In episode 4 of the documentary series about Fethullah Gulen, we travel west to investigate the links between the exiled Turkish educator, American secret services and the expansion of his network in the United States. In 1999, Ankara’s chief public prosecutor issued an arrest warrant for Gulen, because his activities were seen as a 'threat to the foundations of a secular state'. Facing ten years in prison, the preacher defected to the US. Supported by CIA operatives, his application for a Green Card, the permanent residence permit, was ultimately successful. Gulen settled down in Saylorsburg, Pennsylvania.
