Hizmet Movement blog now available in Portuguese and Arabic


Date posted: March 14, 2014

 

Committed to the mission to make the most up-to-date and accurate archive on Fethullah Gulen and the Hizmet Movement conveniently available to any inquiry, Hizmet Movement blog has taken yet another step towards reaching out to an even greater population. The blog page is now available in two additional languages, namely Portuguese and Arabic.

As the movement has aroused a considerably large interest among Portuguese and Arabic-speaking nations, so has the inquiry into its philosophy and operation. As expected, it has resulted in an inevitable need for convenient references which are currently available mainly in English and Turkish. In an effort to complement the ongoing research and its outcoming material, as well, the blog now takes on the challenge of fulfilling the need.

Both editions will follow the same pattern in content and organization like the long existing English and comparatively recent Chinese and Spanish editions. That is to say, originally English or Turkish texts will be handpicked, translated and published on a regular basis by a team of bilingual volunteers. Needless to say, the Portuguese and Arabic entries will meet subscribers and go viral via digest e-mails and individual Twitter accounts (@HizmetPortugues and @Hizmet_Arabiyah respectively). The ultimate goal in each recent edition is certainly to synch them up with the English one by steadily publishing new entries.

Once again, the blog affirms its appreciation for readers’ interest and feedback of any kind. You are more than welcome to join its efforts with your thoughts and comments in spreading the word to a greater audience.

The Alliance for Shared Values denounces the politically-motivated raids on Koza Ipek holding group, publisher of opposition Bugun daily, as well as the arrest of two British journalists and their translator. These disgraceful actions by President Erdogan and his oligarchy are aimed at silencing independent media in preparation for upcoming November elections, and at deflecting criticism resulting from massive government corruption, nepotism and failure to accept election defeat.

Erdogan Purge Against Gulenists Could Prove Lucrative

The power struggle between the Turkish state and the Fethullah Gulen-led Hizmet Movement continues to reverberate in Turkey. The number detained, arrested, jailed, and dismissed from their jobs since the July 15 coup attempt has reached well over 100,000, 40,000 of whom have been detained on suspicion of having links with Hizmet. One third of the highest-ranking armed forces officers have been dismissed. Almost every major institution—military, judiciary, media, education, business—has been affected.

The U.S. may face a choice between geopolitical calculation and human decency

Such movements, especially if they’re Muslim, attract suspicion in the West. In 2008, the Dutch government began investigating Hizmet. Its conclusions were that the movement isn’t involved in terrorism or a breeding ground for radicalism, nor does it oppose integration of Muslims into secular states. In 2015, MLK’s alma mater, Morehouse College, awarded its Gandhi King Ikeda Peace Award to Gülen for his lifelong commitment to peace among nations. But Erdogan insists that Gülen is a terrorist.

Erdogan drags Turkey toward totalitarianism

Though the attempt ultimately failed, its aftermath and the president’s swift response have the potential fundamentally to shape Turkey’s future as a democratic nation. The all-encompassing, repressive nature of these actions is deeply worrying. All signs point to Erdogan seizing on the opportunity provided by the attempted insurrection, using it as justification to fully consolidate his power over Turkey.

A Turkish coup, a family torn apart, a dramatic escape on foot: ‘Can you believe the things we went through?’
