Nurcu
According to me it should be left as Nurcu.
PROOF:
The Nurcu movement founded by Said Nursi (1873-1960) is probably one of the most important religious organizations in Turkey.

The Nurcu movement has a special place within the Nakşibendi branch of Sunni, the biggest sect of Islam.

Nurist
Why avoid using "ist" as in "Kemalist" "Maoist" "Marxist" "Darwinist"
an immediate example of this pattern is "Malcolmist" if you take it in terms of followers ( most followers are denominated with "ist"
here are some examples refering to the term "Nurist"
