Islamic bicycle The proper Islamic bicycle for the Muslim women is a topic of heated discussion in both Sunni and Shia Islam. Prof. Alparslan Acikgenc addressed the issue in a conference in Istanbul saying "a bicycle that is produced with God’s blessings in mind and man’s interests at its fore is an Islamic bicycle".Secular academics worry that Turkey’s Islamist government is putting Islam ahead of science. Mustafa Akyol argues that the very idea of an Islamic bicycle is indicative of a "mentality that has stagnated Muslim thought". Saudi Arabia bans the use of bicycles by women except in restricted recreational areas.
Ishikism Ishikism, [pron: 'Ishik-ism] (Turkish: "Işıkçılık" ) or Ishik Alevism ("Işık Aleviliği "), also known as Chinarism ("Çınarcılık "), is a syncretic religious movement among Alevis who have developed an alternative understanding of Alevism and its history. These alternative interpretations and beliefs were inspired by Turkish writer Erdoğan Çınar with the publication of his book "Aleviliğin Gizli Tarihi" ("The Secret History of Alevism") in 2004.
