Dr. Phyllis Bernard’s views on Fethullah Gulen & Gulen Movement

Date posted: June 22, 2013

Hopefully as we continue to teach people about how business works in different places around the world, we’ll have a lot more respect and understanding for the kind of Islamic cultural values that one finds everywhere. And our entry way for that were the Hizmet Movement businesspeople; they were astoundingly fine.”

He didn’t have the microphone in his mouth, so to speak. And I always regretted that because he was one who did.
