Toward A Global Civilization Of Love & Tolerance, by M. Fethullah Gülen (English)

"This book has a double purpose. On the one hand, it is a call to Muslims to a greater awareness that Islam teaches the need for dialogue and that Muslims are called to be agents and witnesses to God's universal mercy. On the other hand, the book is an invitation to non-Muslims to move beyond prejudice, suspicion, and half-truths in order to arrive at an understanding of what Islam is really about."
Thomas Michel, SJ Secretary for interreligious Dialogue for the Society of Jesus

"Tolerance, inclusiveness, love and compassion represent the central themes of Gülen's thought...(a) study of Gülen's writings reveals these elements as penetrating right to the core of his thought, or better, as originating from the very center of his thinking The sweetness is no more surface dressing but runs oll the way through.

Put simply, Gülen would argue that love is at the very heart of Islam and hence represents the central theme of Sufism, whose genius lies in its interpreting of the spirit of Islam, and must therefore be very axis around which all of his work revolves. "
