The following may help to explain why Today's Zaman cannot be accepted as an ubiased, objective source of news about Turkey.

http://www.city-journal.org/2012/22_4_f ... gulen.html

The second troubling fact about the cemaat’s activities is that the Turkish media organizations associated with it are clearly pursuing an agenda at odds with the movement’s publicly stated ideals. The English version of Zaman is often significantly different from the Turkish one. Remarks about enemies of Islam, perfidious Armenians, and Mossad plots are edited out of the English version, as are other comments that sound incompatible with the message of intercultural tolerance. For example, Today’s Zaman last year published Gülen’s criticism of the government for failing to solve long-standing issues over the rights of Kurds, but omitted his ambiguous prayer: “Knock their homes upside down, destroy their unity, reduce their homes to ashes, may their homes be filled with weeping and supplications, burn and cut off their roots, and bring their affairs to an end.” Gülen’s supporters will insist that he was referring only to the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, which the United States quite properly considers a terrorist group. But many ethnically Kurdish citizens of Turkey heard this as a call for genocide and were terrified by it.

There is a third case going through the courts of Turkey where the campaigner for women's right and safety, Canan Arın, is facing similar charges of insulting Islam and more to the point of insulting the Turkish President, Abdullah Gul, for allegedly marrying a 15-year old.

A case reported on today in Hurriyet by journo Burak Bekdil...

..." the lawyer and women’s rights activist Canan Arın was awaiting trial which could put her in jail for five years because, in a conference speech on “child brides,” she had criticized the Prophet Muhammad for marrying, according to some accounts, a 9-year-old, and President Abdullah Gül, for marrying, according to official accounts, a 15-year-old. Mrs. Arın has been prosecuted for “denigrating the values embraced by all or a part of the society,” and for “insulting the president....”
