Fethullah Gulen: Muslims Must Combat the Extremist Cancer

Turkish Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen urged Muslims to denounce terrorism, defend human rights and promote education. In an op-ed published in The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), he has called on Muslims around the world to take an action about Muslims’ lingering problems.

He emphasized that terrorist violence carried out in the name of Islam profoundly affects all Muslims and that Muslims should join efforts to combat.

“Members of the faith must do whatever possible to prevent this cancer from metastasizing in our communities. If we don’t, we’ll be partly responsible for the smeared image of our faith,” Gülen wrote in the WSJ.

“Violent extremism has no religion,” he said. “Mainstream Muslims do not endorse violence.”
