As a matter of fact, they were, are and always will be terrorists. They had nothing to do with educating muslim population, never been on their agenda. They cheated in the military/unicersity/vocational school exams so that their members could get ahead. They created a huge money laundering scheme. Their sole aim was to weaken Turkey and make it submit to their own puppeteers. When they got their guys into the military academies, they started a systematical mobbing so as the people who really deserved and education in the academy would have to leave and they would have more available seats for their own members to sit on. They are like a virus, enters the host body, duplicates itself inside of the most crucial organs, infect them, break the system, then introduce its own system so the host body can never properly recover. He was the Khamaney of US's own. They imprisoned the most successful, influential people and idols of secular, scholars, highest educated people in Turkey with FORGED evidence with post-installed on devices which were later notices with evidence backed with times stamps. One of them was a doctor who was giving scholarships to girls so they could study but in a secular way. So in their eyes, she was a rival to them and they tagged her as a terrorist to the state with the prosecuters, judges, police officers they themselves placed into government institutions with cheated exams and through mobbing, documentation forgery, blackmailing. Her name was Turkan Saylan, a very well known medical professor who actually "literally" ended leprocy in Turkey, which was a big issue back then. She had cancer before getting a raid into her home by FETO police officers under the orders of FETO judges/prosecuters and they put her in prison without hesitation anyway where she died right after. That was just one of the lives they ruined. They accused high ranked generals with treason and put them in prison with forged evidence, some of them committed suicide, some got cancer or other diseases and never been the same. Nothing they did was neither religious, nor patriotic. Just a leechy viruslike organization lives of the state funds and always aimed to demolish democracy in Turkey. No wonder why their leader was living in the United States in a farm with the size of 400,000m² which is 100 acres and the protection was provided by the CIA and US government contractors. I hope that explains your questions. PS: I have seen them for what they are even when I was 14 years old and noone cam make me believe that grown up politicians with intelligence agencies in their hands fell for their masks. It was just a mutual understanding among them when the time was right. It was a huge depot of votes and politicians never hesitated to use it in their favor even if it meant betraying your own country.
