The Western secular belief system or Secular Humanism is a combination of political and economic ideals associated with the US Constitution and Bill of Rights. It is commonly associated with science and technology but only because we have had a century and a half-long struggled to seemingly connect them. There is no connection, however. Those ideals cannot be supported by science. For example, if “democracy” is superior to all other forms of government, why is it that no one can define precisely what it is and distinguish it from a republic and simply the parlamentary system? Also, “In unity there is strength” has had to be replaced with “praise diversity,” but we need to praise it only in order to limit the damage to unity that it causes. In other words, we are good at rationalizing. All ideologies rationalize, including the secular one.

Gulenic Islam can adopt secular political and economic ideals even though they are not in the Koran, but it cannot adopt the kind of science Islam needs in order to catch up with, much less surpass, the West without rationalizing a consistency between science and the legands in the Koran. Science must reject whatever cannot be shown or duplicated, and it is not possible and not consistent with science that Mohammed flew to Heaven to confer with “gods,” or that Christ will return or even that the Kaaba is “sacred.” There are no sacred books or spiritual beings in science, and technology can only be based on science.

For Gulenism to adopt science, it will have to turn Islam into a divided and liberalized faith such as we in the West with the Methodist, Prespateran, Lutheren, and Unitarian churches. Its science and technology will suffer just to the point it cannot (or refuses to) manage that.

They really know how to wrap the poison up to make gullible, naive kafirs eat it. But lets a closer look, lets smell it:

Here is Al-Ghazali, evidently with no intention of departing either from Sufism or Muslim orthodoxy, writing about jihad war and the treatment of the vanquished non-Muslim dhimmi peoples:

[O]ne must go on jihad (i.e., warlike razzias or raids) at least once a year…one may use a catapult against them [non-Muslims] when they are in a fortress, even if among them are women and children. One may set fire to them and/or drown them…If a person of the Ahl al-Kitab [People of The Book - primarily Jews and Christians] is enslaved, his marriage is [automatically] revoked…One may cut down their trees…One must destroy their useless books. Jihadists may take as booty whatever they decide…they may steal as much food as they need…

As usual, read the whole text, there’s always more…..

[The principal goal of the Rumi Forum is to promote peace in the world and contribute to a peaceful coexistence of the adherents of different faiths, cultures, ethnicities and races. For that to be achieved, we believe that everyone must be respectful to the environment and to all creatures’ right to exist, believe in the sanctity of human rights and democracy and use all means at hand to make this coexistence possible.]

There’s a surprise – “peaceful coexistence” (a New Age of harmony?)

People will get their age of “peaceful coexistence” (on allah’s terms?),
followed by sudden destruction, on God’s terms:

While they are saying “Peace and safety!” then in a moment destruction falls upon them, like birth-pains on a woman who is with child; and escape there is none. (1 Thessalonians 5:3)

Muslims beware. Some openly accused Gulen of being the 7th Cardinal. he has not denied it.!?
