Ben bir ressamim.Yil 2003, haril haril calismis, sponsorumu bulmus ve Italya Floransa’da yapilacak olan uluslararasi bir Cagdas Sanat Bienali’ne (04-12 Aralik 2003) katilabilmek icin son 10-15 gun icerisine girmistim. Tabi bienale katilabilmek icin para yatirmam gerekiyordu. Adana merkez is bankasina gittim ve parayi havale etmek istedim. Gorevli memur on line olarak bir turlu parayi gonderemiyordu. Problem nedir diye sordugumda aldigim yanit: “Isminiz Arapca” demesin mi? Simdi diyeceksiniz ki, haydaaaaa!!!!!!! Evet aynen oyle… Adim SAFA. Eger SEFA olsaymis problem yokmus… Fazla uzatmadan, havaleyi en sonunda, sadece soyadimla “BUTE” olarak yollayabildik. Tepem atmis bir vaziyette bankadan ciktim ve tesaduf on dakika gecmedi gazeteci bir arkadasa rastladim. Hayirdir, biraz sinirli gibisin diye sormasiyla olanlari anlattim ve ondan mumkunse arastirmasini soyledim. Bir kac gun sonra beni aradi ve sunlari soyledi: “Amerika Turkiye’deki butun bankalalarda, ismi arapca olan herkesin yurt disina para transferini engellemis” Allah askina, bagimsizliga bakin!!!!! Rezaletin daniskasi… Baskan Obama, dis politikalarini daha zor duzeltir. Herseyden once, Amerikan Dis Politikasini yonlendirenlerin bir seyi bilmesi gerekirdi. BizlerTurkiye Cumhuriyeti vatandasiyiz ve Arap, Turk, Kurt vs. olmamiz hic bir sey degistirmez. Ben Turk’um ama adim Arapca.. Analarimiz, babalarimiz musluman olmamiz nedeniyle isimleri genellikle Kur-an’dan secerler ve Arapca olmasi da gayet normal.. Aslinda burdaki diger bir gercek te, Amerika’nin butun muslumanlari terorist olarak gormesi… Bundan baska bir sey anlasilabilir mi?
Sayin Baskan Obama, sana kolay gelsin, isin gercekten cok zor.. Bu Bush’un ettigini ne sana ne de Amerika’ya Usame Bin Ladin bile etmedi. Adam iki tane kule devirdi o kadar. Ya Bush.? Butun Amerika’nin ve amerikalinin sayginligini sifirladi. Efendi, efendi artik buralarda cocuklari “Ocu” yerine “Amerika, amerikali” diye korkutuyorlar ve ulkenize ve milletinize hic guvenleri kalmadi… Oysa ulkenizden bir suru sanatci arkadasim da var.. Onlarla da paylastim bu sikintilari ve inanin onlar da benim gibi dusunuyorlar. Keske Floransa bienaline katilan Amerika’li sanatcilarin calismalarini bir gorebilmis olsaydiniz. Cogu kan icinde Amerikan bayraklari resmetmislerdi tuvallerinde..!!! Anliyacaginiz bir disardakileri degil, sizin sacmaliklarla dolu dis politikanizi kendi ulkenizin vatandaslari da lanetliyor. Siz secilince yeni bir umutla bekledi insanlar.. Burada Ankara buyukelciniz de haril haril calisiyormus.. Kolay gelsin.!!!!?..
Arap ismi tasiyan bir Turk olarak, ismimle de milletimle de onur duyuyorum… Amerika benden ve benim gibi terorist yerine konanlardan ozur dilemedikce ve iyi niyetini acikca ortaya koymadiktan sonra, size Amerika’ya asla inanmayacagiz.!!! 27 Kasim 2009

AMERICAN POLICY AND AN INTERESTING STORY WHICH I HAD IN 2003
I am an artist lives in Turkey. I was preparing myself to take part at an international contemporary art biennial in Florence – Italy which will be realised between the dates of 04-12 december 2003.. All the things were ready to go.. I only had to transfer some participating fee to Italy.. I went to bank in Adana.. But unfortunately they were not able to transfer the money. I asked what was the reason..? They answered me, “because of your name “SAFA” if it was “SEFA” there was no problem.. Your name is Arabic” I couldn’t believe and shocked!!!. In the end they could send it by on line only using my second name “BUTE”… When I left the bank, mabe in 10 minutes didn’t pass I have seen one of my friend. He was a jurnalist.. I told him all the story and also requested to search what is going on… A few days later he called me back and told “America has stopped all the money transfers at the all Turkish banks from the people who are Arabic named. I couldn’t believe this.. Look at the freedom!!!!! Mr. Obama has a really big difficulties to correct the American Polici for ourside of the country.. First of all, the people who direct the American Outside Policy must know something… Here the people live in Turkey, Turkish, Arabic, Kurdish etc.. doesn’t matter what we are.. We all live here in Turkey under Turkish Repuplic.. I am Turkish not arabic. I could be Arabic too and there was no problem… My name is Arabic but I am Turk.. Maybe now you are thinking, “How come”… Here more then 90% of the people live in Turkey are muslim and our mothers, fathers give us our names from Holly Kur-An.. So, sure it is Arabic… I am a person who allways have a honour to have my name and nationlity.. My opinion is, here the main problem… American policy thinks all the Muslims are terrorists…!!! Can you understand something else???
Dear president Obama, take it easy!!! Your work is really difficult.. The president Bush before you did so many bad things to America and its comminity.. Believe me what he did, maybe Usame Bin Ladin didn’t do that!!! He only ruin down two tovers that’s it…!! But Bush reduced down to zero all America’s and American peoples honour. None belive in Amerika and its policy.. I would want you had seen the American artists art works in Italy.. They were created american flags in blood on their canvases. Whey you elected all the world community had a hope… And here in Ankara that I heard, your consulate is working too hard to correct America’s image…
Unless you apology from me and the other muslims who are not terrorist but identified terrorists by America and unless you show your outstanding good/new policy none is going to believe in you and in America…
Best wishes and I wish Allah opens all your ways… 27 Nov 2009
