An easier to watch video here about the Gulen Schools.
Obviously made before the recent coup in Turkey, after which a lot of these teachers still in Turkey were sacked and/or jailed.
There are some apparent contradictions in the Gulen philosophy, eg the emphasis on teaching science and maths, while also being unashamedly Islamic. IMO if you teach people too much science, they tend to drop religion.
He's an interesting character, and one we'll hear more about in the future I think. Maybe a bit of a guru (he likes to have a materially comfortable lifestyle) But also one with considerable vision and political ambitions.
Possibly he has observed the success of the Zionist approach and wishes to emulate it. The Jewish diaspora in the US is extremely wealthy and powerful. They control hospitals and clinics. They value good education and lucrative careers. Their influence in Washington ensures that Israel is protected and receives massive ongoing aid from the US taxpayer. In religious terms, they keep a low and respectable profile. Many American "Jews" are actually atheists, but still maintain some cultural loyalty to their group and to Israel.
The end result of all this activity is that Zionism and a Jewish State seems quite acceptable to the average American, whereas Islam and an Islamic state is not. Gulen could change that, in time.0 -

A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

There are metal detectors and mandatory searches at these things now. Sad, really, but there are plenty of people who've been caught with a computer or being fed moves like this. For example,silverharp wrote: »I'd be getting those fancy Apple ear buds and have instructions feeding in
