American sociology professor Helen Rose Ebaugh, who is also the author of a book analyzing the
Gülen movement, said the movement is a powerful challenge to the fears that people have after the 9/11 attacks and also praised the
movement for its tremendous contribution to world peace.
The professor visited İstanbul last week upon an invitation from the
Journalists and Writers Foundation (GYV) and shared her opinion with Sunday’s Zaman. Ebaugh is known for her book titled “
The Gülen Movement: A Sociological Analysis of a Civic Movement Rooted in Moderate Islam.”
