Gulen Movement (Hizmet)

Have you heard of Gulen, or the Hizmet (Service) Movement or the Gülen Movement ?


The NWO is now termed the GU (Global Union) in which Gulen is a very big player, apparently backed by the Gates Foundation, Britain, Germany and the EU.

(volunteering = control). London Scool of Economics.

With a major grant from the Lilly Endowment, Ebaugh studied inter-faith coalitions and their provision of social services........

Ozcan Keles, Executive Director of the Dialogue Society charity (Berlin & London), accepted the honorary doctorate on behalf of Fethullah Gülen. He said: "'Our''' (??? k.) government is now encouraging the notion of 'Big Society' and social responsibility. Fethullah Gülen has been putting this into practice for over forty years and at a transnational level. If we are serious about encouraging individuals and communities to work together then there is something for all of us to learn from Fethullah Gülen's discourse and example."

Gulen’s ideas and activism have inspired a faith-based social movement in Turkey sometimes referred to as “hizmet” which could be translated as volunteer service movement or in Gulen’s own terms, the movement of humans united around high human values. Participants in this movement have set up charitable foundations and companies that are active in the areas of education, media, health care, relief and business. By some estimates, over a thousand educational institutions such as K-12 schools, tutoring centers and reading rooms have been established around the world inspired by Gülen’s ideas and life. These are non-religious, non-denominational, secular schools sponsored by local entrepreneurs, altruistic educators and dedicated parents.

When Foreign Policy and Prospect magazine asked readers to vote for the world’s top public intellectual, one man won in a landslide: Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen, an inspirational leader to millions of followers around the world and persona non grata to many in his native Turkey, where some consider him a threat to the country’s secular order.

In a rare interview, Gülen speaks to FP about terrorism, political ambitions, and why his movement is so misunderstood.

From his fortess headquarters, located on 28 acres at 1857 Mt. Eaton Road in Saylorsburg, PA, Gulen plots the overthrow of secular governments and oversees the spread of education jihad throughout Asia, Europe, and the United States.

Gulen is surrounded by an army of over 100 Turkish Islamists, who guard him and tend to his needs. The army is comprised of armed militants who wear suits and ties. They follow their hocaefendi’s (master lord’s) orders and even refrain from marrying until age fifty per his instructions. When they do marry, their spouses are expected to dress in the Islamic manner, as dictated by Gülen himself.
