When everything was closed and all doors were locked, our houses of isik [light] assumed a mission greater than that of older times. In the past, some of the duties of these houses were carried out by madrasas [Islamic schools], some by schools, some by tekkes [Islamist lodges] \u2026 These isik homes had to be the schools, had to be madrasas, [had to be] tekkes all at the same time. The permission did not come from the state, or the state\u2019s laws, or the people who govern us. The permission was given by God \u2026 who wanted His name learned and talked about, studied, and discussed in those houses, as it used to be in the mosques.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Now it is a painful spring that we live in. A nation is being born again. A nation of millions [is] being born\u2014one that will live for long centuries, God willing \u2026 It is being born with its own culture, its own civilization. If giving birth to one person is so painful, the birth of millions cannot be pain-free. Naturally we will suffer pain. It won\u2019t be easy for a nation that has accepted atheism, has accepted materialism, a nation accustomed to running away from itself, to come back riding on its horse. It will not be easy, but it is worth all our suffering and the sacrifices.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
In 1998, Gulen fled to the U.S. with a small army of followers and purchased a 45 acre parcel of land in the midst of Pennsylvania\u2019s Pocono Mountains as a base for his international operations.<\/p>\n
From this base, Gulen, who has amassed over $25 billion in assets, continues to direct the activities of the AKP and events throughout Central Asia and much of the Muslim world.<\/p>\n
Under his direction, Turkey has transformed from a secular state into an Islamic country with 85,000 active mosques – – one for every 350- citizens – – the highest number per capita in the world, 90,000 imams, more imams than teachers and physicians – – and thousands of state-run Islamic schools.<\/p>\n
Turkey, thanks to Gulen and his disciples, has transferred its alliance from Europe and the United States to Russia and Iran<\/h3>\n
Despite the rhetoric of European Union accession, Turkey, thanks to Gulen and his disciples, has transferred its alliance from Europe and the United States to Russia and Iran. It has moved toward friendship with Hamas, Hezbollah, and Syria and created a pervasive anti-Christian, anti-Jewish, and anti-America animus throughout the populace.<\/p>\n
Gulen has also established thousands of schools throughout central Asia and Europe.<\/p>\n
According to Bayram Balci, a Turkish scholar, the Gulen schools seek to expand \u201cthe Islamization<\/em> of Turkish nationality and the Turification<\/em> of Islam\u201d in order to bring about a universal caliphate ruled by Islamic law.<\/p>\nBecause of their subversive nature of these institutions, these schools have been outlawed in Russia and Uzbekistan.<\/p>\n
Even the Netherlands, a nation that embraces pluralism and tolerance, has opted to cut funding to the Gulen schools because of their imminent threat to the social order.<\/p>\n
But Gulen\u2019s 140-plus schools in the United States which advance the establishment of a New Islamic World Order have received little national attention.<\/p>\n
These schools bear such innocuous names as the Magnolia School, the Beehive Academy, the Sonoran Science Academy, the Lotus School for Excellence, and the Pacific Technology School.<\/p>\n
All of these schools are funded by U.S. taxpayers.<\/p>\n

In the cable, Mr. Jeffrey describes G\u00fclen as a \u201cpolitical phenomena\u201d in Turkey even when he resides \u201cin exile\u201d within a mountain fortress in Pennsylvania. He says the G\u00fclen movement has gained control of Turkey\u2019s government and dictates Turkish policy which has become increasing anti-Israeli and anti-American. It points out that the leaders of the Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkinma or AKP) who now govern Turkey, including Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and President Abdullah Gul, appear to serve as Gulen\u2019s puppets.<\/p>\n
