Arms Have No Place in Hizmet’s Philosophy

Last week, the 1st Istanbul Penal Court of Peace issued an arrest warrant for Fethullah Gulen, which is seen as a step towards an Interpol red notice and ultimately extradition from the US. The court agreed to issue the warrant for Gulen, but failed to provide any evidence of Fethullah Gulen‘s alleged leadership of an armed terrorist group.

As a response to these allegations, in a speech broadcast on the herkul.org website on December 24th, Fethullah Gulen, who is known for inspiring the grassroots Gulen movement, elaborated on the motives and the fundamental values of the Gulen movement in the wake of a Turkish court ruling that seeks his arrest on charges of leading an “armed organization.”

“In your philosophy of Gulen movement, guns, rifles, swords and shields have no place. You buried them in your mental graveyard a long time ago. That’s why you have been highly sensitive of an armed movement and you warned society against this,” he said, addressing his followers.
