تاجر الدين: نموذج لاستغلال الدين في أغراض سياسية

About the book

Merchant of Religion: An Example of the Exploitation of Religion for Political Purposes.

As can be understood from the explanatory title carried by this book, its content does not merely reveal the hidden goals and secrets of the "Fethullah Gülen" movement; it also exposes and lays bare most movements that trade in religion, conceal their true goals under the cloak of Islam, and completely contradict Islam's call for true justice encompassing both rulers and the ruled. This is in obedience to the command, "When you judge between people, judge with justice." In this line, the book answers the following questions:
• Who is Fethullah Gülen, and what are the goals of his movement?
• Why do some Islamic movements resort to secrecy and concealment?
• Why do some movements hide behind charitable and voluntary work?
• What is the secret behind the alliance of some of these movements with local and international powers hostile to the interests of peoples?
• Why do some movements utilize what is called 'coercive duress' (ikrah al-mulji') in Islamic jurisprudence in the forms of lies, espionage, slander, unearned gain, and the like?
• Why do these movements use local and international lobbies to achieve their own interests?
• Why do the leaders of these movements draw a halo of infallibility around their personalities and impose blind obedience on their followers?
• Why is there a lack of transparency for dialogue, confrontation, and accountability in these movements?
