Gülen Movement on Islam and secularism

Do Fethullah Gülen and the Movement oppose secularism?

Not at all. As outlined earlier, Fethullah Gülen and the Journalists and Writers Foundation (JWF) have brought together on common ground secularists and anti-secularists, who had been artificially separated on this issue. Fethullah Gülen argues that secularism should not be an obstacle to religious devoutness, nor should devoutness constitute a danger to secularism. The JWF platforms help to bring these two groups in Turkish society into dialogue.
