Prof. Ergil speaks on Gulen Movement at Boston College

At an event organized by Peace Islands Institute at Boston College, Professor Dogu Ergil (*) speaks on and answers the questions surrounding the Gulen Movement.

In the book Fethullah Gulen and the Gulen Movement in 100 Questions, Ergil addresses the frequently voiced questions regarding Gulen and the movement. Understanding both Fethullah Gulen, a moderate Turkish Muslim scholar, and the Gulen Movement, a global network of volunteers, teachers, students, intellectuals and business people who are inspired by Gulen's philosophy based on dialogue and peaceful coexistence, is vital to making any sort of predictions about the direction that Turkey might be headed in the next years.
