Fethullah Gulen’s latest German translated book titled “Was ich denke, was ich glaube” has been released at the International Frankfurt Book Fair.

Dr. Abdulmalik Hibaoui of Islamic Theology Center at Tubingen University and a philosopher Prof. Joachim Valentin shared their thoughts on the Hizmet Movement in general and the book in particular, at the book release event jointly held by Foundation of Dialog and Education and Intercultural Dialog Forum.

Dr. Hibaoui said he found the book a distinctive one offering new perspectives for new concepts. “Gulen proposes new insights into today’s troubling issues in Germany, a challenging country for its Muslims. And the book makes the religious, political and social issues accessible,” Hibaoui said. The professor made it clear that he entirely agrees with Gulen on the topics discussed in the book. “This is the understanding the Muslim world needs today.”

Professor Valentin argued that too much is being said about Fethullah Gulen, founder of the Hizmet Movement, without knowing enough about him. “But with this new book in German by a notable publishing company making it easily available, I believe the Germans will be more careful with their claims.”

Erdogan purge far worse than the McCarthy era

What is happening in Turkey right now makes the McCarthy era in the US look like a picnic. When communists were targeted under McCarthyism they were blacklisted; hundreds were jailed, and many were compelled to leave the country. In Turkey it is not communists, but Gulenists. Anyone remotely associated with the Gulen movement is being rounded up and jailed – not by the hundreds, but by the tens of thousands.

On 9/11, I dismissed my usual 8:30 a.m. Sociology of World Religions class to accompany the students to the student center to watch the historic events on CNN. But before we left, I told them that it may well be a Muslim terrorist group that was responsible, but I reminded them that, even if it turned out to be true, to remember that it did not mean all Muslims are terrorists.

The Shadow Politics of Shadow Education

It is no secret that Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has grown wary of the so-called Gulen movement, a faith-based network centered on the charismatic preacher Fethullah Gulen that promotes a mild and modern understanding of Islam. Started in the 1960s, it now runs or influences, through its adherents, a large network of businesses, think tanks, newspapers and television stations — as well as a successful chain of tutorial colleges and private schools.

The Turkey in Uganda

I’ve been in Uganda for the last 4-5 days to see the schools of the Gulen Movement. As my colleagues missed the flight I’m the only one here. But this turned out to be a good thing. As they welcomed me as the most precious guest and I could visit the houses of the Turkish […]
