The Gülen Movement is a social and educational movement inspired by the teachings of Turkish cleric Fethullah Gülen. It promotes values such as peace, tolerance, and interfaith dialogue, emphasizing the importance of education and community service. The movement has established numerous schools, universities, and cultural centers around the world, aiming to foster a sense of global citizenship. While the movement has gained followers for its educational initiatives, it has also faced criticism and controversy, particularly in Turkey. The Turkish government has accused the movement of being involved in a failed coup attempt in 2016, leading to a crackdown on its institutions and followers.
