Medienkrieg über Gülen-Studie

Wegen der von mir gestern auseinandergenommenen “Studie” über Fethullah Gülen tobt in den USA ein heftiger Medienkrieg. Die Gegner, wie die “Cumhuriyet” schießen sich erneut auf ihn ein, während Gülen-nahe Medien versuchen sie abzutun:

The MEQ in the US is a low-circulation journal of semi-academic quality, led by some right-wing Jewish writers. It usually aims to push its agenda into academic and political circles. It is not seen as an objective and reliable source in US academia. Those who do respect the journal in Washington are usually on the line of the Israeli and American conservative right and the neocons.

Damit, dass Gülen im selben Organ mal gelobt wurde, geht man aber immer noch hausieren. Wenn man Leute wie Sharon-Krespin für sich schreiben lässt, braucht man sich allerdings nicht wundern, wenn einem dies um die Ohren gehauen wird:

Rachel Sharon-Krespin, the author of the negative and one-sided story on the Gülen movement, is a Turkish Jew who lived in Israel for many years. She is not even someone who stands out in the US Jewish community, let alone foreign policy circles. A source from the Jewish lobby said they barely knew Krespin, adding that he is not aware of her having any serious expertise on Turkey. Judging by her footnotes, she usually chooses to quote newspaper articles and opinion pieces supportive of her own opinion.

Gelobt werden will man aus den USA aber auch:

It looks like these circles have never been content with the fact that Foreign Policy, one of world’s most prestigious magazines in international affairs, put Fethullah Gülen in their top 100 public intellectuals list..

Das war allerdings weniger die Zeitschrift “Foreign Policy” als die Gülen-Bewegung selbst, die ihre Anhänger aufgefordert hat, massenhaft an der betreffenden Internetumfrage teilzunehmen.
