“The Broken Jug” now in the languages of the world
M. Fethullah Gulen
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.
Zeynalov reminded the attendees that Erdogan also was arrested a couple of decades ago. That eventually helped him to become famous and won him the elections five years later. But it didn’t stop Erdogan to use the same law for justifying the arrest of Zeynalov in 2014.
What do Alevis want?
Alevis have been traditionally considering themselves a minority because their interpretation of Islam differs from the state’s understanding. In such a climate, the Abant Platform organized [a Gulen Movement affiliated organization] a three-day-long meeting by Lake Abant over the weekend, bringing representatives from the Alevi and Sunni community. Personally, I learned a lot from the meeting which almost served as a channel for venting for Alevis.
President Fox speaks about Fethullah Gulen and Gulen Movement
Vicente Fox served his term as President from 2000 to 2006. He was the first candidate from an opposition party to be elected president since 1920. Under his leadership, the country experienced a stretch of fundamental economic strength and stability. The perspectives of the Institute are inspired by the life and works of the distinguished contemporary scholar and civic leader Fethullah Gülen, a Turkish Muslim scholar, thinker, author, poet, opinion leader, educational activist, and preacher emeritus. He is regarded as the initiator and inspirer of the worldwide social movement of human values known as the Hizmet (Service) Movement or the Gülen Movement.
