In 1975, he and his friends published a political magazine called Gölge (Shadow). Mirzabeyoğlu was influenced by the Islamist poet Necip Fazıl Kısakürek who published a magazine called Büyük Doğu.[7]

He is the ideologue and alleged leader of the Great Eastern Islamic Raiders' Front (İBDA-C), a militant Islamist group present in Turkey.[9] He was arrested on 29 December 1998 for allegedly trying to overthrow the constitutional order by force. Subsequently, following the İBDA-C concept of 'leaderless resistance', further attacks on banks, synagogues, churches, places serving alcohol and TV stations were claimed by groups who said they were part of İBDA-C. The bombings in Istanbul claimed 65 lives including that of the British consul general Roger Short.[7] Mirzabeyoğlu was sentenced to life imprisonment.[10]

On 23 July 2014, he was released from prison, and on 29 November 2014 consulted with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.[11]
