Donmk Jews And Ottoman Coup–ď etat (1908)

In the second half of the 17th century, the Ottoman state encountered historic and political circumstances which led to the rise of "Dönmk Jews" sect through the rabbi Sabbatai Sebi from Azmir when the latter declared himself an Expected Messiah.
This sect is a Jewish one pretending to be Muslim, while it secretly exercises special religious rites. This sect is called the "Sabbai Sect". It had an impact on the Ottoman internal affairs in the period of sultan Abdulhameed II, and that was evident through its role in the Ottoman coup in 1908 and the overthrowing of the sultan in 1909. It also affected the policy adopted by the assembly of Al- Itihad Wal Taraqqi while holding power and managing the Ottoman state affairs. Embracing Islam by the Jews in Turkey and pretending with that, keeping their religion, is similar to doing that by other people for the purpose of achieving the goals of their original doctrines.
