Fethullah Gulen
Fethullah Gulen
Fethullah Gülen is a preacher, thinker and educator, who has become a global phenomenon. His popularity and authority in Turkey has been the driving force of the movement that is widely thought to have brought about the social and, eventually, political changes of which politician Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been the ultimate heir—that is the enfranchisement of Muslim politics in Turkey. Despite his peaceful means of preaching and community organization, Gülen is hated by the [ultra-]secularist establishment in Turkey and has been living in the US since 1999.
