Abstract

Public expressions of Islamic law, non-Turkish ethnic identity or non-Muslim religious identity had either been banned or stigmatized by the Kemalist state. But counter-hegemonic and anti-hegemonic knowledge sources and identities have continued to co-exist as unofficial, subaltern and periphery phenomena, producing their own anti or counter-systemic knowledge, including unofficial Muslim. In this chapter, I am only able to focus on practicing Muslims and among them, the Gulen Movement that has mainly focused on science and secular education. The movement has reproduced several Islamic concepts to transnationally mobilize Turks. Eventually the Movement’s operations have reached to 170 countries until the global crackdown against it by the Erdoganist regime in Turkey.
