"A Movement Originating its Own Models"

This is a part of an interview with Fethullah Gulen by Mehmet Gundem of Milliyet Daily in January 2005.

Mehmet Gündem: The establishment that you are involved has been designated by some as a jamaat (congregation, religious community), while others see it as a tariqat (religious order). You call it "A Movement Originating its Own Models." Why not jamaat, but movement?
