New Book – “Beginnings and Endings: Fethullah Gülen’s Vision for Today’s World”
Instead of apocalyptic visions of clashing religions and civilizations, Gülen envisions eschatological fulfillment of the world, and thus meets the reader as a man of devout and informed hope.

The Muslim Cleric Who Fell in Love With Democracy

The government is politically accountable if ISIS actions do not stop in Turkey. Trying to cover this up with nonsense like “ISIS is the same as PKK and the Gülenists” only increases this accountability.
