“I think it’s a movement that represents Islam very well. It shows a segment of Islam that understands what it takes to survive, succeed and prosper in the modern world.”

“After 9/11 for example the bombings of the world trade center in September of 2001, Mr Gulen was one of the most outspoken people and said this sort of violence cannot be tolerated. There were other leaders in Islam that were not so vocal.
