| Exiled Islamic Imam Muhammed Fethullah Gulen Why are taxpayers funding Islamic school in Cincinnati? · December 15th, 2010 8:50 pm ET · By Mark Hallenberg, Cincinnati Islam Examiner Looking at the Horizon Science Academy website one is impressed with its presentation. A parent would appreciate the emphasis on science and mathematics, and might see HSA as an excellent option to the fumbling public school system for their child. However, the FBI and taxpayers are unimpressed. The school is part of a vast network of schools and Madrasas inspired and founded by Muhammed Fethullah Gülen, who believes in a 'new world order' - an Islamic New World Order. His schools are worldwide with a growing number in the United States. In 2007 the IRS Form 990 for the Cosmos Foundation, a Gulen Movement charter school operator in TX, TN, and OK, received $41,570,721 from taxpayers. Russia and Uzbekistan banned his schools, The Netherlands claims they're a front for an Islamic fundamentalist group. Paul L. Williams, Ph.D. writes, "By alleged “stealth jihad,” the Gulen Movement, an Islamic-based movement out of Turkey, has been advancing its presence and influence throughout the country by the establishment of charter schools that are funded by U.S. taxpayers." At the Gulen schools, students are indoctrinated in Turkish culture, language, and religion so that they may be of service in making Fethullah Gulan’s dream of a universal caliphate a reality. The Madrasas sponsor Turkish clubs, Turkish language societies, Turkish dance groups, and annual trips to Istanbul. Rachel Sharon-Krespin writes: “His (Gulen’s) followers target youth in the eighth through twelfth grades, mentor and indoctrinate them in the ışıkevi, educate them in the Fethullah schools, and prepare them for future careers in legal, political, and educational professions in order to create the ruling classes of the future Islamist, Turkish state.” Turkish translator Sibel Edmonds testified under oath August 8, 2009 when asked if Gulen should be considered a threat to the security of the United States, her answer, "One hundred percent, absolutely." In another summary she states, 'Here is a Turkish Muslim preacher who fled Turkey after his alleged intentions to replace the secular government with one based on Sharia laws were exposed. He comes to the US, settles here, and starts taking advantage of our vastly and overly used nonprofit laws to build his network of dubious NGOs. Meanwhile he continues to expand his network of Madrasas and related businesses overseas-Central Asia, Caucasus, Balkans, etc. At present, there are over 85 Gulan madrasas (Islamic schools) in the United States, and all operate with public funding. Horizon Schools is operated by Concept Schools of Des Plains, IL. Both a part of the Gulen Movement in the U.S. Related sources - Charter School Watchdog, Charter School Scandals |

"Concept Schools" runs 25 schools in five different states, serving 7,000 students. In Columbus, the schools are known as Horizon Science Academies. Horizon's High School is ranked Excellent on its latest state report card. Horizon Middle School is rated in Continuous Improvement and Horizon Elementary is in Academic Watch.
Two NBC 4 viewers contacted the station, asking us to look into allegations that Ohio taxpayer money was being used to recruit teachers overseas, specifically Turkey.
The Ohio Federation of Teachers showed NBC 4 a lease for a Horizon School in Dayton, whose landlord has a Turkish mailing address. The President of the Ohio Federation of Teachers wants to know if the rent money is actually going to Turkey. She also wants to know why Turkish teachers are employed by Horizon.
"At a time of high unemployment in Ohio, when teachers have been laid off, teachers coming out of college can't find jobs. Why would we be importing teachers and administrators from Turkey when Ohioans don't have jobs?" questioned Sue Taylor, President of the Ohio Federation of Teachers.
The Ohio Coalition for Quality Education doesn't think there should be restrictions on where teachers come from or where public charter schools are located. "They do recruit some of their teachers from Turkey because they have, frankly, high quality teachers in Math and Science in Turkey," said Ron Adler, President and Founder.
About 10% of teachers who work for Concept Schools are international. The Vice President says taxpayer money is not used to recruit teachers overseas. "That does not make it a Turkish school, nor an Islamic school. These are public schools serving students who need those services the most," said Salim Ucan. He said Concept Schools are some of the highest-performing schools in the country.
"I've monitored and provided technical assistance to Concept Schools since 1998 and I can say without hesitation that these schools are of the highest quality, hardworking, and they achieve wonderful results with their students. They are an exceptionally good investment of our public dollars," said Patricia Hughes, Director of the Community School division for Buckeye Hope Foundation, one of Horizon's sponsors in Ohio.
Concept Schools is based in Chicago. The Ohio Attorney General's Office has no record of complaints against the company or Horizon Science Academies.
