The claim on the Wikipedia web site about members of the BAV community regarding Turkish academics is entirely fictitious. First of all, it is impossible for there to be any question of aiming to intimidate Turkish academics holding Darwinist views from expressing scientific opinions, because there is nothing scientific at all about the theory of evolution. On the contrary, science had inflicted a huge defeat on the theory of evolution. But the whole world has been under the dominion of the Darwinist dictatorship for the last 150 years. It is therefore impossible for Darwinist scientists to suffer any injustice such as being unable to express their ideas. For the last 150 years, Darwinists have attempted to prop up a false ideology, by concealing science from people and showing them false evidence and offering deceptive accounts. For that reason, no matter what means may be placed at the disposal of evolutionist academics in the future, they will still only be able to offer deception, never science. That is because Darwinism is not scientific, but the worst mass deception in the history of the world.
But in the present century, Darwinism has suffered a huge collapse in the face of the matchless works of Mr. Adnan Oktar and most recently of his Atlas of Creation. This means that Darwinism is a false ideology that can be totally and fundamentally demolished through an intellectual struggle. And Mr. Oktar has eliminated Darwinism from the world with a powerful intellectual campaign. He has shown that all of Darwinism's ridiculous claims are invalid. While Darwinists were maintaining that everything came into being by chance, Mr. Oktar proved that not even a single protein can form coincidentally. While Darwinists have for years been saying that there are millions of transitional fossils, Mr. Oktar has shown there exists not even one transitional fossil, and that all the 300 million fossils unearthed to date prove Creation. Darwinism is a theory that is easily demolished with the revelation of the facts and by way of science. The claim about Darwinist academics is therefore totally unfounded. Their ideology has already collapsed by way of the scientific facts.
It will here be useful to recall one very important fact. The person indicated as the source of these claims of threat is Asst. Prof. Umit Sayin, currently a defendant in the investigation into the alleged terror organization Ergenekon. Umit Sayin is on trial within the scope of alleged organization Ergenekon case on charges of being a member of the illegal organization and inciting an armed uprising against the government of the Republic of Turkey. He is one of Turkey's leading adherents of Darwinism and is known for articles, activities and comments targeting works by Mr. Oktar that demolish Darwinism and materialism. Among the documents that emerged within the scope of the alleged organization Ergenekon investigation from Umit Sayin's computer was a considerable amount of information for use against Mr. Oktar and the BAV. One of the noteworthy documents in the alleged organization Ergenekon case files is Umit Sayin's freemasonry document and his saying "THE MOST IMPORTANT SIGN OF HIS LOYALTY TO THE MASONIC LODGES IS HIS WORK AGAINST HARUN YAHYA (ADNAN OKTAR) AND THE SCIENCE RESEARCH FOUNDATION (BAV)." (http://www.haber5.com/ haber.php? haberid=327899)
In addition, as set out in press reports, telephone records and computer correspondence in the alleged terror organization Ergenekon case files belonging to Umit Sayin also clearly reveal that Mr. Oktar and the BAV circle were targeted.
The Claim That Turkish Academics Were Threatened and Libeled Is Entirely Fictitious
Responding to Baseless Claims Regarding Adnan Oktar on the Wikipedia Web Site
Various pieces of information about Adnan Oktar are provided, under the headings Adnan Oktar and Harun Yahya, on the Wikipedia web site, which appears in English and various other foreign languages. Some of the information about Mr. Oktar's past and activities is accurate, but there are also some totally false claims and imputations. These claims have been added to the site for biased parties to misdirect readers or as a reiteration of unfounded allegations reflected in the press as a smear campaign. So much so that untrue reports that have been exposed as false by court rulings are cited as references, untrue reports that appeared in the press on the basis of no evidence whatsoever are cited as supposed proofs, while court rulings and other facts that expose the baseless nature of these allegations are completely ignored. (You can read the acquittal rulings and decisions not to proceed taken in the BAV Case here.)
Since our numerous corrections sent to the Wikipedia pages have been ignored and court rulings have countless times disproved these groundless claims with their legal contents it is now essential that we issue statements on the subject setting out the true facts. The false nature of the claims made against Adnan Oktar on the Wikipedia web site is proved below, and statements clarifying the true state of affairs are set out for readers' consideration.
The True Facts Regarding Statements Intended to Raise Suspicions about BAV Members' Sources of Income
For years now, press organs have been publishing reports about Mr. Oktar and members of the BAV asking "where does the money they make come from?" The Financial Crimes Investigation Board (MASAK), affiliated to the Turkish Finance Ministry, has carried out detailed investigations into all the defendants in the BAV case, which has been going on since 2000, including Mr. Oktar. All the defendants' work places, bank accounts and financial records were examined individually. THREE SEPARATE OFFICIAL REPORTS issued by MASAK, OFFICIAL STATE REPORTS, DEFINITIVELY REFUTED the illegal earnings allegation. (Below are shown MASAK Report No. GKR.2000.22.173/Mut-2 dated 27 July, 2000, MASAK Report No. GKR.2000-22/11 dated 21 December, 2000, and MASAK Report No. GKR.2001-22-173/ Mut-1 dated 16 July, 2001.)
THERE IS NO QUESTION OF ANY ILLICIT EARNINGS. Mr. Oktar and the BAV members are people who fear Allah, guard the rights of the orphans and MAKE ONLY LAWFUL EARNINGS. Although it has been shown right at the beginning of the BAV case through OFFICIAL REPORTS SUBMITTED TO THE COURT that these claims made are all false, these biased reports based on no concrete evidence whatsoever still appear in newspapers, on the television and on the internet as part of the psychological warfare campaign against Mr. Oktar. However, the tens of thousands of people who read his works with great enjoyment attach no credence to these claims. Mr. Oktar is engaged in his valuable works with no expectation of material reward, solely for the good pleasure of Allah and for love of the motherland and the nation. It will be appreciated that the fact someone is engaged in such effective activity expecting no material reward documents how the claims in question are all utterly false allegations.
Responses to the Claims Regarding Mr. Adnan Oktar's Offer to Give 10 Trillion Turkish Lira to Anyone Producing a Single Transitional Fossil
This challenge to Darwinists from Mr. Oktar has been around for a long time. But although this call has been issued to Darwinists across the world many times over, not a single Darwinist scientist has ever come forward with a single transitional form fossil. The claim made by P. Z. Myers, a Darwinist biologist distressed by Mr. Oktar's activities in general and his Atlas of Creation that demolished evolution in particular, to the effect that such fossils are to be found in the Smithsonian Museum and the American Museum of Natural History, the largest Darwinist museums in the world, is an utterly feeble one. That is because various members of the BAV community have visited the museums in question and asked museum officials to be shown a transitional form fossil. The officials put them off, answering that THERE WERE NO TRANSITIONAL FOSSILS IN THE MAIN DISPLAY but that they were kept in the storage rooms down below. The members of the BAV community then asked to be shown the transitional fossils in the storage sections, at which the officials said THE STORAGE AREA WAS LOCKED AND SO THEY COULD NOT SHOW THEM THE TRANSITIONAL FOSSILS.
The ruse being played here is a facile one that would not even deceive a child. The real reason why the officials were unable to show any transitional fossils is that NOT A SINGLE TRANSITIONAL FORM FOSSIL EXISTS IN REALITY. The number of fossils unearthed to date has now reached 300 million, and the fact that not one of these fossils is a transitional form terrifies Darwinists. All these 300 million fossils belong to perfect and fully formed beings, with an extraordinary symmetry. There is no doubt that P. Z. Myers and all Darwinists who maintain that hundreds of transitional forms exist are well aware of the deadly blow the fossil record had dealt to Darwinism. Since standing up and confessing this terrifies them, and since they cannot admit their desperate position, the only thing they can do is to try and retrieve the situation with deceptive but ultimately empty counter attacks. But it is no longer possible for them to do this in the 21st century, in which the collapse of Darwinism is announced.
Mr. Adnan Oktar's Opinions Regarding the Violence of the Holocaust and Statements Concerning the Claims about the Book The Holocaust Lie
The book The Holocaust Lie was not written by Mr. Oktar. It was written by someone called Nuri Ozbudak and published without Mr. Oktar's permission. A protest was issued by Mr. Oktar in a notarized document and announced to the public. The original document is set out for readers' attention below. Mr. Oktar's book The Holocaust Violence in which his own ideas are set out was published subsequently.
In The Holocaust Violence Mr. Oktar states that the Nazis perpetrated one of the worst genocides in history and committed mass slaughter. He describes how Hitler's followers committed a terrible massacre especially of devout Jews, as well as the scale of this. He states that this was the product of a Darwinist, fascist mindset, and that the most evident implementation of the ruthless and cruel thinking, the essence of Darwinism, came in the Second World War. The Holocaust Violence, which contains Mr. Oktar's true ideas is therefore a rare and very important work that proves the terrible genocide perpetrated against genuine Jews.
Mr. Oktar constantly reiterates his love and affection for worthy Jews, descended from the Prophet Abraham (pbuh), in his works and interviews. He set these views out in an interview for Der Spiegel magazine on 14 September, 2008:
ADNAN OKTAR: The book, The Holocaust Lie, is by one of my friends, Nuri Ozbudak. It is not one of my books. He published his own essays under that title. Later we protested against this through the Public Notary and declared the fact to the public. This was the subject of a protest. I did not take any other legal action, but only protested through the Public Notary. I sent the protest from the Public Notary Office because he used my name but published it under his own name. My book expressing my own ideas was published later.
INTERVIEWER: So you never denied the Holocaust?
ADNAN OKTAR: The Nazis not only massacred Jews, but a great many other people as well. They committed a great mass murder. But they also mercilessly killed devout Jews. This is surely the atrocious work of Darwinist fascists. This is a fact. I have provided a detailed account of it [in my book The Holocaust Violence]. Jews are the descendents of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh), they are the descendents of the prophets. They are valuable people. I love Jews very much. That is to say, the Prophets Isaac, Jacob, Ishmael, Joseph and Solomon (peace be upon them all); they are all prophets and they all come from this particular line of descent. Accordingly those who attempt to annihilate the Jewish line of descent also annihilate that of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh). It is unimaginable for a Muslim to remain silent in the face of an action intended to annihilate the line of descent of a prophet. He will surely take action. I have also taken a strong action in this regard; I emphatically reject the present pressure on the Jews, the attempts to annihilate them, the acts of all sorts intended to remove them from their country and oppose them.
The Delusion that Harun Yahya’s scientific claims are met with lampoon in the West
New Humanist seems to be in trouble probably due to the extraordinary, real and scientific evidence submitted by Mr. Adnan Oktar to Darwinism. Indeed, due to this trouble the magazine made a very interesting comment and claimed that Mr. Oktar’s claims are met with lampoon in the West. Yet the editorial board in question very well knows that Mr. Oktar provides precise and concrete evidence against Darwinism which is a theory that thoroughly lacks any evidence. Indeed for this very reason he is the one Creationist author whose views are most respected all around the world. Readers worldwide enjoy his books which are also downloaded in ample amounts on the Internet.
European Darwinist publications, France being the foremost, consider Mr. Oktar’s works as a great threat against the theory of evolution and comment on the impact of Atlas of Creation upon Europe with expressions of despair. (For detailed information please see: http://darwinistpanicinfrance.com/index.php) This is no doubt the reason why Atlas of Creation was banned from the curriculum by the European Council. Aware of the profound effect of Atlas of Creation upon pupils, Darwinist centers strove to hinder the access of this precious work into schools. Consequently the situation is far more different from how it is depicted by New Humanist. The major reason of the Darwinist panic taking place in the world today is the works of Mr. Oktar which have great worldwide impact. New Humanist is totally aware of it.
The Sinister Plans of the Alleged Terror Organization Ergenekon Aimed at Mr. Adnan Oktar Are Very Striking
The securing of various MSN text messages, telephone conversations and other records in the context of the still ongoing alleged terror organization Ergenekon case has revealed some very significant facts. It has emerged from the records in question that Mr. Oktar and his colleagues are at the top of the list of the groups to be combated. It was then learned that a great many of those mentioned with regard to the investigation into Mr. Oktar and members of the BAV community have either been arrested or are facing charges of membership of the alleged terror organization Ergenekon. Some of these individuals are:
Adil Serdar Sacan, former Chief of Istanbul Anti-Organized Crime Department, who ran the police operation against the BAV community in 1999 and is now on trial, together with his team, on separate charges of torturing members of the BAV community (Forensic Medicine Reports are attached herewith), the defendants all facing prison sentences of 216 years each, has also been detained on charges of links to the alleged organization Ergenekon and has been held on remand in prison for a long time. He is still a defendant on these same charges.
Tuncay Ozkan, a figure who initiated an unbelievable lynch campaign in the press against the BAV community, is also currently in prison over links to the alleged terror organization Ergenekon. Tuncay Ozkan obtained, by illegal means, documents such as statements not written by the detainees but the detainees were forced to sign while at the Security Department, search warrants and various other legal documents that should all be under legal protection and published them, again illegally.
The documents obtained within the scope of the alleged terror organization Ergenekon investigation about activities targeting the BAV community were by no means limited to these. It emerged from other documents in the case file that Emin Sirin, former independent member of Parliament for Istanbul, currently facing trial on charges of being responsible for lobbying on behalf of the alleged terror organization Ergenekon, was also engaged in intensive activities against the BAV community.
As we have already set out in considerable detail, Umit Sayin, known for his activities against the BAV community and who can be seen to have referred to plans against the BAV community in the documents captured in the context of the investigation into the alleged organization Ergenekon, also spent time in prison on the case and is still a defendant in it.
It was seen from these and other documents captured during the investigation into the alleged organization Ergenekon that there has been a deliberate policy of intimidation against Mr. Oktar for many years now. This state of affairs makes it very likely that there is a connection between the constant plots against Mr. Oktar and this alleged organization.
However, the fact is that true and worthy Muslims who live for His good pleasure will always be under the protection of Almighty Allah. By His leave and with His assistance, the works of Mr. Oktar have today spread right across the world, despite all these plots and policies of intimidation, and people have embarked on a great and powerful intellectual struggle against atheism, Darwinism and materialism. This success will grow still further and, by Allah's leave, people's feelings of faith will grow with every passing day.
The Groundless Nature of the Allegations of a "Supposed Criminal Enterprise" Made against Adnan Oktar:
The Wikipedia web site also carried various false statements about the court ruling and guilty verdict issued against Adnan Oktar and a number of members of the BAV (SRF [Science Research Foundation]) circle, but an important fact was totally ignored: The guilty verdict handed down by the court was OVERTURNED by the Supreme Court of Appeals on 28.12.2009 because of the legal errors it contained.
The guilty verdict and 3-year sentence handed down in 2008 to Adnan Oktar and various members of the BAV community was actually appealed to by the prosecutor, on the grounds of totally improper practice and statements taken and signed at the Security Directorate under duress and in the absence of a lawyer, and which were therefore legally inadmissible. The prosecutor also stated there had been various errors of law and practice committed. He TWICE REQUESTED ACQUITTAL during the court proceedings on the grounds that THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE AGAINST THE DEFENDANTS AND OF THE PROCEDURAL ERRORS COMMITTED BY THE COURT. He also APPEALED AGAINST THE SENTENCE following the ruling. We have complete respect for the court, but this state of affairs showed that the ruling should again be considered by the judicial authorities. Indeed, the Supreme Court of Appeals took this up straight away and OVERTURNED the ruling, citing 5 separate legal violations. (You can find detailed information on the subject here, here and here.)

The verdict to ban Dawkins' site
The claim regarding the caddisfly: Dawkins highlighted the photograph of caddisfly in Adnan Oktar’s opus, Atlas of Creation as a great discovery. However this is the photograph of a model particularly put by the author in the book. Whether the photograph is of a model or not does not change the fact that this living being is still alive in our day. Desperate, speechless and bored in the face of the extraordinary evidences of Creation in the Atlas of Creation that invalidate evolution, Dawkins takes every opportunity to express this photograph of a model particularly put by the author in his book as a great discovery. By this attitude Dawkins, in fact, reveals the pathetic situation in which Darwinism finds itself. Caddisfly lives in our time with the same appearance its millions of years old fossil has. That is, it has not undergone any change. That is why Dawkins feels offended. You can read detailed information here:
The claim regarding the ban on Dawkins' Internet site:
Judicial authorities’ decision to ban Dawkins’ site is not related to the personal claims Dawkins expressed in his site. It is evident that Dawkins expressed these claims in a spirit of panic, out of the pitiful situation resulting from the collapse of Darwinism. The official verdict of the ban taken by the Court is due to the libelous comments made against the author. Mr. Adnan Oktar’s attorneys warned the administrators of the site about these comments, but because these warnings were not taken into consideration and the necessary precautions were not taken, there existed no way other than litigating. In the face of libelous words, Turkish courts found the demand justified and banned the site. Consequently the verdict of the ban of Dawkins’ site is an official one given by the judges in the face of explicit evidence. Surely nobody has the right to insult any other person by any means. The verdict in question is an extremely important and necessary decision that protects the rights of all people and is taken for this purpose.
The Baseless Nature of the Sexual Allegations Made against Adnan Oktar and His Friends
The sexual allegations made against Adnan Oktar and the BAV circle have always been an indication of the deep unease that atheist, Darwinist and materialist circles feel in the face of his scholarly activity. Whenever these people suffer an intellectual defeat they resort to allegations of a sexual nature, to which the public are most sensitive. And since it is Adnan Oktar who wages the most powerful intellectual struggle in the world against atheists and Darwinists, these circles have not hesitated to launch repulsive slanders against him.
In order for the claim in question about Adnan Oktar and the BAV circle to be accepted, there would first have to be a plaintiff, aggrieved party or witness. But there exists not a single witness, plaintiff or aggrieved party to confirm this false allegation. Eight years later, however, and as part of a psychological warfare campaign, a fictitious scenario about "little girls" was added to the accusations against the BAV. The fact is that no such claim existed in either the security department statements or the court file. Nor was there any plaintiff making such a claim. Indeed, NONE OF THE LADIES WHO MADE STATEMENTS AT THE SECURITY DEPARTMENT WAS YOUNGER THAN 18. The ladies in questions were forced to sign statements under threat, pressure and duress. These people all then declared, before the court, that they had not been damnified by Adnan Oktar and the members of the BAV in any way.
Moreover, claims regarding hidden cameras and secret records on the Wikipedia web pages have also been legally proved to have nothing to do with reality. In 1999, 45 homes were raided simultaneously at 03:00 in a move against the BAV. The homes were searched until the morning. But NOT A SINGLE SECRET RECORD or any other violation of the law WAS ENCOUNTERED. The imputation that appeared, illegally, in the press were part of a smear campaign against the BAV community. Some newspapers reported that "hidden cameras" had been seized in the early days of the police operation, but it subsequently transpired that these were lies. The objects described as hidden cameras were ordinary security cameras of the kind found in the gardens of many detached properties or at the doors of workplaces.
Electrical devices found in any home (dimmer switches, spotlight bulb holders, disk players and satellite antennae components) were confiscated from members' homes and displayed to the press as if they were espionage equipment. The fact is however, that the equipment recorded as a "disk wiping device" and displayed as a crime tool was in fact an ordinary "floppy drive" sold together with many laptops at the time. The commercial film tapes, magazines and CDs taken from BAV members' homes were used as psychological warfare propaganda tools and described to the public as blackmail equipment. But these were just documentary and music tapes and CDs of the kind found by the dozens in ordinary citizens' homes.
The court possessed not a single piece of evidence to support the claims in question. The reasoned opinion in favor of acquittal issued twice by the prosecutor was based on the fact that THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE PIECE OF EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THESE or any other accusation, and the prosecutor makes this clear in these opinions. The verdicts of acquittal and dismissal of proceedings given by the Courts and public prosecutors totally disprove this claim.
These claims, which are in the court file BUT ARE UNSUPPORTED BY A SINGLE PIECE OF CONCRETE EVIDENCE, are based on the testimonies signed under duress and torture by all BAV members tried and taken under custody as a result of the plots hatched by the alleged Ergenekon terror organization in 1999. (There are 18 Forensic Medicine reports to the effect that members of the BAV were tortured in detention. Security officials of the time are still on trial for torture, with prosecutors demanding sentences of 216 years for each.) According to the law, police testimonies signed under torture and in the absence of advocates are utterly invalid. However, the penalty imposed on the BAV case was based on these invalid testimonies taken by police.

Statements Regarding the Decision to Ban Richard Dawkins' Web Site and Dawkins' Claims about the Atlas of Creation:
Judicial authorities' decision to ban Richard Dawkins' site (to ban access to the website from Turkey) is not related to the personal claims Dawkins expressed in his site. It is evident that Dawkins expressed these claims in a spirit of panic, out of the pitiful situation resulting from the collapse of Darwinism. The official verdict taken by the Court to ban Richard Dawkins' site is due to the libelous comments made against the author. Mr. Adnan Oktar's attorneys warned the administrators of the site about these comments, but because these warnings were not taken into consideration and the necessary precautions were not taken, there existed no way other than litigating. In the face of libelous words, Turkish courts found the demand justified and banned access to the site. Consequently the verdict of the ban of Dawkins' site is an official one given by the judges in the face of explicit evidence. Surely nobody has the right to insult any other person by any means. The verdict in question is an extremely important and necessary decision that protects the rights of all people and is taken for this purpose.
Dawkins' article about Adnan Oktar and the author's valuable Atlas of Creation was not written because of this closure ruling, as claimed on Wikipedia. The piece stemmed from Dawkins' concern over the Atlas of Creation, which rocked the world and caused huge masses of people to abandon belief in Darwinism. The claims made by Dawkins in the piece are not a scientific response, but merely childish and ludicrous claims that merely discredit himself. In particular, it is evident that he expressed his claims regarding the caddisfly in a spirit of terrible panic, out of the pitiful situation resulting from the collapse of Darwinism. Dawkins highlighted the photograph of caddisfly in Mr. Adnan Oktar's opus, Atlas of Creation as a great discovery. However this is the photograph of a model particularly put in the book. Whether the photograph is of a model or not does not change the fact that this living being is still alive in our day.

That is, it has not undergone any change. That is why Dawkins feels offended. You can read detailed information here.
Statements Regarding the Groundless Nature of the Claim That Some Families Were Threatened and Forced to Retract Their Complaints
The Wikipedia web site contains various untrue pieces of information based on reports taken from various Darwinist and left-wing publications. One of these is the claim that certain families that retracted their complaints stating that they had been forced, in the first place, to issue these complaints about the BAV community did so as a result of pressure and threats from that community.
The families in question were called to the Security Department when members of the BAV community were detained en masse by Adil Serdar Sacan, director of the Anti-Organized Crime Department of the time who is now on trial within the scope of the alleged Ergenekon terror organization case, and forced to sign the documents placed in front of them under the threat of "If you do not complain about Adnan Oktar you will never see your child again." Later on, the people in question renounced their complaints, stating in petitions presented to the Prosecutor's Office that the complaints were groundless. They later repeated this orally in court, in the PERSONAL PRESENCE OF THE JUDGE. In the same statements these people many times stated, both orally and in writing, that no pressure or threats was being employed against them. The renouncements in question have been put on record.
This is a very important point: In order for there to be a claim that the complaints were retracted under pressure, there also has to be a complaint on the subject or a damnification thereof. The fact is that THERE IS NOT A SINGLE PIECE OF EVIDENCE, A SINGLE INJURED PARTY OR A SINGLE PLAINTIFF regarding this claim. It is unclear on what basis such a claim appears on the Wikipedia web site.
Another point worthy of consideration regarding the claim that the complainants retracted their complaints under duress and pressure is that Mehmet Agar and Celal Adan were among those people who had first complained and subsequently retracted those complaints. It is very odd that such an imputation be made regarding these people. Mr. Mehmet Agar spent years fighting terror, mafia and criminal organizations, personally leading operations and taking part in shoot-outs. He served as Director General of Security and as Interior Minister of Turkey. Celal Adan spent years as a party administrator and member of Parliament. The idea that the BAV community pressurized and threatened such people is nothing more than suggesting that these people changed their statements out of a fear of a few young university graduates with spotless records. If anyone had any evidence of this, a complaint should have been made to the Prosecutor's Office and proceedings brought. In addition, in such an event, the people in question would also have pressed complaints. It is clear that such a state of affairs is unrealistic. Mr. Mehmet Agar and Mr. Celal Adan retracted their complaints in the presence of the judge. It is therefore a grave mistake for such a claim to appear on the Wikipedia web site as if it were true fact, and the issue needs to be resolved as a matter of urgency.
It also needs to be stated here that the only name put forward in connection with the claims of threats made by members of the BAV community is that of Fatih Altayli. But it has also been established through various court rulings that Fatih Altayli's claims regarding the BAV community are groundless, and all these claims have been expunged.
The Kartal 2nd Court of First Instance that heard the case in the light of Fatih Altayli's complaint concerning the BAV administrators established that the written threats addressed to Altayli had nothing to do with the BAV and issued an ACQUITTAL RULING, No. 1996/381 E. 1998/508 K dated 12.06.1998, regarding the foundation managers. The ruling has also been confirmed by the 4th Chamber of Supreme Court of Appeals.
Fatih Altayli also sued the BAV managers and members for libel at the Istanbul 6th Court of First Instance. That court received reports from a 3-member team of experts regarding the writings in question. The team of experts whose opinions were canvassed by the court determined, as a result of their inquiries, that these writings were completely unconnected to the BAV community. In the expert witness report, dated 28.01.2002 and given to the Istanbul 6th Court of First Instance by Prof. Dr. Kemal Yavuz, Prof. Dr. Mustafa Ozkan and Asst. Prof. Dr. Fatih Andi, Fatih Altayli's claims were explicitly described as groundless.
In addition to all this, contrary to what is maintained on the State Security Court (DGM) Considered Legal Opinion, Fatih Altayli told the Istanbul No. 1 DGM that members of the BAV community made no threats against him and there was no question of any material gain. In answer to questions on the subject from the president of the Istanbul No. 1 DGM, Fatih Altayli replied THERE WAS NO THREAT OR FINANCIAL INTEREST, AND I WAS SUBJECTED TO NO THREATS." Anyone interested in examining the relevant evidence should visit this address.
The claims in question have been definitively invalidated by judicial rulings. The groundless nature of the claim regarding threats being made by the BAV community has been established by judicial rulings, and all these claims are completely untrue.
Statements Regarding the Closure Rulings against Various Web Sites in Turkey and Overseas:
The works of Adnan Oktar are very valuable ones that have been instrumental in millions of people across the world seeing the truth and coming to believe. But since they fundamentally undermine atheist, Darwinist and materialist philosophy, these works have always attracted the attention of specific forces. And since these forces realized they were unable to overcome these works by way of science, knowledge, scholarship or evidence they attempted to silence them through baseless accusations, false allegations and defamation. It is this defeat and failure that lie at the root of the plots, groundless accusations and psychological warfare waged by certain sections of the press against Adnan Oktar for many years now.
These circles have now set about directing the same feeble efforts aimed at Adnan Oktar by way of various reports raised on certain web sites in Turkey and abroad and have resorted to defamatory comments in articles and writings published on those sites. Having realized that they cannot neutralize the works of Adnan Oktar using scientific and scholarly evidence, they have resorted to defamation as the only possible solution.
It needs to be specifically made clear that people have a right to freely express their ideas and to enjoy freedom of thought. Nobody has to agree with anyone else's ideas, and has no right to impose his own ideas on others. Everyone has the right to criticize everyone else, within intellectual and moral boundaries. But nobody has the right to "insult" anyone else. It is of the greatest importance for everyone that this right be preserved; but defamation is a criminal offense and character rights are under legal protection. No civilized community recognizes the freedom to defame others.
The sites that were ordered to be banned were those that carried various defamatory statements in articles about Adnan Oktar or in their readers' comments sections. Warnings were issued by way of lawyers to the administrators of the sites in question time and time again, and legal requests were made that the defamatory expressions on the sites be removed, but the site administrators ignored these. In the light of this, legal measures were requisite. The judicial body concerned found the complaints justified and ruled that the sites in question be banned for a specific period because of these writings that breached the human rights. The ruling confirms the necessity for and appropriate nature of these measures.

The 19-Month Period of Imprisonment and Detention in a Mental Hospital Is the Result of the First Smear Campaign Intended to Halt Mr. Adnan Oktar's Activities
In the summer of 1986, Mr. Oktar was arrested, with no rightful legal ground whatsoever, for having stated, "I am a member of the Turkish People, and of the Nation of Abraham," in an interview carried by a newspaper. Again under the influence of the circles mentioned above, deceitful reports, groundless information and slanders about him began appearing in various publications of Darwinist origin.
Mr. Oktar was first arrested and imprisoned. He was confined in a one-man cell for nine months. He was then chained by the foot to a bed in the Forensic Medicine Department for 40 days. He was then transferred to the Bakirkoy Mental Hospital on the grounds of being mentally unhealthy and placed under observation in ward 14A, poorly maintained, filthy, and used to house the most dangerous inmates. Ward 14A, which housed 300 mental patients, was in a stone building left over from the reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid and could be entered only by passing through a number of locked iron doors, since killings among patients were viewed as nothing out of the ordinary. During Mr. Oktar's time there, seven murders were committed. In addition, he was forcibly given drugs blurring consciousness. Those who managed to visit him witnessed that he had lost none of his determination and enthusiasm at this time. Postgraduate students, nurses and even doctors were prohibited from seeing him, out of concerns that he would turn them to Islamic moral values. Shortly afterwards, his relatives and friends were also banned from visiting him, and even telephone calls were forbidden. He was threatened with spending the rest of his life in the hospital unless he abandoned his intellectual activities. Intense pressure began to be applied by certain circles in order for him to put an end to his activities against Darwinism and freemasonry and to abandon his books. Proposals to the effect that if he put an end to them he could immediately be released from hospital and spend the rest of his life in comfort. But he rejected all these offers, refusing to bow to the threats and pressure that only enhanced his determination.
After Mr. Oktar had been detained for 19 months, the Prosecutor's Office determined there was "no offence in the statements uttered." He was declared innocent and released.
The report issued by the Gulhane Military Medical Academy (GATA) confirming Mr. Oktar's SANITY, however, was never once mentioned by the press exclusively owned by Darwinists. After being depicted as mentally ill for 20 years, a Military Hospital report confirmed that he was completely sane.
The Groundless Nature of the Claims on Wikipedia Regarding Mr. Adnan Oktar's Views Concerning Zionism and the Jews
The behavior advised to all Muslims in the Qur'an involves treating the People of the Book with love, respect, affection and compassion, protecting and watching over them and meeting their needs in the finest manner. As a Muslim who sincerely abides by the Qur'an, Mr. Oktar feels the love toward Christians and Jews that is commanded in the Qur'an, watches over and protects them, wants them to live by their faiths in peace and security and strives for that end. Indeed, he frequently expresses this in his writings and interviews. This can clearly be seen from the way that the Sanhedrin rabbis and Israeli government officials he recently hosted described the feelings of friendship and closeness they received from Mr. Oktar.

The logic and intellectual system that Mr. Oktar has been criticizing for years is that of the atheist Zionists. It is of course unthinkable to ascribe this mindset to truly devout Jews.
There are two varieties of Zionism today. The first of these is the Zionist conception of the devout Jewish people, who wish to live in peace and security in Israel alongside Muslims, seeking peace and wishing to worship in the lands of their forefathers and engage in business. In that sense, Muslims support Zionism. We would fully back the devout Jewish people living in peace and security in their own lands, remembering Allah, worshipping in their synagogues and engaging in science and trade in their own land.
The Zionist belief held by a devout Jew and based on the Torah does not in any way conflict with the Qur'an. The Jews' living in that region is indicated in the Qur'an, in which it is revealed that Allah has settled the Children of Israel on it:
Remember when Moses said to his people, "My people! Remember Allah's blessing to you when He appointed prophets among you and appointed kings for you, and gave you what He had not given to anyone else in all the worlds! My people! Enter the Holy Land which Allah has ordained for you. Do not turn back in your tracks and so become transformed into losers." (Surat al-Ma'ida: 20-21)
It is the "irreligious, Godless Zionism" that we as Muslims condemn and regard as a threat. These Godless Zionists, who do not defend the existence and oneness of Allah, but, on the contrary, encourage a Darwinist, materialist perspective and thus engage in irreligious propaganda, are also a threat to devout Jews. Godless Zionism is today engaged in a struggle against peace, security and moral virtue, and constantly produces strife and turmoil and the shedding of blood.
One of the hundreds of statements by Mr. Oktar regarding the need to watch over and protect devout Jews reads:
ADNAN OKTAR: We should earnestly take care of devout Jews in Israel, just like we watch over Palestine most efficaciously. They are entirely ours, some of them are children of the Prophet Jacob (pbuh), and others are children of the Prophet Ishmael (pbuh). Some of them are descendants of the Prophet Jacob (pbuh), some are descendants of the Prophet Ishmael (pbuh). They are the lineage of the prophets. The entire nation and breed comes from the prophets and they are very devout and pure people. There are atheist Zionists and masons who are troubling them. There is a group that aims to break them and make them destroy one another. We need to pull them aside, to withdraw this evil clan and let our devout and pure brothers of prophet lineage live in happiness there. One-sided politics is wrong, that would not conform to justice or conscience. It would not be reasonable as well. And we cannot ignore such glory because Jews are very devout and dignified people. We must definitely protect and safeguard them, but at the same time we must free the Palestinians from these troubles as our brothers.

Mr. Oktar said the following in one of his recent statements:
ADNAN OKTAR: The pronouncement of the Qur'an regarding the People of the Book [Jews and Christians] is crystal clear, and is also clear from the Sunnah of our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace). The people of the Book are our La Ilaha IllaAllah (there is no deity but Allah) brothers; Armenians, Jews, the Orthodox, Protestants and the whole Christian world are all our brothers. We all believe in the same Allah. There is the same belief in the Christian, Jewish and Islamic worlds. We are all the children of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh). Members of all three faiths share the same basic beliefs, and the existence of the People of the Book is therefore a great blessing. Islam is not solely based on the peace and comfort of Muslims. The Qur'an says that the People of the Book also exist. And according to the Qur'an, the People of the Book must also live in peace and comfort and be protected by Muslims. It is an excellent thing to live as brothers and talk and converse with the People of the Book. According to the Qur'an, one may marry members of the People of the Book, eat their food and enjoy business and social relationships with them. Islam demands that the People of the Book be shown affection and respect. This is a religious obligation for Muslims. Allah says in one verse:
Today all good things have been made lawful for you. And the food of those given the Book is also lawful for you and your food is lawful for them. So are chaste women from among the believers and chaste women of those given the Book before you, once you have given them their dowries in marriage, not in fornication or taking them as secret intrigues. But as for anyone who rejects faith, his actions will come to nothing and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. (Surat al-Ma'ida, 5)

Baselessness of claims against SRF families
The claims brought by New Humanist regarding SRF members’ attitude toward their families are based on atrocious slanders. Only 4-5 families whose names are included in the evidence files known to be supported by masonic centers and the alleged Ergenekon terror organization members voiced the slanders produced by this alleged terror organization through various speculations. They tried to affect the judgment and carried out a negative propaganda against the SRF community. In order to see the respect and love of SRF members to their families, one should consider the convictions of HUNDREDS of families who explicitly express their views and love for Mr. Adnan Oktar and SRF community rather than a mere 4-5 families supported by the alleged Ergenekon terror organization. Hundreds of families express their gladness about how Mr. Adnan Oktar brought up their children as faithful individuals with moral perfection and state that their children are their greatest supporters and helpers in times of hardship and sickness. You can watch their personal views and the press conference held by these families here.
The claim that families provide money to the community is another consequence of the provocation carried out by people from the alleged organization. This claim, which is asserted to, in their own way, affect the Court and cause indignation in public, has not even a single solid evidence. This claim is utterly disproved by the testimonies before the Court given by 4 people whose names are mentioned in the SRF case indictment. There is neither a witness, nor a complainant or an aggrieved party about this subject.
Furthermore members of the SRF community are made up of 40-45 years old, married people who have regular family and business lives. Each of them are the graduates of prominent Turkish and foreign universities who have quite successful business lives. This claim made against them is, first of all, not becoming to their personalities. This aside, it is also extremely baseless when their financial situations are considered.
Besides, as can also be understood from the statements of the families, these families receive financial contribution from their children. As a requisite of our religion all members of SRF circle consider their families as holy and show great respect and love to them. Consequently such claims are utterly unreal and are based on indecent speculations.
MASONS' SLANDERS AND ATTACKS AGAINST ADNAN OKTAR
(From Mr. Adnan Oktar’s live interview on Gaziantep Olay TV and Mavi Karadeniz TV, September 8th, 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR:
OKTAR BABUNA: Yes.
ADNAN OKTAR: In other words, we know he was paid 1.2 trillion to initiate a campaign against me. We will provide the proof of this for the courts. We have got it ready and will give it to the prosecutor. As you know, freemasonry, Turkish freemasonry, has been against me for years, and I am in a bitter struggle against them. Cübbeli Hodja came out and said that no masonic channel would allow a Muslim as a guest, that some kind of agreement must have been reached, and he said that himself. I am not saying that Cübbeli came to an agreement with the channels. But it looks really strange, of course. They keep praising the man, saying he is this and that, that he dresses so well and resembles Alain Delon, I don’t know, all kinds of thing like that. Yet they are really well aware of his weakness and helplessness, and they had a very entertaining time in that knowledge. Why is it as if they had swallowed their tongues whenever I am around. Why do they tremble and not have the nerve to stand up against me? Why do I slam anyone I grab hold of down on the ground?
OKTAR BABUNA: Masha’Allah, thanks be to Allah, Masha’Allah.
ADNAN OKTAR: There is something about me that they are keen to avoid. It is Allah Who gives me this power. I have no personal strength of my own and neither do my colleagues. We are just manifestations of Allah. Allah makes us speak and encounter whatever it is.
OKTAR BABUNA: Insha’Allah.
ADNAN OKTAR: Insha’Allah, a phone call came on that day as I was heading off to Habertürk [TV]. They said there would be an attack at the entrance to Habertürk.
PRESENTER: We did not know.
ADNAN OKTAR: Of course. The police took wide-ranging precautions. We told the police, who surrounded Habertürk on all sounds. And the police met us on the way in. Thanks be to Allah, nothing. Perhaps certain circles imagined I would speak in a more negative way out of that panic, I don’t know, but I always say they should not hide what they have in their hands. In other words it is a challenge. We will oppose their every bad deed with love and the moral values of the Qur’an.
CİHAT GÜNDOĞDU: Insha’Allah.
ADNAN OKTAR: We will always show forgiveness and kindness, with respect for freedom of ideas on a scientific, cultural and democratic framework, never disparaging anyone. In other words, we know that Allah created everyone and that Allah controls all things, and we enjoy the peace and calm that comes from that in submission to Allah, Insha’Allah
