Anatomy of a Terrorist Organisation: The Kurdistan Workers' Party, Chapter-V

In this chapter titled "An Analysis of Religiousness without a Kibla: PKK and Religion," Assoc. Prof. Dr. Muhittin IMIL examines how the PKK's perception and use of religion have transformed from complete rejection to strategic appropriation. 📌 How did the PKK shift from rejecting religion to using it as a tool for identity construction? 📌 What role did the KCK formation in 2007 play in this transformation? 📌 How is the figure of Abdullah Öcalan mythologized as a nation- and religion-building charisma? The chapter argues that the PKK aims to construct a "synthetic Kurd" — a new identity stripped of traditional religious and cultural ties, reengineered through civil society structures and a mythological narrative. This sociological analysis reveals how religion has become a central element in the PKK’s broader social engineering project. "This is a synthetic warrior programmed to clash with the Turk, mythologized by the organization through its own nation-building narrative." — Assoc. Prof. Dr. Muhittin Imıl This chapter offers deep insight into why lands known as the cradle of religions and civilizations also continue to be battlegrounds for ideological and identity-based conflicts.
