It is worth noting that Gülen-inspired schools are the largest charter network in the U.S. and receive approximately $150 million a year in taxpayer money. There are about 130 of these charter schools in 26 states where the majority of the teachers are from Turkey, as well as many of the contracts for construction and operation have gone to Turkish businesses. Those actions have raised red flags for the U.S. government. source

NATO ally Turkey has blacklisted Fethullah Gulen, an influential cleric who is in self-imposed exile in Pennsylvania, US, including him in a list of most-wanted terrorists, along with leaders of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and the Islamic State (Isis).source

And now, Erdoğan calls on Obama to extradite ‘terrorist’ Fethullah Gülen to Turkey for trial – video source

It is OK though,he is a good guy because in 2001 he said: "I would like to stress that any terrorist activity, no matter who does it and for what purpose, is the greatest blow to peace, democracy, humanity, and all religious values. For this reason, no one—and certainly no Muslims – can approve of any terrorist activity. Terror has no place in one’s quest to achieve independence or salvation. It costs the lives of innocent people." source

There is indeed a Turkey here. Per quroa, more people have died in the name of religion than for other causes.
