Newly released Wikileaks documents show increased concern among U.S. officials of the Gulen Movement<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

The latest documents from Wikileaks shows growing concern among U. S. officials over Fethullah Gulen\u2019s attempts to create a New Islamic World and the \u201cbraining washing of students\u201d that takes place at his charter schools within the United States and throughout the Muslim world.<\/p>\n

The cable that speaks of the \u201cbrain-washing\u201d was written in 2009 by James Jeffrey, the U. S. Ambassador to Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\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

Other newly released cables state that Gulen\u2019s disciples now direct the country\u2019s 200,000 strong police force – – a force that remains in conflict with the military, which sees the group as an enemy.<\/p>\n

In recent months, Turkish military leaders, and other critics of the AKP, have been arrested in the dead of night and whisked off to detention cells.<\/p>\n

According to NurettinVeren, who served as Fethullah Gulen\u2019s right-hand man \u201cThere are imam security directors; imams wearing police uniforms. Many police commissioners get their orders from imams.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not possible to confirm the Turkish police are under the control of the G\u00fclen community members, but we have not met anybody who denies it,\u201d one cable said.<\/p>\n

The most dangerous Islamist on planet earth<\/h3>\n

Gulen has been labeled \u201cthe most dangerous Islamist on planet earth,\u201d although he has failed to attract the attention of U. S. counter-terrorism experts and the national media.<\/p>\n

G\u00fclen is a student and follower of Sheikh Sa\u2019id-i Kurdi (1878-1960), also known as Sa\u2019id-i Nursi, the founder of the Islamist Nur (light) movement. After Turkey\u2019s war of independence, Kurdi demanded, in an address to the new parliament, that the new republic be based on Islamic principles. Kurdi turned against Atat\u00fcrk and his reforms and against the new modern, secular, Western republic and Gulen has followed his militant mentor\u2019s example.<\/p>\n

Hailed as an outstanding educator by Graham Fuller and other CIA officials, the reclusive Gulen is semi-literate and lacks a high school diploma.<\/p>\n

In 1999, he was driven from his native Turkey because of his attempts to overthrow the secular Turkish government.<\/p>\n

Objectives of transforming Turkey into an Islam republic and of creating a New Islamic World Order<\/h3>\n

In his sermons, Gulen has stated his objectives of transforming Turkey into an Islam republic and of creating a New Islamic World Order. In one sermon, he said:<\/p>\n

\u201cYou must move in the arteries of the system without anyone noticing your existence until you reach all the power centers \u2026 until the conditions are ripe, they [the followers] must continue like this. If they do something prematurely, the world will crush our heads, and Muslims will suffer everywhere, like in the tragedies in Algeria, like in 1982 [in] Syria \u2026 like in the yearly disasters and tragedies in Egypt. The time is not yet right. You must wait for the time when you are complete and conditions are ripe, until we can shoulder the entire world and carry it \u2026 You must wait until such time as you have gotten all the state power, until you have brought to your side all the power of the constitutional institutions in Turkey \u2026 Until that time, any step taken would be too early\u2014like breaking an egg without waiting the full forty days for it to hatch. It would be like killing the chick inside. The work to be done is [in] confronting the world. Now, I have expressed my feelings and thoughts to you all\u2014in confidence \u2026 trusting your loyalty and secrecy. I know that when you leave here\u2014[just] as you discard your empty juice boxes, you must discard the thoughts and the feelings that I expressed here.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He continued:<\/p>\n

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

In another sermon, G\u00fclen proclaimed:<\/p>\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>\n

Because 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

Gulen in MEMRI <https:\/\/www.memri.org\/reports\/upcoming-elections-turkey-2-akps-political-power-base<\/span>>:<\/p>\n

Fethullah Gulen is thought to be one of the richest Turks in the world. He
\nlives on a large estate in Pennsylvania, and it is from there that he runs
\nhis million-member community. The prevailing perception in political
\ncircles in Turkey is that Fethullah Gulen is the power behind many Islamist
\npoliticians, especially in the AKP.<\/p>\n

In 1999, footage was aired on Turkish television of sermons delivered by
\nFethullah Gulen to a crowd of followers, in which he revealed his
\naspirations for an Islamist Turkey ruled by shari’a as well as the
\nmethods that should be used to attain that goal. In the sermons, he said:<\/p>\n

“You must move in the arteries of the system, without anyone noticing your
\nexistence, until you reach all the power centers- until the conditions are
\nripe, they [the followers] must continue like this. If they do something
\nprematurely, the world will crush our heads, and Muslims will suffer
\neverywhere, like in the tragedies in Algeria, like in 1982 [in] Syria- like
\nin the yearly disasters and tragedies in Egypt. The time is not yet right.
\nYou must wait for the time when you are complete, and conditions are ripe,
\nuntil we can shoulder the entire world and carry it- You must wait until
\nsuch time as you have gotten all the state power, until you have brought to
\nyour side all the power of the constitutional institutions in Turkey- Until
\nthat time, any step taken would be too early – like breaking an egg without
\nwaiting the full 40 days for it to hatch. It would be like killing the
\nchick inside. The work to be done is [in] confronting the world. Now, I
\nhave expressed my feelings and thoughts to you all – in confidence-
\ntrusting your loyalty and sensitivity to secrecy. I know that when you
\nleave here – [just] as you discard your empty juice boxes, you must discard
\nthe thoughts and feelings expressed here.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
