As he mentioned you might want to read more on this here at our blog:<BR/><BR/>http://creationistsbanatheism.blogspot.com/<BR/><BR/>Currently we are trying to get hold to the court order we've never received! Several global organisations want to know more about details.<BR/><BR/>One of our members created blogs about Harun Yahya's pseudo science and his blogs contained strictly scientific critics of Harun Yahya's creationist claims. No one would be able to find anything on his blogs that even resembles an insult. And he didn't have any forums. But they had his blogs blocked as well.<BR/><BR/>What happened with wordpress.com also proves that these bans don't have anything to do with the language used to criticise him. Think about it. Only a few blogs among thousands target a certain indivudual and they are not personal attacks, but mostly scientific evaluations of their creationism. But they found a way to get a Turkish court to reach a decision to close the whole domain. This shows the extent of their power and influence in Turkish Justice system and the Turkish government. (Actually, Harun Yahya himself, whose real name is "Adnan Oktar" publicly claimed that he has hundreds of his associates placed in the government. According to our friend who lives in Turkey, he actually admitted this on TV. <BR/><BR/>Same thing applies to our web site. Even if we separated the web site and the forums, we are almost certain that they would find a way to have it blocked. It is quite possible that the judge who signs these orders could also be his follower. (Harun Yahya is not only a creationist, but also a religious cult leader).<BR/><BR/>Their claim regarding slanderous remarks is just an excuse. They are not happy with the fact that they are being debunked scientifically.Evrim Olgusuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16251956332727109929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761391.post-3296762134028624352008-01-20T00:39:00.000+11:002008-01-20T00:39:00.000+11:00If Kemal Attaturk was alive.

I believe there are still a few generals who still do this......Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12256953909644408214noreply@blogger.com
