For some time now I have been researching a Turkish-based Islamic movement that has developed a significant network here in the United States. Given Turkey’s recent history of secular, democratic government, and some of the remarks made by President Obama in his recent speech there, many of you may be surprised by what is going on.
I suspect that many who believe they are well-read on the issue of the Islamic agenda are unfamiliar with the Fethullah Gulen Community (FGC), movement here in America.
When you hear this on the 6:00 news, it will be too late to do anything about it. The ‘Alphabet Media’ are like police; in that, they show up after the crime has been committed.
A February 2009 article in the respected Jane's Islamic Affairs Analyst labeled “Turkey’s third power.” The article noted in its Key Points: “Turkey’s Islamist Gulen movement, while a powerful political force, is largely an unfamiliar entity to the West.”
The FGC is named after Fethullah Gulen, a Turkish imam who now lives in the United States. He fled Turkey in 1998 to avoid prosecution on charges that he was attempting to undermine Turkey’s secular government with the objective of establish an Islamic government, and now fully intends to carry on his agenda here in the US with the blessing of our federal courts. Since Gulen’s arrival here, the Department of Homeland Security tried to deport him, but he successfully fought the effort in federal court. It was ruled that he was an individual with “extraordinary ability in the field of education” – even though he has no formal educational training, which is a requirement in the field of education. ‘How deceived we are.’
The FGC organization emerged in Turkey in the 1970’s. According to the Jane’s Islamic Affairs Analyst piece, Gulen stated that “in order to reach the ideal Muslim society 'every method and path is acceptable, including lying [deceiving] to the people.’” This public acknowledgement of Taqiyyah (the deception to advance Islam) is highly pertinent to Gulen’s activities here in the United States.
Background on Gulen
A recent article in the Middle East Quarterly by Rachel Sharon-Kreskin titled “Fethullah Gulen’s Grand Ambition” sheds light on Gulen’s background:
Gülen was a student and follower of Sheikh Sa'id-i Kurdi (1878-1960), also known as Sa'id-i Nursi, the founder of the Islamist Nur (light) movement. After Turkey's war of independence, Kurdi demanded, in an address to the new parliament, that the new republic be based on Islamic principles. He turned against Atatürk and his reforms and against the new modern, secular, Western republic of Turkey.
Sharon-Kreskin documents how the FGC, in league with Turkey’s ruling party, Adalet ve Kalkinma Partisi (AKP), has been successful in gradually moving Turkey away from its secular democratic government, towards an Islamist state governed by Shariah law, and reorienting itself toward Iran. What’s more, other evidence suggests that Gulen’s ultimate goal may well be the resurrection of the Ottoman Empire so as to reinstate the Islamic Caliphate. Clearly this has immensely serious ramifications for geo-political affairs in the Middle East as well as for the continued rise of radical Islam throughout the world.
What makes Gulen particularly dangerous is his strategic and tactical means to achieving this goal. He oversees a worldwide network of businesses, schools, foundations and media outlets, with an estimated budget of 25 billion dollars.
Here’s what Gulen had to say in a sermon in 1999 aired on Turkish television:
“You must move in the arteries of the system without anyone noticing your existence until you reach all the power centers … until the conditions are ripe, they [the followers] must continue like this. If they do something prematurely, the world will crush our heads, and Muslims will suffer everywhere, like in the tragedies in Algeria, like in 1982 [in] Syria … like in the yearly disasters and tragedies in Egypt. The time is not yet right. You must wait for the time when you are complete and conditions are ripe, until we can shoulder the entire world and carry it … You must wait until such time as you have gotten all the state power, until you have brought to your side all the power of the constitutional institutions in Turkey … Until that time, any step taken would be too early—like breaking an egg without waiting the full forty days for it to hatch. It would be like killing the chick inside. The work to be done is [in] confronting the world. Now, I have expressed my feelings and thoughts to you all—in confidence … trusting your loyalty and secrecy. I know that when you leave here—[just] as you discard your empty juice boxes, you must discard the thoughts and the feelings that I expressed here. "
Simply put, he is brilliantly and patiently employing Taqiyyah on a global scale, because this strategic approach is not confined to Turkey. Here in the U.S. the FGC now runs over 90 charter public schools in at least 20 states. This was brought to my attention by someone who actually have relatives who teach in one of these schools. For obvious reasons I cannot reveal the identity of that source.
You may recall the numerous articles I have published regarding the operation of the Tarek ibn Zayed Academy (TiZA), a publicly funded charter school in Minnesota that is so blatantly Islamic in nature that the Minnesota Department of Education issued two citations against it and the ACLU is suing it, and yet it continues to operate unabated. FGC schools appear to be very different, and reflect the Gulen’s exhortation to “move in the arteries of the system without anyone noticing your existence until you reach all the power centers…”
The fact that so little has been written about the FGC schools here in the U.S., as well as the accolades that have been accorded the FGC as a model of “moderation” by some of the many ignorant officials in our government, it would appear to confirm that the FGC and its schools are doing an excellent job of heeding Gulen’s exhortation and masking their true intent. ‘Islamic Taqiyyah’
Numerous Schools appear to be in violation of state law because the school’s affidavit for its charter does not acknowledge that it is connected with a religious institution or group. In other words, those who chartered this school practiced ‘Islamic Taqiyyah’ by hiding this fact. (Enterprising readers may want to research this with respect to FGC schools around the country. For a list of the FGC network in America and its schools, click here.
What’s more, the schools are a source of recruitment for outside school activities sponsored by the FGC, such as summer camps, which would be in keeping with the pattern of recruitment of members and followers that FGC employs worldwide, according to both the Jane’s and Middle East Quarterly articles.
As a further example of the use of ‘Islamic Taqiyyah’, the Jane’s article gives examples of how FGC’s Turkish language media outlet Zaman runs stories with information and headlines that are missing from the English language media outlet Today’s Zaman. This practice of two different messages, one to the indigenous Islamic population and one to the West, is common in the Islamic world, and has led many in the West, including political leaders and academics, to be misled as to the true intentions of Islam.
In building a sophisticated and well-funded worldwide network, including a substantial presence here in the U.S., Fethullah Gulen is following in the footsteps and exhortations of his Prophet Mohammed, who counseled ‘patience and deception’ as a means of overcoming the infidel when the power of the infidel was greater than the power of the umma, (Arabic for the Muslim world community). In a very real sense this is as or more sinister than the frontal assault strategy of Islamic organizations such as al Qaeda and Hamas, because, like the proverbial “boiling of the frog,” we are incrementally “boiled alive” without realizing it.
For years I have been ringing the alarm bells about what is variously known as “cultural stealth jihad,” and the “surreptitious Shariah law,” being imposed on us without so much as a clue. Much of Europe and Great Britain has been Islamized through this process, a process that invariably does not lead to peaceful coexistence between Muslims and non-Muslims, but leads to Islamic self-segregation, increased Islamist militancy, and aggression, and the eventual forced imposition of Islamic Shariah law within the society. This is how all presently Islamic countries have come under the control of the ‘Nation of Islam’.
The FGC charter schools in America may outwardly appear innocuous, but they are serving a greater and long-range objective of Fethullah Gulen. We in the West need to be less gullible and more discerning when it comes to the elements of “Stealth Cultural Jihad” in our Country.
THE BOTTOM LINE: This is even more dangerous than the blatantly Islamic Tarek ibn Zayed Academy (TIZA) charter school in Minnesota, that I have previously written so much about, this is because of its use of the very powerful deception of Islam, the ‘Islamic Taqiyyah’. This very large and ever growing Islamic organization has only one mission, the agenda of Islam to infiltrate and take over America to destroy it from within. This scenario has been repeated throughout history, as an extremely effective tool to control the culture of a country and to ultimately take it over.
They surreptitiously and incrementally weave a web throughout every aspect of our culture, the educational system, governments both State and Federal, and our courts, they get into the minds of our children as a utopian peaceful philophy. Moreover, when and if we recognize it, it will be because they have already begun to pull the string to tighten the noose around our necks. The Sharia law that has been stealthily put into place will now be enforced.
If you don’t believe this is happing, then my friend you are a victim of ‘Islamic Taqiyyah’, the supernatural deception Islam. You see it has already been done, in every country in the world that is now under the control of Islam. It is now happening through Europe and it is happening right here in America. As I said previously, it is just a repeat of history.
Our President recently said: “We are not at war with Islam” this, my friend, is why we will loose.

First, get your facts right. Second, try to think about other possibilities when accusing someone with unproven quilt.
