Fethullah Gülen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Fethullah Gülen is a former Islamic preacher, and the foremost leader of the "Nurcu" movement in Turkey. Gulen's activities and outreach is unparalled in the history of the Turkish Republic, particularly because since its foundation the secular state was highly suspicous of popular religious leaders who act independent of the state apparatus.

ZAMAN DAILY NEWSPAPER (2004071710525) Gulen's reply: "The community that some refer to as the 'Fethullah Gulen community,' something that offends me as someone swearing at me, is a movement of volunteers, who willingly accept the idea and methods of serving this nation and humanity.

FETHULLAH GULEN AND HIS LIBERAL "TURKISH ISLAM" MOVEMENT Gulen is the sole leader of the movement and the hierarchical order extends from the top to the bottom through an increasing number of abiler (elder brothers).

.: Print Version :. ISTANBUL, Turkey -- There doesn't seem to be much separating the politics of secular Turkey's leaders and an Islamic-oriented movement built around a preacher, author and mystic scholar named Fethullah Gulen. Gulen's main influence is Said Nursi, a warrior-scholar who fought to establish modern Turkey in 1923 but later claimed that the state limited religious freedom. Gulen's ideas may increasingly enter the debate during a long and pivotal period for the Muslim world: EU membership talks with Turkey scheduled to begin in October. www.nctimes.com /articles/2005/01/02/special_reports/religion/16_44_321_1_05.prt
