FETHULLAH GÜLEN AND CEMAAT HIZMET
Keywords:
Fethullah Gülen, Hizmet, Turkey, Islam, security, propaganda.Abstract
In this article the author presents work of the imam, writer and preacher Fethullah Gülen and the religious movement, cemaat Hizmet, which is based on his ideas developed in Turkey. It displays the basic biographical data and follows the way in which he and his followers created a large network of institutions that share Gülen’s value system. The network is presented in details as well as Gülen’s ideology which is an interesting blend of traditional values and modern instruments, including a commitment to a market economy. The paper ends with a series of controversies that followed the Hizmet’s work, both within Turkey and abroad. This includes a charge that Gulen for the decades already has a very close relationship with the structures of the CIA.
