As for the idea mentioned in the article, that he plans to overthrow the state, that's just hilarious accusation that anyone would laugh at. Anyone who knows Fethullah Gulen, knows that he has nothing to do with the politics and adheres strictly to the well-known rooted principle: "We do not accept rebellion against our Imam or those in charge of our affairs even if they are unjust, nor do we wish evil on them, nor do we withdraw from following them. We hold that obedience to them is part of obedience to Allah, the Glorified, and therefore obligatory as long as they do not order to commit sins. We pray for their right guidance and ask for pardon for their wrongs." Aqida at-Tahawi As for the Sik and Nedim mentioned in the article, they are the members of ~100-year-old godless mafia called Ergenekon who overthrew the government many times just to construct a state which crushes fellow innocent Muslims and favoring the secularists. Their arrest has nothing to do with the movement - nor freedom of speech. They were arrested because of their such hideous connection with the terrorist godless organization, Ergenekon. This was all documented in the court.
