According to Aras and Caha , Gülen 's views on women are " progressive " . Gülen says the coming of Islam saved women , who " were absolutely not confined to their home and ... never oppressed " in the early years of the religion . He feels that extreme feminism , however , is " doomed to imbalance like all other reactionary movements " and eventually " being full of hatred towards men . " Gülen has condemned terrorism . He warns against the phenomenon of arbitrary violence and aggression against civilians and said that it " has no place in Islam " . He wrote a condemnation article in the '' Washington Post '' on September 12 , 2001 , one day after the September 11 attacks , and stated that " A Muslim can not be a terrorist , nor can a terrorist be a true Muslim . " Gülen lamented the " hijacking of Islam " by terrorists
