The Gülen movement is a transnational religious and social movement led by Turkish Islamic scholar and preacher Fethullah Gülen. The movement has no official name but it is usually referred to as Hizmet ("the Service") by its followers and as Cemaat ("the Community/Assembly") by the broader public in Turkey.
The movement has attracted supporters and critics in Turkey, Central Asia, and in other parts of the world. The movement is active in education with private schools and universities in over 180 countries as well as many American charter schools operated by followers. It has initiated forums for interfaith dialogue. It has substantial investments in media, finance, and for–profit health clinics. Some have praised the movement as a pacifist, modern-oriented version of Islam, and as an alternative to more extreme schools of Islam such as Salafism.
The group is currently accused of attempting to overthrow Turkish government by the government officials following bribery investigations to several ministers and the prime minister in December 2013. The movement is often referred to as the Gulenist Terror Organisation (FETO) by Turkish officials, and was determined a national security threat for Turkey. The group is accused of engaging in illegal wiretapping, blackmail and issuing threats. Investigations into the group are continuing.
