Adnan Oktar, Controversial Religious Figure, Sues His Suers

Adnan Oktar, a controversial religious figure, filed lawsuits against Gürkan Özocak and Mehmet Ali Köksal - two lawyers hired by an atheist group to sue him - over "manipulating a fair trial" and "breaching confidentiality of a judicial investigation".

Previously, an Istanbul prosecutor dropped charges against Adnan Oktar for “incitement to hatred and hostility". The applicant complaint that Oktar's theories and opinions insulted at those who support atheism, materialism, Darwinism and Marxism.

"We are going to appeal prosecutor's dropping off charges," Özocak told bianet.

The applicant's lawsuit cited that Harun Yahya, alias Adnan Oktar, insulted those who support atheism, materialism, Darwinism and Marxism through YouTube videos, and TV programs diffused from his TV-Chanel.

Bir Grup Ateist, an atheist group who sued Oktar for incitement to hatred and hostility, explained who they are and why they sued Oktar at adnanoktarsucisliyor.blogspot.com (Adnan Oktar is committing a crime).

"Adnan Oktar has sued several authors and web sites over defamation-related charges even though their opinions were within the limits of expression freedom. And he is continuing to insult those whose opinions he doesn't appreciate with much more severity," the group said in a statement.

"Darwinist and materialist people lack intelligence"

The group claimed some of Oktar's remarks that need to prosecuted as follows:

"PKK and them. They all have the same mentality. They all have the bloody-shedding, cruel mentality of those Darwinist, materialist, Stalinist, Leninist crowds.

“Darwinist and materialist people lack intelligence. All massacre perpetrators came though a marxist, Leninist and materialist education.

"They have held the Islam world as their hostage. The reason behind Muslims' current misery is due to Darwinism. The fall of Ottoman Empire is due to Darwinism.

“As a result of materialist, atheist and Darwinist education, a father sees his own child as ape, insect. The child sees his father as monkey, gorilla.

“The teacher of Hitler, the guy who brought up Hitler, says that nations are like Darwin's interpretation of life struggle and can only grow through violent struggle. You see the effect of Darwinism everywhere." (AS/BM)
