The devoutly Muslim president said biological differences meant women and men could not serve the same functions, adding that manual work was unsuitable for the “delicate nature” of women.

But in August, Agirnasli cleaned out his room and vanished, leaving no indication of his destination. Images from that brief final chapter of his life contrast with earlier photographs of the scholar hunched over his papers. In the widening crisis emanating from Syria, Agirnasli’s profile stands out among the hundreds of men and women from Turkey — most of them ethnic Kurds — fighting in Kobane and the other parts of Syria. “ELYUL IS COMING.” “Above all else, I made this choice for myself.
