TIME recognized Gulen for "preaching a message of tolerance that has won him admirers around the world."

Dear guests, esteemed organizers, academics, thinkers, and honorable government authorities of Senegal,
I have gratefully received your kind invitation to the conference titled "Diversity & Cohesion in a Globalized World: Contributions of the Gülen Movement." It is with deep sorrow that I am unable to join you due to my unfavorable health conditions.
Diversity is no doubt a reality of human life, as it is an auspicious and bountiful manifestation of Divine will in the universe. Our encounter with this reality has never been as intimate as it is now, as time and space have shrunk to make us neighbors. Yet, while on the one hand we are being drawn closer to one another, on the other hand, challenges are growing far and wide, with consequences transcending political, historical, and cultural borders. This is where the main theme of your conference, i.e., cohesion, comes into play as an indispensable solution for our pandemic problems of violence, wars, prejudice, lack of character, misguided education, and weakening spirit of neighborliness.
Whenever I commemorate You, all else fades from my mind, Your phantasm treads on the hills of my mind; Although a mirage, it assuages my affliction, Whenever I commemorate You, all else fades from my mind.
