There have been several conferences about Fethullah Gulen on national and international level in the last decade. A number of distinguished and prominent scholars and academics wrote articles and essays about Fethullah Gulen and Gulen Movement. There is a specifically designed website to this end: Fethullah Gulen Conference. It is a simple but effective website where you can find almost all scholarly articles about Fethullah Gulen.
What has Fethullah Gulen to do with the U.S. charter schools? Why do some people attack top-notch charter schools and call them Gulen charter schools? Is there really any connection between Gulen (Hizmet) Movement and these schools?

Fethullah Gulen's Condemnation Message of 9/11
Below is an excerpt from a website about Fethullah Gulen in which Mr. Gulen's condemnation message about the unfortunate 9/11 attacks. You can also find out the authentic picture of Fethullah Gulen's message on "Washington Post" which was published ten days after 9/11.
... Fethullah Gulen was the first Muslim scholar who publicly denounced the 9/11
attacks, just a few days after these unspeakable acts. As far as we
knew, his public condemnation message was published in the Washington
Post. We searched the exact quote online -contrary to conventional media
reporting, which is not famous with amplifying the tolerant voices,
online resources have always been more diverse. Thus, we were sure that
we’d be able to find the message in a few seconds, or just in a
millisecond, as Google advertises, but to our surprise, nothing popped
up! We looked for hours and could not find the exact quote of Fethullah
Gulen’s condemnation message. There were many websites letting people
know that a denouncement exists, but none could provide it to their
readers. Some of the intellectuals in the room became curious about the
statement. Could it be an urban legend that a prominent Muslim scholar
had condemned the 9/11 attacks just a few days after the events and in
Washington Post?

Russian Intellectuals Pen Essays on Fethullah Gulen

| Dialog Eurasia praises Fethullah Gulen. |
Taken from Fethullah Gulen ad Gulen Movement Videos website.
The people of Eurasia have now a better understanding of the teachings of Fethullah Gulen, who
wants everyone to walk on the path of righteousness; the schools
established through his initiatives teach friendship, peace and love.
Published in Russian and Turkish in Turkey, Russia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, the journal DA (Dialogue Eurasia) became a printing body that promotes dialogue development between people and cultures. The same is repeated in the motto of the journal: “Dialogue begins with “DA” (means "yes", in Russian).

Violence is not in the tradition of the Prophet

| Fethullah Gulen studies in his room. |
Fethullah Gulen penned an article for Financial Times. The article is simple and brilliant and it constitutes the proper answer for the Islamophobics.
Muslims pray each day: “O Lord! Keep us
on the straight path.” It is a prayer to help us move away from the
extremes and maintain balance in our lives. We must neither be hostage
to our reactionary instincts, nor must we remain completely silent in
the face of the systematic defamation of our values and beliefs.
This balance has been upset by the violent response to the insults
targeting the legacy of beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
The violent response was wrong and strayed from the straight path.
