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.

Parallel hearts…
It is unfair to accuse a movement whose only goal is to win hearts of seizing the state through bureaucracy.
