[Orsborn] Gregg Popovich praised Enеs Kantеr for speaking up about human rights abusеs around the world. “I am glad that Enеs speaks up when he feels like it. I think it’s great. No reason not to.”

He can be totally 100% right about one subject, and brutally wrong on another. And we can talk about that. But saying “Oh he has this bad take, so I won’t take his opinion on China seriously” is ridiculous.

I don't care what his opinions are on other issues (like Palestine). But the fact that he's been in a cult since 2nd grade makes me skeptical of his intentions. For example, this is a quote from him:

Today i lost my mother, father, brothers and sisters, my family and all my relatives. My own father asked me to change my surname...

For Gulen’s work, which has been grown by the tears of loyal and devoted people, not one but thousands of Enes could be sacrificed. I would sacrifice my mother, father and whole family for Gulen’s sake.

I would give my head for this case. I hope my God would take from my life and give it to Gulen. I would sacrifice my heaven and i would laugh through hells for this service. My love for Gulen is more than my love to my mom, father, brothers and sisters and all other loves.

My mom and my father would be sacrifice for you, for this service, for this case. There should be no doubt for everybody...

Enes (Kanter) Gulen

He was also admittedly (physically present in Pennsylvania) with Gulen the night of his failed coup that killed 250 people.
