Bill Gates Funds Gulen Islamist Movement
Paul Williams, PhD
Fethullah Gulen has been called the “most dangerous Islamist” in the world. He has amassed a fortune – thanks, in part, to the CIA – of $25 billion. This money has been used to transform the secular government of Turkey into an Islamic Republic under the Justice and Democratic Party (Adalet ve Kalkinma, AKP) – a party under the Gulen’s control.
Reader Comments:
Employers can legally discriminate against qualified Americans by firing them without cause and recruiting only H-1B guest-workers to replace them. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has said: “H-1B workers may be hired even when a qualified U.S. worker wants the job, and a U.S. worker can be displaced from the job in favor of a foreign worker.” Some companies that discriminate against American workers are so brazen that their job advertisements say “H-1B visa holders only.” And some companies in the United States have workforces that consist almost entirely of H-1B guest-workers.

Gulen is merely accomplishing 2 things by immigrating under the HB-1 Visas.
1) Cheap labor, many of these Turkish Teachers are living together. Some have complained they are not even drawing a salary. They ask very little questions and get moved from Charter school to charter School. The principal at the now closed Beehive Academy (UT) came from the Gulen schools in Arizona. The prinicpals are always Turkish, the staff is mixed with American Teachers who have questionable backgrounds and abilities as well as the foreign teachers.
2) Gulen’s movement knows that the US Charter schools have very little auditing going on, The Turkish teachers teach the students Turkish language, songs, dances and even Turkish food (shish kebab and baklava) The children are being indoctrinated that Islam and Turkey is a pure, intelligent, kind and peace loving religion / culture. UTube has several examples of the school’s Turkish song and dance performances. It is a sad day in America when Hispanic and African American children are told “no more ethnic studies” but Turkish culture is being crammed down their throat. These American kids can barely speak English properly, or know of our American Folklore and history.

Amazing. Public funds used for Muslim schools. But try to get a penny from the government for a Christian or Jewish school, and you run into the ACLU. Where are they when the Muslims are concerned? Wake up America! The government has become the enemy and we sit helpless.

Mr. Gates ought to be ashamed! Too bad he has enough money to protect himself legally from any kind of backlash stemming from the concept of “TREASON”.

At a time in Arizona when Superintendent Tom Horne is auditing all public school teachers classes. There is a witch hunt in our public schools on the immigrant teachers and their English skills. Yet these schools in Arizona are staffed with half HB-1 Visa workers from Turkey with heavy accents.
Tom Horne if you are going to audit the public school teachers, audit the Sonoran Science Academies of Arizona that Gulen runs.

This disgusts me, our public schools are under attack, being audited, lack of funds, teachers laid off. I can go work at a Charter school tomorrow and never have to worry about half the scrunity I go through on a daily basis.
The photo of Gates is great, but the head gear is wrong. That is Arabic, it should be a Turkish Fez.

To TeacherArizona
You will never get a job at Sonoran Science Academy they do Legally post jobs openings. However you being an intellgent person would be using the main stream media to look for a job.
Sonoran Science Academy justifies not being able to find qualified because they only post job openings on Craigslist. Which leads to the questionable Americans teachers they do hire. Ol’ uncle Tom Horn needs to be fair on his witch hunt. It is known that he favor schools esp. this one. Quoted from the AZSTAR ” Superintendent of Public Education Tom Horne said all that matters to him with the regard to the Turkish-run schools is results. He was unconcerned with possible connections to this religious-political movement or the large scale use of teachers from Turkey and Central Asia.”
Many of these foreingnors do not even have qualified creditials for there field of techings. Not just the main SSA campus needs to be looked but all six SSA schools.

I am really sad with reading this article with some mistakes misinformation and suiza. Writers should be more careful about blaming others especially if they are muslims because everyone of us knows how American Public opinion is brittle about them especially after 9/11. First Before Erdogan Turkey was not a secular country but was a country that directed buy “kemalist” sheriah. Or Turkey was not a secular country like Western States or USA but has a secularism like Hitler Germany or Stalins Communist Russia -I mean a lighter form-. After erdogan Turkey has been had the greatest relations with European Union and Usa and is becoming a real secular country like USA Britain. The speec of Gulen in your article was not from 1999 but from 1989 or earlier. This speech took place in a country that if you are a muslim woman -I mean wearing scarf on your head- you cant enter universities schools state as a worker and even some state buldings as a single citizen. So gulen said in that speech “you must not give up untill improve yourself and become a member of nation as normal citizens. And until you get the rights of normal citizen hide yourself for example if your wife has scarf dont show them your wife because they may prevent you to rise. This speech has a history of at least 20 years. This speech is related to a very special conditions in Turkey. Gulen criticized the 9/11 as a terroristic attack without “but”s and exceptions. He always criticized terrorism to this nation. One of Gulen most effective activities are dialog activities. He see the demand of dialog between Islamic world and West countries and again nearly for 15-20 year. The Ironi about him is some muslims (right side) in turkey attacks him and say he is an “Sionist” other muslims on right side says he is working for “Vatican”. Some says (this is the hugest group including nationalists) say he is working for USA and CIA
some laics-but not secular- “Kemalist” says he is working for USA or Iran -what a logic-. And in Usa there are a little articles like this says He has some deep purposes for USA. But a huge I thing a very very big group then any other people think he is a real muslim and working for peace and humanity.( Have you noticed the similarities of claims between Gandhi and Gulen).
