This past summer I worked for an organization called Rumi Forum, which is part of the Hizmet Movement. They are a non-profit organization that works to promote cross cultural peace and alliance and follow the teachings of Fethullah Gulen.
As mentioned in our textbook by Tucker, Jalal al-Din Rumi was a Sufi poet in the 12th century who believed in respect and tolerance among all people.
To the say the least, I learned a lot while I interned there and was a main reason why I chose to take this class. I embedded links to many of the terms I just mentioned so feel free to check them out.
