Bokyism

Flag of Bokyism

Bokyism, officially recognized as Milliytiklanish (People's Militra), stands as a formidable anti-Viadalvian and pro-Konraqist movement within the Konraq Khanate. Rooted in a diverse range of ideological currents, Bokyist thought navigates between a "revolutionary" approach, seeking to Islamize and de-Viadalvianize Konraqi society through the wielded power of the state, and a "reformist" strategy, focusing on grassroots social and political activism to re-Konraqi society.

At the core of Bokyism lies a multifaceted spectrum of beliefs, with adherents advocating for the implementation of sharia, the establishment of pan-Islamic political unity that encompasses the realization of an Islamic state, and the selective removal of non-Muslim influences. The latter involves a particular emphasis on dismantling Viadalvian military, economic, political, social, and cultural influences within the Konraq Khanate.

The movement's commitment to reshaping Konraqi society manifests through a dualistic approach, reflecting the ideological diversity among Bokyists. On one hand, there is a revolutionary zeal, where Bokyists assert the transformative power of state institutions to actively Islamize and purge Viadalvian influences. On the other hand, the reformist faction advocates for a more organic transformation, relying on grassroots efforts to gradually reshape the sociopolitical landscape.

Central to the Bokyist vision is the notion of Konraqi identity redefined through the lens of Islam, marking a departure from Viadalvian norms. This identity shift involves not only religious practices but also extends to political structures, economic systems, and cultural expressions. Bokyists envision a Konraq Khanate free from what they perceive as foreign, particularly Viadalvian, entanglements, fostering an environment aligned with their interpretation of Islamic principles.

Ideas

Mohammed Boky, a charismatic leader, mobilized the people of Konraq in a fervent jihad against the Viadalvian and Dutch-dominated administration based in Konraq. Initially, the Konraqi government dismissed the Bokyist revolution, prompting Morsi to appoint Boky as a regent in an attempt to prevent civil war. However, during Morsi's absence, Boky and his allies seized power in Konraq, marking the beginning of significant transformations in the region.

Under Boky's leadership, Konraq underwent a radical shift toward becoming an Islamic society. Tribal khans and warlords gained de facto control over various small towns, villages, and rural areas. Boky aimed to establish law and order, enforcing a strict interpretation of Islamic Sharia law and promoting his own religious edicts throughout the country.

The Konraqi cabinet saw individuals with limited administrative experience, including military commanders who were ready to abandon their posts for the battlefield when necessary. The chaos escalated as military reversals trapped ministers and deputies behind enemy lines or led to their deaths. The National Republican Movement's initiation of a civil war further exacerbated the turmoil, especially since the National Government of Konraq announced its decision not to engage in armed conflict with the Bokyists.

Mohammad Boky's ideology represented an innovative form of nationalist anti-Viadalvian conservatism, blending Sharia codes with a departure from the mysticism of the Taliban they replaced. Unlike the mystical Sufis and traditionalists associated with the Taliban, Bokyists drew inspiration from the Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwan). This ideological shift marked a distinctive path for Konraq, setting it apart from previous Islamist movements in the region.
