"60 Minutes" to Air Report on Turkish Charter School Cleric Tied to Bob Filner
Mr. Matt Potter, Your article says "... a Gulen Institute-sponsored essay awards ceremony for college students, according to the movement's website." Gulen Institute is not "movement's website" as you suggested. It is a non-profit organization at the University of Houston and aims to promote academic research and grass roots activity that will contribute to positive social change. The perspectives of the Gülen Institute are inspired by the life and works of the distinguished contemporary scholar, author, and civic leader Fethullah Gülen. The Gülen/Hizmet movement is not centralized; there is no legal entity or office. Thus, mentioning of such " movement's website" is not accurate. The book by Dr. Helen R. Ebaugh, "The Gülen Movement: A Sociological Analysis of a Civic Movement Rooted in Moderate Islam ", provides research-based data on Gulen and Gulen/Hizmet Movement. I appreciate your correction on that statement. Regards, Ali R. Candir, Executive Director, Gulen Institute— May 12, 2012 8:41 a.m.
