Fethullah Gülen citations

Fethullah Gülen , est un intellectuel musulman turc, apatride depuis 2017. Il est l'inspirateur du mouvement Gülen, aussi appelé le mouvement Hizmet . Il vit depuis 1999 en Pennsylvanie, aux États-Unis, où il s’est exilé.

Gülen enseigne une version de l’islam qui prend sa source dans les enseignements du penseur musulman Saïd Nursî , revisités par la modernité. Il prêche une forme de fondamentalisme tenté de nationalisme. Gülen a exprimé sa croyance en la science, au dialogue interconfessionnel et en la démocratie. Il a amorcé un dialogue avec différents représentants religieux, dont l'exemple emblématique fut une rencontre avec le pape Jean-Paul II.

Son mouvement, fort de ressources estimées à 50 milliards de dollars, se compose de centaines d'établissements scolaires et de médias parmi les plus importants du pays, lui permettant de posséder une influence considérable. Fethullah Gülen a été décrit dans des médias anglophones comme « l’une des personnalités musulmanes les plus importantes au monde ».

Entre 2002 et 2011, Gülen a soutenu le gouvernement de Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Mais à partir de 2010, il commence à critiquer les choix d'Erdoğan, contestant notamment ses critiques d'Israël et les négociations entreprises avec les rebelles kurdes. Les relations se sont tendues jusqu’à la rupture, fin 2013. En 2014, après la révélation d'affaires de corruption impliquant des ministres et cadres du parti gouvernemental, le mouvement Gülen, accusé d’être à l'origine de la révélation des affaires et de tentative de déstabilisation, est déclaré terroriste et sévèrement réprimé. Un mandat d'arrêt est lancé contre Gülen. Wikipedia

Fethullah Gülen: Citations en anglais

“They try to portray us as a pro-Israeli movement, in the sense that we have a higher regard for them than our nation. We are accepting them as a people, as part of the people of the world.”

"Fethullah Gulen: Powerful but reclusive Turkish cleric", 2014

“I would like to stress that any terrorist activity, no matter who does it and for what purpose, is the greatest blow to peace, democracy, humanity, and all religious values. For this reason, no one—and certainly no Muslims – can approve of any terrorist activity.”

"Gülen’s Condemnation Message of Terrorism", 2001

“The world should be assured that, although there may always be some who exploit any religion for their interests, Islam does not approve of terrorism in any form. Terrorism cannot be used to achieve any Islamic goal. No terrorist can be a Muslim, and no true Muslim can be a terrorist. Islam orders peace, and the Qur’an demands from each true Muslim that he or she be a symbol of peace and support the maintenance of basic human rights. If a ship is carrying nine criminals and one innocent person, Islam does not allow the ship to be sunk to punish the nine criminals, for doing so would violate the innocent person’s rights.”

“If I were to say anything to people I may say people should vote for those who are respectful to democracy, rule of law, who get on well with people. Telling or encouraging people to vote for a party would be an insult to peoples' intellect. Everybody very clearly sees what is going on.”

"Fethullah Gulen: Powerful but reclusive Turkish cleric", 2014

“Like many Turkish citizens, the Hizmet movement’s participants supported Mr. Erdogan’s early efforts to democratize Turkey and fulfill the requirements for membership in the European Union. But we were not silent as he turned from democracy to despotism. Even before these new purges, Mr. Erdogan in recent years has arbitrarily closed newspapers; removed thousands of judges, prosecutors, police officers and civil servants from their positions; and taken especially harsh measures against Kurdish communities. He has declared his detractors enemies of the state.”

"Fethullah Gulen: I Condemn All Threats to Turkey’s Democracy", 2016

“Throughout my life, I have publicly and privately denounced military interventions in domestic politics. In fact, I have been advocating for democracy for decades. Having suffered through four military coups in four decades in Turkey — and having been subjected by those military regimes to harassment and wrongful imprisonment — I would never want my fellow citizens to endure such an ordeal again. If somebody who appears to be a Hizmet sympathizer has been involved in an attempted coup, he betrays my ideals.”

"Fethullah Gulen: I Condemn All Threats to Turkey’s Democracy", 2016

“Turkey’s president is blackmailing the United States by threatening to curb his country’s support for the international coalition against the Islamic State. His goal: to ensure my extradition, despite a lack of credible evidence and virtually no prospect for a fair trial. The temptation to give Mr. Erdogan whatever he wants is understandable. But the United States must resist it.”

“I strongly condemn this latest terrorist attack on the United States. It only deserves condemnation and contempt, and it must be condemned by every person in the world. I believe that before America’s leaders and people respond to this heinous assault, I would like to express that they surely understand why such a terrible event occurred and how similar tragedies can be avoided in the future.”

“Erdogan’s accusation is no surprise, not for what it says about me but rather for what it reveals about his systematic and dangerous drive toward one-man rule.”
