The Alliance for Shared Values condemns the violent shooting that targeted two National Guard members in Washington, D.C. We grieve for the victims and stand with their families and communities as they navigate this painful time. Violence of any kind undermines the safety, dignity, and peace we strive to uphold. We reaffirm our commitment to fostering a society grounded in nonviolence, respect, and the protection of every human life.

NJ's Turkish community includes many followers of #FethullahGulen and Hizmet, his faith-based civil society movement focused on humanist values. Over years, I've written about Gulen-inspired schools & persecuted Hizmet followers who sought asylum in NJ. northjersey.com/story/news/2…

In NJ, thousands attended a funeral service for Turkish-born Muslim scholar Fethullah Gulen. His message of service, faith & understanding resonated deeply. It's a legacy his followers hope to continue after his death.

With sorrowful hearts and humble acceptance of Allah's will, we share the news of the departure of Fethullah Gülen Hocaefendi from this temporal world.
Our faith comforts us, as the Qur'an reminds us: "Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return." [Qur'an 2:156]
During this solemn time, we come together in prayer, reflection, and remembrance of his legacy, which has inspired countless individuals through education, service and dialogue. We invite everyone to join us in praying for peace and tranquility—for him and for the community. – at Saylorsburg, PA
