"From the early 1650s a call to return to the basic principles of Islam had been preached by a fiery preacher, Mehmed Kadizade, whose followers were called kadizadelis. Kadizade condemned not only the non-Islamic consumption of wine, coffee and tobacco, but also the religious institutions in general and the dervish orders in particular. His slogan was: ‘Every innovation is heresy, every heresy is error, and every error leads to hell.’" - Eivind
