Except about PKK. You are right there are lot of religious Kurds reading zaman.I agree, they talk bad about iraqian kurds(who is not talking bad about iraqian kurds.), but they dont talk bad about Turkey Kurds.
Yes, next to DTP, AKP gets most votes.If I am not wrong, AKP does get fine votes from kurdish areas too. Am I wrong or van, agrı and some kurdish cities have akp deputies.
He speaks about his Turkish identity a lot and his Turkish nationalism is bigger then my "Kurdish nationalism".He dont speak about his turkish identity too, why do you think he should talk about Said Nursi kurdish identity?
But I agree, he have some mild type of Turkish nationalism, but dont you think his turkish nationalism is not more than your kurdish nationalism?
"The Turkish Islamist movement of Fethullah Gulen is one of the most interesting examples of liberal Islamist thinking in the Middle East. Gulen and his followers have tried to produce a religious-political movement favoring modernism, Turkish nationalism, tolerance, and democracy without sacrificing religious precepts. The structure and philosophy of this movement and its leader have been manifested in many groups and educational institutions. Part of the Turkish secularist elite views Gulen as a progressive development, though others see him as a threat in moderate garb."
The unique character of Gulen's movement lies in its attempt to revitalize traditional values as part of modernizing efforts such as the Turkish state's official modernization program. Thus far, it has had some success as it attempts to harmonize and integrate the historically diverse lands of Turkey and reconcile hundreds of years of tradition with the demands of modernity, not easy tasks. In brief, Gulen seeks to construct a Turkish-style Islam, remember the Ottoman past, Islamicize Turkish nationalism, re-create a legitimate link between the state and religion, emphasize democracy and tolerance, and encourage links with the Turkic republics.
