Fethullah Gulen and the Gulen Movement

 Good Evening! I am Fatima Osipowicz and I am from Washington DC, and I am a Professor of English at American University in Washington, DC. When I think of this trip the only thing I can think of is using adjectives in a superlative. This is an English teacher speaking, ha hah! This was the most unique, this was the most fascinating, this was the most memorable trip that I have taken, and I have taken a lot of trips. I have been to a lot of countries throughout the world. I have lived in a lot of countries; I have consulted in a lot of countries, and traveled. But this is something that is gonna stay in my memory for a long time. One: because I have been fascinated by the Gulen movement. I think they are doing a lot of good, not only for Muslims over the world, me being one of them, but also for their country. I am impressed by the fact that they are so concerned about their youth, which is the future of Turkey. They are also concerned about life, and making everything as good as possible. They seem to be very good, kind, sincere, honest, pleasant, wonderful people. I have enjoyed every single person I have met. In addition to the people that I have met from Gulen movement I would like to say something to the members of this group: I have enjoyed talking to every single one of you, all the men, all the women. I think that we should be very happy, proud of what we have accomplished in our lives, and I hope that we continue to do the wonderful things that we have done in the past, to continue to do that in the future. I was very pleased and honored to be with such a fine group. I was very pleased and honored to have such wonderful leaders in our group, and I will remember this trip for a very long time, and I wish the Gulen movement success! They are already successful, but I wish them even more success…
