#2 Gulan doesn't seem to be financed by the Saudis or Iran or Soros or any of the usual suspects.

It is closer to the model of a personally run empire of multiple mini enterprises and mini initiatives with the ability to skim funds from any and all. It is somewhat like a cross between Scientology, the Clinton Global Foundation and the Muslim Brotherhood.

#6 Speaking at Kanal D TV”s Arena program, PM Erdogan commented on the term “moderate Islam”, often used in the West to describe AKP and said, “These descriptions are very ugly, it is offensive and an insult to our religion. There is no moderate or immoderate Islam. Islam is Islam and that’s it.”
