Fethullah Gulen’s latest German translated book titled “Was ich denke, was ich glaube” has been released at the International Frankfurt Book Fair.

Dr. Abdulmalik Hibaoui of Islamic Theology Center at Tubingen University and a philosopher Prof. Joachim Valentin shared their thoughts on the Hizmet Movement in general and the book in particular, at the book release event jointly held by Foundation of Dialog and Education and Intercultural Dialog Forum.

Dr. Hibaoui said he found the book a distinctive one offering new perspectives for new concepts. “Gulen proposes new insights into today’s troubling issues in Germany, a challenging country for its Muslims. And the book makes the religious, political and social issues accessible,” Hibaoui said. The professor made it clear that he entirely agrees with Gulen on the topics discussed in the book. “This is the understanding the Muslim world needs today.”

Professor Valentin argued that too much is being said about Fethullah Gulen, founder of the Hizmet Movement, without knowing enough about him. “But with this new book in German by a notable publishing company making it easily available, I believe the Germans will be more careful with their claims.”

Attempting to discredit Gülen by linking him to Israel

A typical example of black propaganda is the “anti-reactionaryism action plan” prepared in cosmic rooms with the intention of destroying the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party) and the Gülen community in 2009, which was initially denied and passed off as a “piece of paper,” but which led to the trial and sentencing of those who prepared it.

Hizmet movement and Kurdish question in Turkey

Through educational projects, the Hizmet movement helped to alter the social fabric of Turkish people who consciously or otherwise supported the institutional resistance of state and governmental bodies. Through dialogue and face-to-face encounters, Turkish people have had the chance to experience and feel the grievances of their Kurdish brothers and sisters and listen to their stories.

Power struggle for the state or deep rift about Turkey?

As an external observer, I see a profound rift having taken place between Erdoğan — more than anybody else in the AKP — and the Hizmet movement; and that has much less to do with the power struggle than a resistance to another massive, individual attempt to accumulate power in one person.What has defined Erdoğan’s way with various social segments since 2011 is to alienate, antagonize, suppress and devour. So was his pattern with the dissident Kurds, Alevis, leftists, liberals and now Hizmet.
