I notice that some people here reveal apparent hostility against Islam and Islamic thoughts showing it like a ghost threatening people´s lives. But this is not true, Islam is not dangerous, it is not harmful. Why are you afraid of Islamic thoughts being spread in Turkey or wherever? Islam doesn´t force anybody to believe or to do what they don´t want to do. I´ve read the article sent by Roswitha www.meforum.org/article/404 that talks about Gülen and his life and I found that he is not racial, or bigot, or dangerous. Instead, he is moderate and every Muslim has the right to support him or not.

can smbdy tell me the true definition of a secular state// from my understanding i dunno if its right or wrong but is it a state that doesn´t mix religion with politics??????i think every where in the world is except like Saudi Arabia and those parts like in Egypt we don´t call ourselves a secular state and i don´t see how we mix politics with religion in anyway at all but were not so ´hot headed´ about it i mean if smbdy comes and talks about religion in turkey hes suddenly a terrorist or an anti kemalist and why cant he be a modern thinker im a muslim my dad´s modern he´s a pharmacology professor in america and he always talks about politics and hes a Muslim is it so hard to piece the 2 together???And anybody whose a Muslim doesnt go preaching ppl around everybody has the right to be and do whatever they want and Islam doesn´t force everybody to embrace it the exact opposite!!so i wonder if i went to turkey would i be a threat to the state or smthg???Smbdy plzz explain!!

thank u
