Neokanisat movement

Neokanisatism is a spiritual, philosophical and political movement in Anitkabir. Originated in the late 19th century, it proposes a critique of the confrontational dualism in Hishelma and the rescue of more traditional Birite values, particular in the Kanisat faith, based on the balance between dual forces of the Universe. The movement is also strongly connected to other symbols of pre-Hishelmite Birite culture, notoriously the myth of Bir of Og, the history of the 4th century Birite Confederation under King Adham of Ethcik and the folk techniques of herding in the Kabirite plains. Neokanisatism has observed exponential growth since the start of the century, particularly among young, educated and urban groups, and estimates of its current size range from 240 to as much as 500 thousand followers in the country.
Although the book “Of Herders and Cavaliers: An Analysis of Cultural Resistance in the region Kurakova”, published in 1886 by Kabite historian and early anthropologist Adem Terzi, is considered the official birthdate of the movement, it was with the 1892 book “Thus Spoke Amethusa”, by philosopher Friket Neyzi, that Neokanisatism started to gain traction in Anitkabir. Neyzi, by then an already well-established name in Kabirite academia, helped the movement to reach a much greater audience, as until then it was restricted to specific sectors of the Northern Coast’s intelligentsia. Since 1892, the questioning character of the movement, its romantic rescue of folk Kabirite culture and its rejection of conservative values has become the subject of innumerous works in realms of philosophy, history, anthropology, literature, visual arts, music and theater. The movement is also strongly connected to the Birite ranks of the Liberal Party of Anitkabir. 
Neokanisatism has by and large not appropriated itself of the more religious aspects of the old Kanisat faith, focusing on more spiritual and metaphysical aspects of the practice. Yet, the borders between religion and philosophy of life in the movement are not clear, and different understandings on to how to categorize it are focus of debate both inside and outside of the movement. 
The movement has attracted a great deal of opposition, particularly from more conservative and reactionary Hishelmites. Neokanisat works have been targets of demonstrations, destruction and vandalism in cities as Uktu, Tapilasi and Eskasaba. Many Great Shikvizi have also spoken in favor of a ban on Neokanisatism and the movement has been characterized as an “advertising campaign for the God Sayi” and "the definition of moral corruption".
