As-salamu ´alaykum,

What I have heard from their main men in Istanbul behind closed doors is nothing but khayr. However, talking openly about the "political aspects" of Islam in Turkey is very dangerous, especially for such a high-profiled man like Fethullah.

A lot of Turks (and other muslims for that matter!) have fallen so hard that sometimes it is thought that it is better to start with the basics such as belief in Allah and cleaning up the country. That way people can become receptive to Islam. Unfortunately, not everyone is.

We may not agree with everything that they do, that's not the point. The point is that they do a tremendous amount of khayr, especially their schools. Sure, to me they may appear a bit modernist. But alhamdulillah, Islam and its Da'wah is bigger than me
