In recent times
socio-political changes are occurring with such a speed which has never been
observed before in the history of mankind. Previous century can be regarded as
a century of changes and the process is not yet in a mood to end. Emergence of
socialism and its decline, boom of capitalism still prevailing, death of
colonial-system, communism of China, adventures of Advolf Hitler, two
world-wars, Jewishmovement, Berlin-Wall and lot more have been observed and
faced by mankind.
One of
the recent change or I may say socio-political movement has been observed in
Turkey in the recent years. The “Syed Fatah-ullah Golin movement” which has
brought out enormous changes in the Turkey by educating millions of young ones
in especially devised school-system, a great welfare network, business
associations and also training thousands
of scholars in modern Islamic ways. He did not politicized the movement and
never helped any political candidate but in fact this was the movement which
has supported and strengthened the “Justice Party” under the leadership of Tayyab
Ardgan (a great reformer).
Another reason behind the success of “Justice
Party” is that Tayyab Ardgan has not only the voting-power of the rightists
under his belt but also he worked
hard to attain the popularity among centre-of-right and liberal-left
forces of the society. They introduced new and fresh slogans in the political
system such as “we are socially conservatives but politically liberal” to
attract the masses.
In short this movement has not only proved the
practicality of Islam but also has laid
the foundation for many upcoming revolutions yet to come.
Isn't it right?

ReplyDeleteAs I am not religious, I do not like connections between religion and politics. Nevertheless, Gülen movement seems more open, reasonable and moderate alternative to other popular Islamic movements that antagonized many other popular political, religious and nationalist currents in the rest of the world, particularly in West, Russia, India and China. Its oposition to neo-liberal capitalism is also encouraging. Nevertheless, recent accusation for infiltration of the movement in state structures should be understand seriously; it is not untypical for political movements not formed in traditional parties to try something like that. So, some caution is necessary.
