Gulen-inspired Schools and Peace Education

Peace Education
The world is gradually becoming a small village, and have been facing challenges like conflict, violence, terrorism, and war along with their terrible consequences of poverty, disease, despair, environmental destruction, and poor leadership. These challenges are present at all levels of human life—family, school, community, society, and globally. The solution to all of challenges is within the education that people have been receiving so far. Incorporating peace education in the education systems would to eventually help people to gain the ability to prevent conflict, and to resolve conflict peacefully when it does arise, whether on the intrapersonal, interpersonal, intergroup, national or international level.

World's most famous Turkish brand: Today's Zaman

On Jan. 16, 2013, Today's Zaman's sixth year will be complete. Since the very day this paper launched it has exerted great effort to promote the demilitarization and democratization of Turkey with the hopes that it will transform into a more transparent country governed by the rule of law. In this context it has emerged as a bold member of the fight against military tutelage, deep state networks, juntas and gangs. I believe those who will write the history of Turkey's turbulent path towards democratization will not be able to turn a blind eye to Today's Zaman's efforts in this regard.
