Fethullah Gulen, allegedly ³the most dangerous Islamist on planet earth,´ is alive, well, and
living in Pennsylvania with over $25 billion in financial assets.
From Pennsylvania, he has toppled the secular government of Turkey, established over 3,000
schools throughout Central Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the United States, created a new
country called East Turkistan, and formed a movement that seeks to create a New Islamic World
Order.
This reporter made a recent visit to Gulen¶s 28-acre mountain complex at 1857 Mt. Eaton Road
in Saylorsburg, PA ± - the very heart of the Pocono Mountains.
The complex consists of a massive chalet that is surrounded by numerous out buildings,
including recreational centers, dormitories, and cabins for visiting foreign dignitaries. The
property also contains a large pond, a helicopter pad, and, reportedly, firing ranges.
The first floor of the chalet contains a dining hall capable of serving a small army. The second
floor is an open area with a library, computer station, and open areas with divans where disciples
pour over Turkish newspapers, Islamic texts, and the collected wisdom of their Hocaefendi
(³religious master´). Gulen himself resides on the third floor and rarely emerges to meet with his
followers, let alone inquisitive reporters.
The road leading into the complex is blocked by a metal gate and a sentry hut.Inside the Gulen

imageFethullah Gulen, allegedly ³the most dangerous Islamist on planet earth,´ is alive, well,
and living in Pennsylvania with over $25 billion in financial assets.
From Pennsylvania, he has toppled the secular government of Turkey, established over 3,000
schools throughout Central Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the United States, created a new
country called East Turkistan, and formed a movement that seeks to create a New Islamic World
Order.
This reporter made a recent visit to Gulen¶s 28-acre mountain complex at 1857 Mt. Eaton Road
in Saylorsburg, PA ± - the very heart of the Pocono Mountains.
The complex consists of a massive chalet that is surrounded by numerous out buildings,
including recreational centers, dormitories, and cabins for visiting foreign dignitaries. The
property also contains a large pond, a helicopter pad, and, reportedly, firing ranges.
The first floor of the chalet contains a dining hall capable of serving a small army. The second
floor is an open area with a library, computer station, and open areas with divans where disciples
pour over Turkish newspapers, Islamic texts, and the collected wisdom of their Hocaefendi
(³religious master´). Gulen himself resides on the third floor and rarely emerges to meet with his
followers, let alone inquisitive reporters.
The road leading into the complex is blocked by a metal gate and a sentry hut.
imageWithin the hut are high definition televisions that flash images from the security cameras
that have been strategically placed throughout the complex. The post is manned day and night by
Turkish guards, who speak little or no English.
Before the hut is a sign that reads ³Golden Generation Worship and Retreat Center.´ No visitor
in his or her right mind could believe that the tiny, one room building serves as a house of
worship, let alone a place for a weekend retreat. The building contains only a metal desk, two
straight chairs, the monitors, and the sentries who, upon the occasion of this reporter¶s visit,
offered no word of welcome but instead called upon other members of the complex to escort this
reporter and his photographer sidekick from the premises.
The neighbors complained to this reporter of gunfire from fully automatic weapons coming from
the complex and the presence of a surveillance helicopter that combs the property in search of
unwanted intruders.
They maintain that an army of approximately 100 Turkish guards stand watch over the property
in order to protect their reclusive leader.
Combing the parameters of the property, one can easily spot the guards. They wear suits, white
shirts, and ties and do not look like traditional Islamists in cloaks and turbans.
According to a source within the compound, the guards and other members of the compound
follow their Hocaefendi¶s orders without question and refrain from marrying until age fifty per
his instructions. When they do marry, the spouses are expected to dress in the Islamic manner, as
dictated by Gülen himself.
The women do not live within the complex but rather in modest houses along Mt. Eton Road.
Little about Gulen, as U.S. Attorney Patrick Meehan discovered, is known ± ± not even his date
of birth. Some of his followers maintain that he was born in 1934; others 1938; and still others
1942.
How dangerous is Gulen?
In his public statements, Gulen espouses a liberal version of Sunni/Hanafi Islam and promotes
the Muslim notion of hizmet ± - altruistic service to the common good.
Despite the presence of the armed guards at his Pocono fortress, Gulen has condemned terrorism
and called for interfaith dialogue. He claims to have met with Pope John Paul II, the Greek
Orthodox Patriarch Bartholomeos, and Israeli Sephardic Head Rabbi Eliyahu Bakshi-Doron.
Whether these meetings with Christian and Jewish leaders actually occurred is questionable. On
his website, Gulen says that he has a UNECO award from Pope John Paul II in October, 2005.
John Paul II died on April 2, 2005.
In private, Gulen has stated that ³in order to reach the ideal Muslim society every method and
path is acceptable, [including] lying to people.´
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 early²like 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 all²in confidence « trusting your loyalty and
secrecy. I know that when you leave here²[just] as you discard your empty juice boxes, you
must discard the thoughts and the feelings that I expressed here.
Under the AKP, Turkey has become a militant Islamic state, transferring its alliance from Europe
and the United States to Russia and Iran
Anyone doubting the incredible power wielded by Gulen need only take note of the
achievements of the Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkinma, AKP)- ± a party Gulen
formed this party as soon as he arrived in Pennsylvania. By 2003, the AKP became the
governing party in Turkey and a powerful force throughout the Muslim world. Abdullah Gul,
Turkey¶s first Islamist President, is a Gulen disciple, along with Prime Minister Recep Tayyip
Erdogan and Yusuf Ziya Ozcan, the head of Turkey¶s Council of Higher Education.
Under the AKP, Turkey has become a militant Islamic state, transferring its alliance from Europe
and the United States to Russia and Iran. It has moved toward friendship with Hamas, Hezbollah,
and Syria and created a pervasive anti-Christian, anti-Jewish, and anti-America animus
throughout the populace.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony of ³TRT al Turkiye´, the new channel of the state run TV
station TRT, Prime Minister Erdogan said Turkey will always be on the side of Muslims
wherever they are.
Within Turkey, Gulen also formed a vast conglomerate called Kaynak Holding, which today
includes some 15 companies involved in the retail, I.T., construction, and food industries. The
main division, Kaynak Publishing, maintains 28 publishing labels. It produces hundreds of books
per year on and by Gülen, in addition to books on the glories of the Ottoman Empire and the
achievements of militant Islam.
Gulen also owns Feza Media Group, which publishes the Today¶s Zaman (Turkey¶s leading
daily newspaper) and the magazine Aksiyon. A subsidiary of Feza is Samanyolu Broadcasting,
which operates most of Turkey¶s TV stations. Gulen and his followers also control Bank Asya,
now Turkey¶s largest Islamic bank, with billions of dollars in assets, and TUSKON, a Turkish
businessmen¶s association, with 50,000 companies as members.
With his vast resources, Gulen established thousands of schools throughout Central Asia ± - ±
Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, and Azerbaijan ± - in order to create a
massive pan-Islamic state. Noted whistleblower Sibel Edmonds explains: ³Turkey shares the
same heritage/race as the entire population of Central Asia, the same language (Turkic), the same
religion (Sunni Islam), and of course, the strategic location and proximity.´
According to Bayram Balci, a Turkish scholar, the Gulen schools seek to expand ³the
Islamization of Turkish nationality and the Turification of Islam´ in order to bring about a
universal caliphate ruled by Islamic law.
Because of the subversive nature of these institutions, these schools have been outlawed in
Russia and Uzbekistan.
Even the Netherlands, a nation that embraces pluralism and tolerance, has opted to cut funding to
the Gulen schools because of their imminent threat to the social order.
But Gulen¶s 150-plus charter schools in the United States, which advance Gulen¶s international
agenda have received little national attention.
All of these charter schools ± - which advance the New Islamic World Order ± - are fully funded
by American taxpayers.
