Between 1876 and 1909, French, American,
and German missionaries selected Adana as target, which was hosting non-Muslim
population, within their missionary activities in Ottoman cities. They were
educating people who were persuaded to change sects from non-Muslim elements as
loyal personalities to their own countries. They were carrying out such
activities by building schools, hospitals and churches in Adana. Especially,
students who were educated in schools were influenced by theater plays and
materials they brought from abroad. From Adana Ulema, Kâfîzade Yusuf İzzet
Efendi, who was uncomfortable with this situation, at the beginning of the
period when missionary activities began to take effect in Adana (1891), had
realized the danger that missionary activities had created for his country and
took on a duty to warn the Sultan in this regard. In this study, the activities
of the missionaries in Adana and the reaction of a Muslim scholar will be
focused on.
1876-1909
yılları arasında Fransız, Amerikalı ve Alman misyonerler Osmanlı şehirlerinde
giriştikleri misyonerlik faaliyetleri kapsamında gayrimüslim nüfus barındıran
Adana’yı da kendilerine hedef seçmişlerdi. Gayrimüslim unsurlardan mezhep
değiştirmeye ikna ettikleri insanları kendi ülkelerine sadık birer şahsiyet
olarak yetiştirmek için çaba göstermişler; Adana’da okullar, hastaneler ve
kiliseler inşa ederek misyonerlik faaliyetleri yürütmüşlerdir. Özellikle
okullarda eğittikleri öğrencileri tiyatro oyunları ve dışarıdan getirdikleri
materyaller ile etkilemişlerdir. Bu durumdan rahatsız olan Adana ulemasından
Kâfîzade Yusuf İzzet Efendi, misyonerlik faaliyetlerinin Adana’da etkili olmaya
başladığı dönemin başlarında (1891) misyoner faaliyetlerinin ülkesi için
oluşturduğu tehlikenin farkına varmış ve bu konuda padişahı uyarmayı görev
bilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Meşrutiyet Döneminde (1876-1909) Adana’da
misyonerlik faaliyetleri ve bir Müslüman âlimin bu faaliyetlere tepkisini
ortaya koymaktır.
