* Houston is also where the Gulen Institute, the multi-state branched Institute of Interfaith Dialog and Raindrop Turkish House (both Gulenist organizations) are located. It is also the home to some of the Gulen movement's most prominent non-native Turkish American supporters, namely William Martin and Helen Rose Ebaugh. In other words, the fact that Houston has a high concentration of Gulen charter schools is not a coincidence.
