Does the movement inspired by Fethullah Gülen represent a modern brand of Islam, or a subtle attempt to infiltrate religion into secular Turkey? The Guardian's religious affairs correspondent, Riazat Butt, reports from Istanbul

Coming from the melting pot of East and West this month's Islamophonic is brought to you from Turkey - a country that claims to be 99% Muslim and 100% secular. We take a look at the Gulen movement, a loose coalition of public institutions and media organisations inspired by the charismatic preacher Fetullah Gulen. We visit one of the many fee-paying Gulen schools and talks to teachers, pupils and parents about the role of religion in education. Plus we talk to Ozcjan Keles from the Dialogue society and Mustafa Akyola Turkish commentator, about the message of the Gulen movement which often steers away from the specifics of Islam. Plus, this being Turkey, we take a look at headscarves. What's available and what's in fashion this summer?
