Pro-gov’t columnist: Turkish state must assassinate Fethullah Gülen
Date posted: August 31, 2016
Fatih Tezcan, a pro-government public speaker and columnist, said in a video he posted on social media that he is sure the Turkish state had embedded a secret agent in the Gülen movement and that now it is time for him to “terminate” Turkish Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen.
During his 1.08-minute video, Tezcan curses the Gülen movement and the US-based Gülen and says that the murder of Gülen is something desired by the entire Muslim world.
Here is what Tezcan said:
“I do not believe that the Turkish state has not embedded a secret agent in the Gülen movement. And it is almost time for that person to do what he was assigned to do. I believe that person is going to sense the feelings of the whole Muslim world and do what’s necessary. This is just a prediction. If the United States refuses to extradite Gülen, a man who insulted the Turkish state thousands of times… Forgive me for calling him a man. This kind of b*****d must be punished by Muslim Turks. I am not saying this out of anger or jealousy. I want to make it clear that Fethullah Gülen must be assassinated.”

Working towards this vision of the world, the Gulen Movement focus primarily in three areas: creating high achieving educational institutions from elementary schools to universities; establishing interfaith dialogue organizations where leaders from different religions as well as public official come together to find and share common grounds at a local and international level; and providing emergency relief in disaster areas around the world.

“The future is in God’s hands. People who believe in our cause will continue our work. The world feels sympathy for our movement,” says Gulen.
It’s not about a conflict between the government and Hizmet movement
Insanity ripples through the country, the media and the people. If graft or corruption is the prevailing form of life spreading from the state to society, and if this form of life is supported by people, then we are hitting the bottom day by day. A prosecutor can say “We can detain 500 thousand people if necessary” and still hold his post as if he said quite an ordinary thing. Whereas in Europe mental health of such a prosecutor would be called into question and most probably examined.
