Fethullah Gülen Movement
The Fethullah Gülen Movement is a global social and educational network inspired by Turkish scholar Fethullah Gülen. It promotes interfaith dialogue, education, and civic engagement through thousands of schools, charities, and media outlets worldwide. Originating in Turkey, the movement emphasizes tolerance, science, and individual development.
