Date posted: April 30, 2013
The Broken Jug sermons which are broadcast on the Internet every Monday will, from now on, not be limited to only the Turkish language. The website fgulen.com, which broadcasts the sermons of Fethullah Gulen, has just recently launched another innovation.
From this point on, the “Broken Jug” articles are going to be able to be followed weekly in Arabic, Albanian, Azerbaijani, English and Kazakh.
For years, the thoughts and feelings seeping through the broken jug of a sorrowful heart were being presented to the benefit of Turkish readers, every Monday. The point has come where these articles will speak out to the hearts of millions by being translated into the languages of the world. Gulen’s sermons are awaited with excitement every week and are quite popular. Responding to the questions he is addressed, Gulen makes evaluations on an array of different topics and issues.

Cultural diaspora
It is always seen that youth living abroad have opportunity to go on tours to different countries to learn from their culture.

I was totally shocked by the news because I can’t imagine a situation where convicted criminals are being set free just so political opponents can be locked up.
Hizmet: a social movement or political manipulation?
Sadık Çınar* In the last decade, the Hizmet movement has become a phenomenon in Turkish civil and political life. A shallow look from the outside, however, can lead to confusing and contrasting perceptions about the movement when it is only fed by newspaper articles, columnists and rumors. Politicians still think that the only means of political […]
Never without justice
There have been many moves of interference with an investigation where four ministers and their kids are being accused and concrete evidence and documents present a grave situation. In these first days of the investigation, the police chiefs and authorities were removed, new prosecutors were appointed, police authorities were reappointed all over Turkey, everybody covering the issue including the media is being strongly suppressed, innocent people are being insulted and accused of forming a gang. All of this is being done to cover up the corruption.
Gulen movement sympathizers committed to interfaith dialogue, charity and nonviolence
George Mason University professor, Jack Goldstone, shares his view of Fethullah Gulen and Gulen Movement. Goldstone says he is particularly glad that Gulen has such a remarkable influence over his sympathizers who are committed to the promotion of interfaith dialogue, charity and nonviolence. Speaking of Gulen’s anti-violence stance, Goldstone recalls Gulen’s touching statement, as he […]
