The second important base that the British used to oppress the Istanbu-

lians during the occupation was Hotel Kroecker (which is currently used as
a teachers' local). The rooms in the basement were used as torture chambers

and hundreds of nationalists defying the occupation were tortured in there.
John Bennett, a British intelligence officer, used Hotel Kroecker as a head-

quarters, because the hotel enjoyed a very central location in Beyoğlu. With
a whip in his hands, Bennett would interrogate people in torture chambers

in the dead of the night. Bennett, also a Sufi and Mawlawi, never relinquished
his ties with the Ottoman Empire and Islamic world, even after the occupa-

tion. As it happens, he opened the first Mawlawi/Sufi house in Britain and
became a shaykh himself. Using this new character, he worked to inflict harm

on the Turkish people and Muslims using Mawlawiyah as a disguise. As a re-
sult, many people failed to see the deception in his rhetoric and instead of Is-

lam, mistakenly adopted Rumi's philosophy, which is actually against Islam.
The British deep state's plans to spoil the Islamic world from within, after that

point, would continue largely in a Rumi-oriented manner.
