Preventing Violence and Achieving World Peace

«At a time of utter urgency in Muslim/non-Muslim relations, this book on the Gülen Movement appears as a beacon of hope, offering multifaceted insight into Gülen's thought and practice – touching upon themes of philosophy, education, interfaith mysticism, universalism, and the cosmos. It offers significant support to the Charter for Compassion movement, another grassroots effort, also grounded in the need for self-improvement, humility, education toward tolerance and away from violence, and, above all, in the compatible notion of hizmet – outward action of kindness and service toward the other. Taking these insights to heart may help to awaken humanity to embrace ‘our diversity as a species. and – insha’Allah – to achieve ‘fullness of peace’ in our time.» (Helen McConnell, CAN (Compassionate Action Network) International Fellow; Co-Founder of the Compassionate Washington, D.C.
