I have been observing that there is lots of ill will among our members and/or people who can post articles on the Forum, against Fethullah Hoca. This may or may not be justified. I personally am not a religious person at all. I am sorry to say that I am 68 years old and still don’t know namaz and most of the prayers. However, being an astute student of Ottoman History, I know that The Ottoman Empire was dismembered somewhat by acts and lies of Christian Missionaries, whose schools I had attended later on. Shouldn’t there be a Moslem Missionary or two also? Maybe if powerful enough, they can help Turkey and other Moslem nations.
I am a graduate of Talas American School, Tarsus American College, and Robert College School of Engineering. There was no Christian propaganda by the missionaries, when I went to school at these institutions. However, their predecessors were instrumental in dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire and/or invented as well as flamed and armed, and financed armenian and greek rebellions.
Bulgaria was lost mainly due to the efforts of Robert College missionaries. Missionaries at Anatolia College started the Pontus Empire lie. They were instrumental in death of many innocent Moslems. Missionaries at the schools in Talas, Tarsus, Central Anatolia College, Euphrates College, and American Missions at Trebizonde(Trabzon), Harpout (Harput), Mouche (Mus), and Van encouraged armenians to rebel. Their lies attracted donations from USA, where the word Turk, became synonymous with a dirty monster. You know the rest of the story.
Ladies and gentlemen, please think about what I just said. Maybe you can look at Fettullah Hoca from a different point of view from now on.
