Ethnography and Carpet Museum

Said Nursî (1877-1960) was a Kurdish Sunni Muslim theologian who wrote extensive commentary on the Koran, and advocated a synthesis of science and religious faith. Inevitably he was persecuted, jailed and almost executed by sundry authorities, without them waiting to see if his prediction of Doomsday for 1530 AH / 2106 AD was correct. He spent his later years in Isparta, where his home is a shrine-cum-museum.
