Adnan Oktar who is Harun Yahya

Adnan Oktar (pen name: Harun Yahya) is claimed on his web page to be a ?world renown and respected scholar? who has devoted himself to writing about scientific and faith-related subjects such as the theory of evolution and miracles of God.

He is further described by supporters as a respected ?scientist? who has publications in incredibly diverse areas of interest (actually he is not a university graduate). He speaks only Turkish. The fact is that, his publications and his foundation (Science Research Foundation) have recently been banned in Turkey, and most members of his ?sect? have been sent to court. This was not due to their Islamic and scientific activities, but due to crimes such as blackmail, extortion, possession of unlicensed weapons and sexual intercourse with minors. About three years ago, upon complaints of victims and many years of suspicion, Turkish police raided residences of this group. The discoveries at the houses and testimony of the group members were shocking. Under the mask of promoting Islam and scientific facts, the group members had been found to engage in extensive criminal activity. These crimes included blackmail, possession of unlicensed weapons and sexual intercourse with individuals under age 18. The head of the group, Adnan Oktar (recorded by police cameras, leaked and shown on Turkish TV channels such as Kanal D, ATV, Star) confessed to blackmailing people who they regarded as an obstacle to their enterprises. These people included the reporters for the newspaper Hurriyet, Emin Colasan, and Fatih Altayli, after they questioned some of Harun Yahya?s activities such as bribing the municipality of Ankara.


Just for kicks.

"blackmail, extortion, possession of unlicensed weapons and sexual intercourse with minors."

You call that a good example? He is a conman and you've been duped. And why would I go to his website for accurate information on him, he lies to make himself look better.
