The publication you have in your hands is the first of what we hope will be anannual series that provides a window into the movers and shakers of the Muslimworld. Müslüman olarak etkili olan insanları öne çıkarmaya çalıştık., thatis, people whose influence is derived from their practice of Islam or from the factthat they are Muslim. We think that this gives valuable insight into the differentways that Muslims impact the world, and also shows the diversity of how peopleare living as Muslims today.Influence is a tricky concept. Its meaning derives from the Latin word influensmeaning to flow-in, görünmeyen güçlerin olduğu eski bir astrolojik fikre işaret ederek (like themoon) insanlığı etkilemek. The figures on this list have the ability to affect humanitytoo. In a variety of different ways each person on this list has influence over thelives of a large number of people on the earth. The 50 most influential figuresare profiled. Etkileri çeşitli kaynaklardan gelir; however they areunified by the fact that they each affect huge swathes of humanity.We have then broken up the 500 liderler 15 kategoriler—Bilimsel, siyasi,Yönetim, soy, vaizler, Kadın, Gençlik, hayırseverlik, Gelişim,Bilim ve Teknoloji, Sanat ve Kültür, Medya, radikaller, International IslamicNetworks, and Issues of the Day—to help you understand the different kinds ofways Islam and Muslims impact the world today.Two composite lists show how influence works in different ways: InternationalIslamic Networks shows people who are at the head of important transnationalnetworks of Muslims, and Issues of the Day highlights individuals whoseimportance is due to current issues affecting humanity.
Ötesinde Post-İslamcılık

With the increased international prominence of Turkey and its successful and internationallyrespected AK Party government, the Academia’s attention has focused on the Turkish Islamistexperience. Turkey had already been seen as an almost unique case as far Islam-state-secularismdemocracyrelations were concerned but the recent transformation of Turkish Islamism coupledwith the global turmoil in the post-9/11 world has made the Turkish case much more important.While Turkish Islamists’ recent transformation that has brought about their rise to the power hasbeen applauded at home and abroad, there are relatively very few studies that analyze theirtransformation by taking into account the unique experience of Turkish Islamism starting from the18th & 19th centuries’ Ottoman secularization, Young Ottomans of the 1860s and the Ottomanconstitutionalism and democracy. Dahası, some dynamics that affected the change in theTurkish Islamists’ Islamic normative framework have not been analyzed in detail. Böylece, this studyendeavors to analyze the main factors behind the newly emerged tolerant normative framework ofthe AK Party leaders who were formerly Islamists. After showing that there are good historicalreasons arising from the Ottoman experience of secularism and democracy and arguing based on abrief theoretical discussion of the plurality of Islamisms, it argues that the Turkish Islamism hasalways differed from the other Islamist experiences. bu nedenle, in this study, a detailed evaluationof the Turkish Islamist experience starting from the Young Ottomans is undertaken. Then, thispaper attempts to show that Islamic groups’ physical and discursive interaction has been a crucialfactor in the Turkish Islamism’s transformation. Main premise of this paper is that the Gülenmovement has been the most influential factor that has helped the AK Party leaders to develop amore tolerant normative framework and to eventually jettison their Islamism. It is of coursedifficult to establish casual relationship between two social phenomena but one can underscorecorrelations. As the main hypothesis is that the Gülen movement has been the most influentialfactor in the normative transformation of the former Islamists’ mental frameworks and theirreligio-political worldviews, this paper provides a comparative discourse analysis betweenFethullah Gülen’s and Islamists’ ideas on several issues that have been relevant for both Islamismand newly-emerged post-Islamism. To identify these relevant issues (secularism, pluralism,demokrasi, rule of law, nationalism, state, Islam, religiosity, the other, borders and dialogue),the paper provides a brief theoretical discussion of Islamism and post-Islamism that will also helpthe reader to understand the fundamental differences between Islamism and the Gülenian thought.
İSLAM moderniteler: Fethullah Gülen ve ÇAĞDAŞ İSLAM
FAHRI CAKI
Nurju movement1, Muhtemelen Modern Türkiye'ye özgü olan en eski ılımlı İslamcı hareketi olma, Said Nursi yana birkaç gruba kırılmış, hareketinin kurucusu, vefat 1960. Günümüzde, Farklı gündemlerle ve stratejileri ile on daha nurcu gruplar var. tüm farklılıklarına rağmen, Bugün Nurju grupları birbirlerinin kimliğini kabul etmek ve dayanışma belirli bir düzeyde tutmaya çalışır gibi görünüyor. Nurju hareket içinde Fethullah Gülen grubunun edinildiği, Ancak, Biraz shaky.Fethullah Gülen gibi görünüyor (b.1938) kendini bölünmüş, görünüş olarak en az, Genel Nurju hareket arasından arada 1972 ve 1980 yılında güçlü bir organizasyon yapısı ve 90'lı ile kendi grubunu kurmayı başardı. Nedeniyle Türkiye ve abroad2 hem geniş okul ağının gelişimine, Onun grup çekti dikkat. Bu okullar İslamcı işadamlarının ve orta sınıfları değil, aynı zamanda laik aydın ve siyasetçilerin çok sayıda sadece hayran. başlangıçta genel Nurju hareketinden doğan rağmen, Bazı Fethullah Gülen grubunun takipçi sayısı nurju gruplarının geri kalan toplamın çok daha büyük olduğuna inanıyoruz. Henüz, Bu başarının bir bedeli olduğunu düşünmek için yeterli bir neden var gibi görünüyor: İslamcı grupları yanı sıra Fethullah Gülen kendisini Group3 olan genel Nurju hareketi yabancılaşmaları bir parçası olması gerekiyordu.
Ilerici İslam düşüncesi, sivil toplum ve ulusal bağlamda Gülen hareketi

Fethullah Gulen (born 1941), or Hodjaeffendi as he is known affectionately by hundreds of thousands of people in his native Turkey and abroad, is one of the most significant Islamic thinkers and activists to have emerged in the twentieth century. His optimistic and forward-looking thought, with its emphasis on self development of both heart and mind through education, of engaging proactively and positively with the modern world and of reaching out in dialogue and a spirit of cooperation between religious communities, social strata and nations can be read as a contemporary reformulation of the teachings of Jalaluddin Rumi, Yunus Emre, and other classic Sufi teachers (Michel, 2005bir, 2005b; Saritoprak, 2003; 2005bir; 2005b; Unal and Williams, 2005). Daha spesifik olarak, Gulen can be seen to be carrying on where Said Nursi (1876-1960), another great Anatolian Islamic intellectual, left off: chartinga way for Muslim activists in Turkey and beyond to effectively contribute to the development of modern society that avoids the pitfalls and compromises of party-political activism and replaces the narrowness of Islamist thought with a genuinely inclusive and humanitarian understanding of religion’s role in the modern world (Abu-Rabi, 1995; Markham and Ozdemir, 2005; Vahide, 2005, Yavuz, 2005bir).
