The movement strives to give faithful Muslims the secular education they need to thrive in the modern world. At the same time, it also emphasizes the importance of traditional religious teachings. To this end, the movement has inspired the creation of a worldwide network of schools and other centers of learning that focus on secular subjects in the classroom but also offer extracurricular programs that emphasize religious themes.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By some estimates, there are now more than 1,000 G\u00fclen-inspired schools and centers in more than 100 countries around the world.[1. numoffset=&#8221;11&#8243; See, for example, Brian Knowlton, \u201c<a title=\"Turk Who Leads a Movement Has Advocates and Critics\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2010\/06\/12\/us\/12iht-gulen.html\">Turk Who Leads a Movement Has Advocates and Critics<\/a>,\u201d <em>The New York Times<\/em>, June 11, 2010, and Joe Lauria, \u201c<a title=\"Reclusive Turkish Imam Criticizes Gaza Flotilla\" href=\"http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/article\/SB10001424052748704025304575284721280274694.html\">Reclusive Turkish Imam Criticizes Gaza Flotilla<\/a>,\u201d <em>The Wall Street Journal<\/em>, June 4, 2010.] In Germany, the European country with the strongest G\u00fclen presence, there are at least a dozen of these schools and more than 150 smaller educational and cultural centers. While open to students of all backgrounds, G\u00fclen-inspired schools in Europe typically cater to Turkish immigrants and their offspring.\u00a0 Many of the schools charge tuition, but it is generally low because the schools are subsidized by wealthy supporters of Fethullah G\u00fclen.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-callout has-ui-beige-very-light-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><h3 id=\"snapshot-gulen-movement\" class=\"pressroom-content-block-title wp-block-heading\">Snapshot: G\u00fclen Movement<\/h3><div class=\"pressroom-content-block-body managed-content\">\n<p><strong>Origin<\/strong>\nBegan in Turkey in the late 1960s under the leadership of Islamic thinker Fethullah G\u00fclen, who now lives in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stated Purpose\/Goals <\/strong>\nStrives to show Muslims that they can live modern lives while remaining faithful to Islamic traditions; also encourages intercultural and interfaith dialogue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Method\/Activities<\/strong>\nThe movement spreads its vision mainly through G\u00fclen-inspired schools that offer a modern, secular curriculum in a religious milieu.

It is perhaps best understood as an extensive and well-coordinated network of supporters, many of whom make sizeable donations to G\u00fclen-linked foundations.[2. Helen Rose Ebaugh, a University of Houston sociologist and author of The G\u00fclen Movement: A Sociological Analysis of a Civic Movement Rooted in Moderate Islam (2009), cited in Joe Lauria, \u201cReclusive Turkish Imam Criticizes Gaza Flotilla,\u201d The Wall Street Journal, June 4, 2010.]\u00a0\u00a0The group\u2019s priorities are set by G\u00fclen, who entrusts a relatively small group of deputies to carry out his broad plans.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the local level, the movement\u2019s activities are coordinated by a network of \u201celder brothers,\u201d who preside over the various centers affiliated with the movement.\u00a0 Additionally, the movement sponsors a number of Turkish business associations in Western Europe, which play an important role in networking and facilitating communications among G\u00fclen\u2019s followers.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">G\u00fclen himself has been living in the United States for the past decade. He came to the U.S. for medical treatment in 1999 at a time when Turkish religious groups were under mounting pressure from the country\u2019s secular military establishment. He decided to stay in the U.S. and eventually was granted permanent residency status. He now lives in a secluded compound in the Pocono Mountains in eastern Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"origins-of-the-gulen-movement\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Origins of the G\u00fclen Movement<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The movement emerged in Turkey in the late 1960s when Fethullah G\u00fclen began organizing reading groups in the homes of his closest followers in the western port city of Izmir. After establishing a presence throughout Turkey during the 1970s and \u201980s, G\u00fclen and his followers expanded their educational operations internationally, first to the Muslim-majority regions of what was then the Soviet Union and then, in the mid-1990s, to Western Europe.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most direct intellectual inspiration for G\u00fclen\u2019s work came from the early 20th-century Turkish religious reformer Said Nursi, who combined aspects of traditional Islamic scholarship with modern scientific knowledge in the pursuit of social and political reform in and outside of Turkey.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like Nursi, G\u00fclen argues that a better understanding of the secular world deepens religious faith. Moreover, he believes that promoting Islam using traditional religious institutions, such as mosques and <em>madrasas <\/em>(religious schools), is unlikely to work in a modern world in which success and social mobility are tied to the mastery of scientific and technical skills. Instead, he calls for an educational program that combines the rigorous study of modern, secular subjects with an extracurricular focus on spirituality and conservative religious values.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"educational-agenda\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Educational Agenda<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The G\u00fclen network has pursued its educational agenda aggressively, building hundreds of private schools around the world. The first G\u00fclen school in Western Europe was established in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1995. By 2009, there were more than 50 such schools in Europe, primarily in Germany.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Followers of the movement are often quick to emphasize that these schools are not \u201cG\u00fclen schools,\u201d in the sense of being under the direct control of Fethullah G\u00fclen or the various branches of his movement. Rather, they prefer to speak of them as \u201cG\u00fclen-inspired\u201d educational institutions. Most of the funding for the schools comes from Turkish business leaders who follow G\u00fclen\u2019s teachings.<\/p>\n\n<figure><a href='https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2019\/09\/PDF_09.05.19_facialrecognition_final.pdf'>PDF_09.05.19_facialrecognition_final<\/a><\/p>\n<p><figure style=\"width: 405px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Muslim networks Gulen school\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2012\/07\/Gulen-school.jpg\" alt=\"Muslim networks Gulen school\" width=\"405\" height=\"289\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Schoolgirls write on a chalkboard during a lesson at T\u00fcrkisch Deutsches Bildungsinstitut Berlin-Brandenburg (T\u00dcDESB), a G\u00fclen-inspired school in Berlin. Credit: Andreas Rentz\/Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Classroom instruction in these schools does not include religious topics and generally follows the national curriculum of the countries in which the schools are located. The primary language of instruction is usually English or the language of the host country. Almost without exception, however, the teachers in the schools are affiliated with the G\u00fclen movement. And while religion does not have a place in the classroom, the movement operates a range of other facilities, such as dormitories and community centers, that students are encouraged to use and where the focus becomes more overtly religious.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In places such as Western Europe and North America, where public education standards are higher, the influence of the schools tends to be confined to the relatively small Turkish communities in those countries. But in countries such as Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Macedonia, G\u00fclen-inspired schools have proven popular even with secular families, largely because of their reputation for providing students with a quality education.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recently, the movement has broadened its educational efforts beyond the elementary and secondary-school level. In the mid-1990s, for instance, supporters of the movement founded Fatih University in Istanbul, giving the movement a foothold in the world of higher education.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"beyond-education\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beyond Education<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fethullah G\u00fclen\u2019s followers are also active in other spheres, such as the media. This is especially true in Turkey, where his supporters own <em>Zaman<\/em>, the country\u2019s largest-circulation daily newspaper, as well as an international news agency, a number of television stations, and various periodicals and websites. These media outlets vary in the extent to which they directly serve the movement\u2019s goals, with some merely acting as platforms for opinions and viewpoints that resonate broadly with G\u00fclen\u2019s vision. For instance, a special European edition of <em>Zaman <\/em>targets the Turkish diaspora in Europe and provides details of activities and events sponsored by G\u00fclen-affiliated organizations.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To complement its media outreach and educational work in Europe, the movement also organizes a range of promotional activities, such as conferences, lectures, seminars, language courses, music instruction and trips abroad. These are often held under the auspices of intercultural foundations affiliated with the movement, such as the Dialogue Society in London and the Forum F\u00fcr Interkulturellen Dialog (Forum for Intercultural Dialogue) in Berlin.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"guiding-principles\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Guiding Principles<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The G\u00fclen movement generally shies away from building ties with other Muslim organizations in the European countries where it has a presence. At one level, this self-segregation reflects the distinctively Turkish character of the movement. Indeed, outside of Turkey the movement appeals primarily to ethnic Turks. It is therefore not surprising that the movement\u2019s influence and impact in Western Europe are highest in countries with sizeable Turkish communities, such as Germany and the Netherlands. To some extent, the G\u00fclen movement also keeps its distance from other Turkish groups in Europe. In Germany, for example, the movement pursues a middle ground between two other major Turkish Islamic groups \u2013 the Turkish-Islamic Union for Religious Affairs (known by the Turkish acronym DITIB), an organization closely tied to the secular Turkish government, and the Islamist-leaning Mill\u00ee G\u00f6r\u00fc\u015f organization.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The G\u00fclen movement\u2019s reluctance to join forces with other Muslim groups is not solely a case of self-segregation, however. It also reflects the movement\u2019s commitment to the assimilation of Muslims into European society. While some Muslim groups encourage members and followers to emphasize their Islamic identity, the G\u00fclen movement teaches that Muslims should work with and within the majority society. For example, G\u00fclen\u2019s followers in Europe and North America frequently try to build partnerships with non-Muslim businesses, universities and other secular institutions to sponsor conferences and similar activities.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"growing-visibility-and-scrutiny\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Growing Visibility and Scrutiny<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some in the West have characterized the G\u00fclen movement as representing a distinct model of Islam that successfully synthesizes modernity and religion.[3. See, for example, Graham Fuller, <em>The New Turkish Republic: Turkey as a Pivotal State in the Muslim World<\/em>, United States Institute of Peace, 2007.]\u00a0 But others see the movement as a cause for concern.<\/p>\n\n<figure><a href='https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2019\/09\/PDF_09.05.19_facialrecognition_final.pdf'>PDF_09.05.19_facialrecognition_final<\/a><\/p>\n<p><figure style=\"width: 185px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Muslim networks Gulen portrait\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2012\/07\/Gulen-portrait1.jpg\" alt=\"Muslim networks Gulen portrait\" width=\"185\" height=\"308\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fethullah G\u00fclen at his Pennsylvania home on June 2, 2010. Credit: Julie Platner<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his early writings and public remarks, Fethullah G\u00fclen at times defined his goal as cultivating a generation of well-educated elites in Turkey \u2013 cosmopolitan but also grounded in Islamic faith \u2013 that would be comfortable with allowing religion a more prominent place in Turkish society. For this reason, some of his critics have accused him of having a hidden political agenda and engaging in a gradualist strategy to undermine the secular foundations of the Turkish state.[4. See, for example, \u201c<a title=\"What\u2019s Really Behind Turkey\u2019s Coup Arrests?\" href=\"http:\/\/www.foreignpolicy.com\/articles\/2010\/02\/25\/whats_really_behind_turkeys_coup_arrests\">What\u2019s Really Behind Turkey\u2019s Coup Arrests?<\/a>\u201d <em>Foreign Policy<\/em>, Feb. 25, 2010, and \u201c<a title=\"Turkish language fest shows preacher's global reach\" href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/idUSTRE5560E220090607\">Turkish language fest shows preacher&#8217;s global reach<\/a>,\u201d Reuters, June 7, 2009.]\u00a0 Possibly because of these concerns, G\u00fclen has always been careful to try to emphasize his agreement with the secular, modernizing vision of Mustapha Kemal Ataturk, founder of the Turkish Republic.[5. See Fethullah G\u00fclen, \u201cAtaturk\u2019s Contemporary Civilization Aim Reaches a new Horizon with EU,\u201d Dec. 4, 2004.]\u00a0In this way, he has sought to separate himself and his movement from more radical Muslim groups in Turkey.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The G\u00fclen movement has been criticized in the West from time to time, even by some who might otherwise laud its goals, because it tends to be guarded in providing specific information about its operations or allowing outsiders access to some of its facilities. As a result of this perceived lack of transparency, as well as lingering concerns that G\u00fclen has a secret political agenda, some have come to view the movement and its work with varying degrees of suspicion.[6. See, for example, Alexandra Hudson, \u201c<a title=\"Turkish Islamic Preacher: Threat or Benefactor?\" href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/idUSL0939033920080514\">Turkish Islamic Preacher: Threat or Benefactor?<\/a>\u201d Reuters, May 15, 2008.]<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To some extent, the polarized views concerning Fethullah G\u00fclen and his followers stem from the fact that the movement does not easily fit into existing categories of religious organizations in the Muslim world. The movement\u2019s rapid expansion is also a factor in the increased scrutiny: The larger the movement grows, the more scrutiny it attracts, particularly in the West. Partially in response to this new attention, the usually reclusive G\u00fclen recently granted interviews to three major U.S. newspapers, <em>The Wall Street Journal<\/em>, <em>The New York Times<\/em> and <em>USA Today<\/em>.[7.
