Professor Discusses Islam and Modernity

A famous professor appeared on CNN Turk hosted by Taha Akyol to discuss Islam and Modernity. Professor Nilufer Gole gave Turkish schools as examples to explain that the conservative segment is more open to internalization or globalization.

What is interesting in here is that the educational volunteers who believe in the Gulen movement are from the conservative segment of the society and their movement is open to the world and it has become internationalized. I myself saw one of the schools.

To support her view, Gole underlined the EU policy of the ruling AK Party, and the businesses in the provinces called the Anatolian Lions export activities. Conservative people in Turkiye are considered to be one step ahead in modernity and internalization.

How do you consider the Turkish Schools movement around the world?

' What is interesting in here is that the educational volunteers who believed in the Gulen movement are from the conservative segment of the society but their movement is open to the world and it has become internationalized. I myself saw one of the schools. For example, I saw how successful the school in English medium teaching within a multilingual environment was when I visited the school in Azerbaijani capital Baku.


Prof. Gole praised Turkish teachers who have been voluntarily working in Turkish schools around the world.

The teachers go to the other end of the world with no fear. They can change their lives and teach unimaginably. As a society we were not used to seeing such cases. You could say immigrants are very skilled in adapting to new conditions where they go to. But this is different. They are not immigrants.
