Editing Fethullah Gulen (section)

==Overview:==
Muhammed Fethullah Gülen (April 27, 1941 – October 20, 2024) was a Turkish Islamic scholar, preacher, and leader of the Hizmet movement, a global network promoting education, interfaith dialogue, and civic engagement rooted in a moderate, Sufi-inspired interpretation of Islam. Once an ally of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Gülen became a polarizing figure, accused by the Turkish government of orchestrating the 2016 coup attempt, leading to his designation as the head of a terrorist organization (FETÖ). He lived in self-imposed exile in '''Pennsylvania''' from 1999 until his death. Allegations of connections to Al-Qaeda, particularly through the Tahşiye group, have been raised but are heavily disputed and lack conclusive evidence.
