal

Antara yang keras menentang Freemason pula adalah Ethem Pertev Pasha (1824-1871), yang pernah memegang jawatan who served Governor of Kastamonu. Antara lain gerakan pimpinan Ethem Pasha menegas bahawa 'It insistingly maintains that Islam and freemasonry are incompatible and that the sole target of freemasons is to convert Moslems to Christianity '.

Tokoh Eropah merupakan pelopor berpengaruh yang mengembang Freemason ke wilayah Ottoman Turki. Dua tokh penting adalah Lord Rading dan Lord Henry Bulwer, kedua-dua merka adalah dip;omat British.

Lord Rading and Lord Henry Bulwer, both of them British ambassadors to the Sublime Porte, are considered to be at the origin of the masonic trend in the Ottoman Empire and the Turkish anti-masonic circles still present them as the main responsible for Ottoman decay.

Gerakan Awal Freemason Era Ottoman Turki


Pergerakan freemason period Ottoman dikata bermula pada awal abad ke-18. Aktiviti freemason bergerak secara lebih giat apabila proses reform diperkenal oleh pemerintah Ottoman pada 1839. Pemerintah Ottoman yang menyemarak Freemason adalah Sultan Abdulmadjid (r.1839-61), Abdulaziz (r.1861-1876) dan Abdulhamid (r.1876-1909). Pada period pemerintahan ketiga-tiga Ottoman tersebut banyak rumah freemason (lodges) dibina oleh warga Eropah di merata pelosok Istanbul.

Artikel juga menyebut faktor yang mendorong gerakan freemason di Turki pada era reform tersebut

This remarkable phenomenon is related to the new trend of receptiveness to western influence: receptiveness to economic penetration and political influence, receptiveness to ideas prevailing in Europe, and also receptiveness to individuals coming from the West. For sure, had there not been the thousands of European adventurers who flocked to the Ottoman eldorado from the 1850ies onwards, Ottoman freemasonry would have developed on a much lower scale. Another factor that explains the blooming of freemasonry is the wide range of guarantees granted to Ottoman subjects as well as to foreigners in the wake of the imperial edict of 1856. From then on, Ottomans and in particular
non-moslem subjects” of the sultan, felt themselves much less dominated by an arbitrary power and could make plans such as the creation of philanthropic associations without fear of legal proceedings and punishment. 

Up to a point, Ottoman freemasonry of the 1850ies and 1860ies can also be considered as a by-product of the Crimean war. Indeed, British and French soldiers that came to fight in the East seem to have largely contributed to thebintroduction of masonic lodges in this part of the world.
