For some time I have been following Fethullah Gulen Hodja's "tolerance" initiatives, and I applaud this. Today, we can hold these beautiful social values in a way that is worthy of the world. Great catastrophes that happened elsewhere and events that occurred in Germany cannot be erased for thousands of years. They are constantly in the news. Nothing can be erased from history. Gulen's activities are an enterprise to be applauded. Let me add that if my ancestors had not seen that tolerance from the Ottomans and Turkey, I would not be alive.
