Pork is one of the foods that Allah makes unlawful in the Qur’an. A true Muslim will demonstrate determination in abiding by Allah’s commands and prohibition even if he is unaware of the wisdom behind them. But if Allah so wills He can also show us the wisdom behind the things He has prohibited. The recent rapid rise in cases of swine flu, a lethal disease, is one of the reasons why the eating of pork is unlawful. Swine flu is a disease caused by the virus “H1N1” and can be passed from person to person through the air. Like the flu virus in human beings, the swine flu virus constantly changes in pigs. Pigs’ respiratory passages contain receptors that are sensitive to viruses such as swine, human and bird flu. For that reason, pigs increase the possibility of new viruses emerging in the event they are transmitted simultaneously. The A/H1N1 virus, a combination of human, swine and bird flu viruses, only appears in the receptors in pigs’ respiratory passages; in other words, pigs serve as hosts for viruses to combine together in. Because human beings have no natural immunity to the virus and since it spreads very fast, the World Health Organization has warned that the disease is about to spread out of control as an epidemic. One of the most frightening aspects of the disease is that it is the same as the “Spanish Flu” that led to the deaths of more than 50 million people between September 1918 and June 1920. It is the AH1N1 virus that causes the disease in both cases. Spanish flu was also first transmitted to human beings from pigs in America, from where it spread across the world, becoming one of the worst epidemics in history. Therefore, in the event that swine flu cannot be brought under control, there is a danger that it will spread all over the world. The Hadith Indicate That Pigs Will Be Destroyed in the End Times Fourteen hundred years ago, our Prophet (saas) indicated that pigs will be destroyed in the End Times: Hazrat Mahdi will come as a just judge… he will slay the pig and distribute goods and possessions, but because of their abundance nobody will accept them. (Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi Alamat al-Mahdi al- Muntadhar, p. 31) This hadith suggests that there will have to be a mass slaughter of pigs in the time of Hazrat Mahdi . Indeed, states may have to resort to the mass slaughter of pigs in order to prevent the spread of swine flu if it becomes an epidemic threatening the whole world. Egypt has in fact already begun slaughtering pigs in order to protect itself against the disease. The hadith of our Prophet (saas) state that it will be essential to slaughter pigs, the source of swine flu, in the same way the authorities dry up the swamps that constitute the breeding grounds of mosquitoes, which also constantly spread disease. As has already been stated, pigs’ respiratory passages play the main role in the emergence of this dangerous disease. That is just one of the reasons behind Allah’s prohibiting the consumption of pork. There are many other pieces of wisdom behind Allah’s making the consumption of pork unlawful. Some of these may be set out as follows: Pork contains high levels of sulfur Since pork contains high levels of sulfur, when it is eaten a large amount of sulfur is absorbed by the body. Excessive amounts may lead to various diseases, such as joint infections when it accumulates in cartilage, muscle and nerves, calcification and hernia. In the event of regular pork consumption, soft connective tissue from the pig replaces the hard cartilage in the body. As a result, the cartilage becomes unable to bear the weight of the body, which in turn leads to joint deficiencies. Pork contains excessive amounts of growth hormone Excessive amounts of growth hormone ingested through pork leads to tissue swelling and deformations. It can lead to sudden and extreme fat accumulation. People who eat pork generally have a higher risk of obesity. It may lead to abnormal growth of the nose, jaw, hand and feet bones. The most dangerous aspect of excessive growth hormone is that is prepares the way for cancer. Eating pork leads to skin diseases Substances known as “histamine” and “imtidazole” in pork cause excessive itching. They also prepare the way for infectious skin diseases such as eczema, dermatitis and neurodermatitis. These substances also increase the risk of boils, appendicitis, gall bladder diseases and arterial infections. Doctors therefore advise heart patients to avoid eating pork. Eating pork spreads trichina Trichina worms ingested through pork enter the blood stream through the stomach and intestines and spread throughout the body. Trichina worms particularly settle in muscle tissue in the jaw, tongue, neck, throat and chest regions. They lead to paralysis of the chewing, speech and swallowing muscles. They also cause vein obstructions, meningitis and brain infections. Severe cases may even end in death. The most dangerous aspect of the disease is that there is no cure for it. Trichina outbreaks have been observed from time to time in Sweden, Britain and Poland, despite tight veterinary controls. Pork is very fatty and contains poisonous substances Pork is very fatty. When ingested, the fat enters the blood stream and leads to hardening of the arteries, raised blood pressure and coronary infarct. In addition, pork contains a toxin called “Sutoxin.” The lymph glands have to work extra hard in order to expel these toxins from the body. This manifests as swelling of the lymph glands, especially in children. If the disease progresses, all the lymph glands swell up, temperature rises and pain begins. These are just a few aspects of the wisdom behind Allah’s making the eating of pork unlawful. Allah is also showing us the wisdom of this prohibition by creating swine flu in the End Times. For a sincere believer, even not knowing why Allah has prohibited anything, his main responsibility is to maintain the bounds set by Him. But with the epidemic over recent days Allah is telling believers of yet another element of that wisdom. www.harunyahya.com

The hadith of our Prophet (saas) provide a lot of information showing that Hazrat Mahdi will emerge from Istanbul. One hadith states that Hazrat Mahdi will appear from Turkey and will never leave it until the end of his struggle: THE MAHDI WILL NOT LEAVE RUM, THE TURKS (because Turkey used to be known as region of Rum). (Tilsimlar Magazine narrated from Ish'afu'r-Ragibin, Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, p. 212) HAZRAT MAHDI WILL EMERGE FROM THE FORMER CENTER OF THE CALIPHATE Hazrat Mahdi and his system represent the central point of the hadith concerning the events of the End Times. Most of the major incidents in the End Times will revolve around Hazrat Mahdi . There are various accounts concerning the location of these events, but Bediüzzaman Said Nursi clarifies the issue by saying: Now, the difference in the narrations about individuals like the Mahdi, and their meaning, is this: those who expounded Hadiths applied the text of the Hadiths to their own interpretations and commentaries. For example, since the centre of power at that time was Damascus or Medina, they imagined the events connected with the Mahdi and Sufyan in places like Basra, Kufa, and Syria, which were in the region of those centers, and expounded them accordingly.”(The Words / Twenty-Fourth Word - Third Branch - p.355) In another passage Bediuzzaman Said Nursi says on the issue: Since in early times the centers of the Caliphate were in Iraq, Damascus, and Medina, on their own interpretations, the narrators showed these events as occurring close to the centre of Islamic government, as though it was always going to remain thus, and said Aleppo and Damascus. They added their own details to the succinct predictions of the Hadith. (The Rays / The Fifth Ray - Second Station - p.107) Although different cities appear in the hadith, the common feature of the accounts concerning the location of the events of the End Times is that they will take place in the capital of the Caliphate, where the two standards, the sword and robe of our Prophet (saas) are kept. As can be seen from Bediuzzaman's statements, the scholars who narrated the hadith of the End Times spoke of the events of the End Times being based in the centers of the caliphate of their own times. With regard to the place where Hazrat Mahdi will appear from, each scholar has cited places such as Iraq, Damascus, Kufa and Medina as the centers of the caliphate in their own times. That is the reason for the difference in the accounts regarding the location of Hazrat Mahdi’s emergence. Because the knowledge and information possessed by the narrators of these hadith has gradually been added to the accounts (mixed with those of the original transmitters) and thus given them their present form. The capital of the Caliphate has changed several times since the days of our Prophet (saas) – Damascus, Aleppo, Kufa, Mecca and finally Istanbul. However, the common feature of the accounts regarding the location of the events of the End Times is that they will take place in the center of the Caliphate. Bediuzzaman also reached that conclusion. The final center of the caliphate was “Istanbul.” The caliphate was officially abolished at the beginning of the last century, and it was never transferred anywhere else after that time. The two standards, sword and robe of our Prophet (saas), together with other holy relics, are kept in Istanbul. In conclusion, Istanbul is the only city to still bear this spiritual title. For that reason, that is where Hazrat Mahdi may be expected to appear from. (Allah knows the truth.) HAZRAT MAHDI WILL APPEAR TOGETHER WITH THE HOLY RELICS KEPT IN ISTANBUL It is narrated from Abdullah b. Surafa that: Hazrat Mahdi will have an embroidered banner of our Prophet (saas) with him. (Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir al-Zaman, p. 65) He will appear with the camelhair banner of our Prophet (saas). That banner will have four corners, will be stitchless and black in color. There will be a crescent on it. That banner, never opened since the death of Rasulullah (saas), will be unfurled when Hazrat Mahdi emerges. (Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir al-Zaman, p. 23) HAZRAT MAHDI WILL SPIRITUALLY CAPTURE ISTANBUL It is narrated from Ibn Amr that: Our Prophet (saas) said: O, people! There are six things without which Doomsday will not happen, (the sixth) is the capture of the city. -He was asked: Which city? -He replied: Constantinople. (*) This is the spiritual capture of Constantinople by Hazrat Mahdi . (Muhammad ibn 'Abd ar-Rasul Barzanji, Portents of Doomsday, p. 204 – Ramuz al-Ahadith, p. 296) Your leader, who distinguishes between truth and error, who does not deceive, who does not steal and who is devoted to his religion [Hazrat Mahdi ] will capture Constantinople (Istanbul). (The Mahdi and the Imam, p. 196) Even if but a single day remains in this world, Allah will certainly prolong that day so that one from my family [Hazrat Mahdi ] can take possession of Mount (or the land of) Daylam and the city of Constantinople (Istanbul). (Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir al-Zaman, p. 74 / Death-Doomsday-The Hereafter and the Portents of the End Times, p. 440) Hazrat Mahdi will conquer Constantinople and Mount Daylam. (Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi Alamat al-Mahdi al- Muntadhar, p. 27) http://www.awaitedmahdi.com/index.php

ANOTHER PORTENT OF HAZRAT MAHDI REVEALED BY IMAM RABBANI HAS COME ABOUT: THE APPEARANCE OF A DOUBLE-TAILED COMET RESEMBLING A HORN You repeatedly ask about A BRIGHT PILLAR BORN FROM THE EAST. Know that, According to his Companions, the Messenger of Allah (saas) said: "When Abbasi Malik arrives at Khorasan, one of the signs of the coming of the promised Mahdi, A DOUBLE-TOOTHED (1) LIGHT SHEDDING (2) HORN (3) WILL APPEAR IN THE EAST." According to the account, that pillar had two heads. The first birth of this pillar was at the time of the destruction of the people of Nuh . The same thing was born when they cast Ibrahim into the fire. It was born again in the time of Pharaoh and his people. It was born again at the time of the martyring of the Prophet Yahya . Let whoever sees it seek shelter in Allah from the evil of corruption. That whiteness emerging from the East was formerly in the shape of a radiant pillar. A curvature then came to it, and it took the form of a horn. It is probable, therefore: -it is described as double-headed probably because both sides will be thin and resemble a tooth, and it will have a head at both ends. Indeed, if a blade has a cutting edge on two sides, -They use the term double-headed. My brother Sheikh Muhammad Takhir Badahshi came from Confor. He says: -There are two heads on the upper part of that pillar. They resemble two teeth. There is a short space between them. This was recognized at the desert. The same report was also given by another community. But this birth is not that which will appear at the coming of the Mahdi. That is because his appearance will be at the beginning of the century. Eighteen years have currently gone by since the beginning of the century. The hadith says this about the portents of Hazrat Mahdi : "A TAILED STAR (COMET) WILL BE BORN IN THE EAST AND SHED ITS LIGHT." That comet has been born. But is it that one, or another similar one? -That this star is called a comet, is probably based on the following: -The course of the constant IS FROM WEST TO EAST (4)... The situation of this star follows this course. In other words, its head faces east and its tail faces west. The long white part is in its rear. Therefore: -It is appropriate for it to be described as having a tail. ITS DAILY PASSAGE, ON THE OTHER HAND, IS FROM EAST TO WEST. (5) Allah best knows the truth. Imam Rabbani, Maktubat, Letter 381, p. 1184 The expression “a double-toothed, light-shedding horn will appear,“ described by our Prophet (saas) in the hadith as a portent of the coming of the awaited Hazrat Mahdi in the End Times and described in detail by Imam Rabbani refers to the comet Lulin, which came closest to the Earth on 24 February, 2009. The way that the terms in the hadith completely fit the characteristics of the comet Lulin is a great miracle and glad tidings for believers awaiting the coming of Hazrat Mahdi . (1) ... double-toothed...: The fact that the tail of the comet Lulin is forked completely matches the term double-toothed in the hadith. (2) ... light-shedding...: The term light-shedding in the hadith refers to the brightness of the comet Lulin, which exceeded that of six stars as it approached the Earth. (3) ... a horn...: The main distinguishing feature between Lulin and other comets is that as well as the comet having a tail in the rear of its body, it also has a tail in the front. Examination of photographs of Lulin and its two tails immediately put one in mind of a horn. (4) The course of the constant is from west to east...: The hadith goes on to say that “The course of the constant is from west to east...“ This refers to the movement of heavenly bodies, which information is in full agreement with the astronomical findings of the 20th century. Indeed, all heavenly bodies travel from WEST to EAST. (5) Its daily passage, on the other hand, is from east to west. ...: Here the expression “Its daily passage, on the other hand, ...” indicates that the comet Lulin, as opposed to all other heavenly bodies, travel from east to west. The fact that this characteristic, seen in no other heavenly body, applies to the comet Lulin and that this was described 1,400 years ago by our Prophet (saas) as a portent of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi is a great miracle. www.harunyahya.com

AN IMAGE SHAPED LIKE A HAND WILL APPEAR IN SPACE, AND THIS IS A PORTENT OF THE COMING OF HAZRAT MAHDI ... Asma bint Umays says: THE PORTENT OF THAT DAY [THE COMING OF HAZRAT MAHDI ] IS A HAND EXTENDING FROM THE SKY AND PEOPLE TURNING TO LOOK AT IT. Hadith Collected by Jalaluddin As-Suyuti, Portents of the Mahdi of the End Times, Ali Ibn Hasamaddin Al Muttaki, p. 69 ... AT THAT TIME [OF THE APPEARANCE OF HAZRAT MAHDI ] A HAND WILL BE SEEN REVEALING ITSELF FROM THE SKY... Hadith Collected by Jalaluddin As-Suyuti, Portents of the Mahdi of the End Times, Ali Ibn Hasamaddin Al Muttaki, p. 51 Conflict and disputes will persist until A HAND APPEARS FROM THE SKY and a voice cries “The Mahdi is your amir.” THE SIGN OF THAT DAY: A HAND WILL EXTEND FROM THE SKY and people will look at and see it. Ahmad Ibn Hajar al-Makki (Haytami), Portents of the Anticipated Mahdi, Al-Qawl Al-Mukhtasar Fi alamat Al-Mahdi Al-Muntazar, p. 53 These hadith transmitted from our Prophet (saas) speak of a “hand” being seen in the sky, and say that this is a portent of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi . It appears that disputes will continue until that time and that Hazrat Mahdi will constantly be a matter of discussion. A picture of space taken by NASA’s Chandra X-Ray Observatory shows a mass of neutron stars shaped like a hand appearing to close round another star mass. The reference to a hand in the hadith may be suggestive of this image in the indicated meaning, described by NASA as the “hand of God,” giving rise to a celestial phenomenon. (Allah knows the truth.) The shape of a hand formed by the stellar mass is in complete agreement with the description of its extension as given in the hadith. The photograph taken by NASA shows a hand stretching out somewhere. In addition, the way that people were able to see and observe this celestial phenomenon by means of telescopes thanks to the advanced space and astronomical technology in the time of Hazrat Mahdi is also in complete agreement with the expressions employed in the hadith. As stated in another hadith, the portents of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi as "… may be expected to take place one after the other like beads on a necklace whose string has snapped” (Abu Huraira , Tirmidhi) and have been taking place one after the other over the last 30 years, and are still going on today. The latest, which happened when the two-tailed comet Lulin came closest to the Earth on 24 February, 2009, also appears to match a hadith narrated by Imam Rabbani: “a double-toothed light shedding horn will appear in the East” This, followed now by a celestial phenomenon in the shape of a hand referred to in the hadith in terms of “a hand extending from the sky,” is all evidence that Hazrat Mahdi has already appeared and begun his work, and that he will soon be recognized by people.

Dawkins! You Can’t Reach A Point Bt Debating Priests You’ve turned down Mr. Adnan Oktar’s face to face debate offer by bringing along scientific evidence. Now you only debate secondary school children and priests. If you’re after victory, you’ll be ashamed. Would it be a victory to defeat a priest, who has no information about Darwinism? Sooner or later, you will confront Mr. Adnan Oktar. What are you going to do then? Your works feel show intended, you keep claiming you’re an African ape. Whereas you know your grandmaster’s explanation on this matter. “But then with me the horrid doubt always arises whether the convictions of man’s mind, which has been developed from the mind of the lower animals, ARE OF ANY VALUE or AT ALL TRUSTWORTHY. Would any one TRUST IN THE CONVICTIONS OF A MONKEY’S MIND, IF THERE ARE ANY CONVICTIONS IN SUCH A MIND?”<A title="" href="http://harunyahya.com/articles/dawkins_04_09.php#_ftn1#_ftn1">1 As you see, your grandmaster Darwin says opinion of a monkey cannot be trusted. How do you take this? The fact that you choose secondary school children for a debate shows your desperation. But this is a fact that even the secondary school children do not believe what you’re saying. They’re just laughing at what you’re saying and they all say that they believe in Allah (God). Both the children and the priests you’re arguing, love Allah and the Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him). They believe in Hereafter and the importance of good morality. They see that the universe has been created by a magnificent art. THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN DECEIVE THEM! Rather than arguing with children and priests, COME DEBATE MR. ADNAN OKTAR if you can trust your power, knowledge and scientific proofs, if you have any. YET YOU CANNOT COME. BECAUSE YOU ARE VERY WELL AWARE THAT THIS DEBATE WILL BE OVER BEFORE IT STARTS AND YOU ARE DEFINITELY GOING TO BE DEFEATED. WHEN: Only 5 of 100 million fossils are laid before you You’re asked if a single protein can emerge by chance The existence of 100 million fossils are mentioned The emergence of irreducibly complex systems of living things are asked You apprehend you have no answer about the emergence of life You have no answer for the Cambrian animals You have no explanation for Darwinist forgeries You would LOOK UP IN THE AIR AND THINK FOR HOURS again as you did when you were asked if there was a “transitional form fossil”... http://harunyahya.com/articles/dawkins_04_09.php But with the rotten logic you’re defending, YOU CANNOT COME UP WITH AN ANSWER EVEN IF YOU’VE THOUGHT UP UNTIL THE MORNING. You cannot bring out scientific evidence, but only display ludicrous manners and try to entertain people. You cannot reach a point, trying to entertain children by jokes and comedy. By this way, you wouldn’t be recognized as a scientist, YOU WOULD BE A COMEDY ARTIST. There is nothing you can do. You cannot come to a conclusion with joke and comedy. You need to respond with scientific evidence, REAL EVIDENCE. If you cannot, YOU NEED TO ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR BIG FAILURE. Remember, even Darwin, accepted that his theory would be demolished unless a transitional-fossil is found. WE ARE IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY, THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE TRANSITIONAL FOSSIL and DARWIN’S THEORY IS DEMOLISHED! Be honest and come and confront Mr. Adnan Oktar with scientific evidence, if there is any! If there is not – which is in fact impossible – then acknowledge the failure the entire world is aware of. 1—Charles Darwin, Letter to William Graham, 1881.

I am a doctor from Turkey, a brain surgeon. I represent Harun Yahya in Turkey who is the author of 300 books including Atlas of Creation. Now, if we talk about scientific theories. You know this is the way it works. First, you spill the principles of a hypothesis and if it is verified by observations and experiments then it becomes a theory. So, speakers made some allegations but they were not verified by scientific evidences. For example, If evolution is a fact, you know Darwin suggested that there should be successive minor changes between species. We have to see transitional forms. You know, transitional forms. We have to see. Can you show us transitional forms? Monstrous animals with no wings for example. Single wing, little bit wing that shows incomplete organs.Tiktaalik rosaea and archaeopteryx are not transitional forms, they are complete animals. Extinct animals.

With a recent statement announcing the entire world that it has a moderate outlook on Darwin’s evolution theory, Vatican claimed that the faith of creation in Christianity and biological evolution are complementary. With this statement indicating the Pope’s point of view on Darwin, Vatican, the symbol of Christianity, has undertaken the patronage of an surprising, and even disturbing explanation. In the face of these explanations that can never be reconciled with faith in Allah (God) and Christianity, it needs to be brought to light whether these extremely disturbing statements belong to Vatican or not. For this reason, DEVOUT CHRISTIANS SHOULD POS1E THESE QUESTIONS TO THE POPE: 1. The entire world of Christianity and Islam await the descend of Prophet Jesus (pbuh). When Prophet Jesus (pbuh) comes, will you be able to look into his eyes and say, “You have come into being by evolution”? 2. Allah took Prophet Jesus (pbuh) into His sight. How will you explain his second coming to Earth by evolution? 3. According to your faith, did Gabriel [Jibril (pbuh)], Michael [Mikhail (pbuh)] and all the other angels stated in the New Testament and all the other holy books come into being by evolution? 4. Did the jinn stated in the Bible and the Qur’an come into being again by way of evolution? 5. Did satan come also into being by evolution? 6. Did Prophet Moses’ (pbuh) staff, which immediately turned into an alive snake that had the ability to reproduce, come into being by way of evolution? 7. Did the bird Prophet Jesus (pbuh) make out of mud and made it alive by blowing on it come into being by evolution? (The Qur'an 3:49) Devout Christians and press should pose all these questions to the Pope. Only the answers to these questions will have a validity for sincere people of faith. The press should accept the answers of these questions as the Vatican’s statement, and not the statements given on Vatican’s behalf. Consequently, without waiting for the answers of these questions, people should not give credit to the statements that appear in some press organs as the Pope’s statements about evolution. However, if these statements claimed to be made by Vatican were actually true, then the following conclusion emerges: freemasonry and atheist zionists make pressure on Papacy. If such a pressure by masons and atheist zionists were true, and the Pope were hindered from advocating the facts, then the situation is extremely serious. This simply means that the Darwinist dictatorship has no limits. It is also concluded that Vatican is made an instrument in this filthy plot and simply prevented from advocating and honestly telling the facts. Yet it is an established fact that despite Darwinist dictatorship’s filthy plots, people all over the world have realized that evolution is a fraud. They have learned that the number of fossils unearthed so far has exceeded 100 MILLION and NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM IS A TRANSITIONAL FORM. They have seen with proof that all of these are perfectly created living beings having perfect attributes, and even some of them represent LIVING FOSSILS dating millions of years. People have examined these proofs themselves. They have clearly seen that the prophecy Darwin made 150 years ago have come to be true. 150 years ago Darwin made the following prophecy in his book, The Origin of Species: ... Why, if species have descended from other species by insensibly fine gradations, do we not everywhere see innumerable transitional forms? Why is not all nature in confusion instead of the species being, as we see them, well defined? But, as by this theory innumerable transitional forms must have existed, why do we not find them embedded in countless numbers in the crust of the earth? Why then is not every geological formation and every stratum full of such intermediate links? Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely graduated organic chain; and this, perhaps, is the most obvious and gravest objection which can be urged against my theory. In this statement Darwin confesses that transitional forms do not exist and that his theory would collapse in case they can not be uncovered. At present, in the 21st century, 100 MILLION FOSSILS HAVE BEEN UNEARTHED AND NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM IS A TRANSITIONAL FOSSIL. Almost all the earth have been dug up. Yet if it were possible and 100 MILLION MORE FOSSILS WERE UNEARTHED, AGAIN NOT A SINGLE FOSSIL WOULD BE FOUND. That is because THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION is a fraud, it is the BIGGEST MASS HOAX OF HISTORY that has influenced the entire world for 150 years. People already know that THERE EXISTS NOTHING CALLED TRANSITIONAL FOSSIL, that PROTEINS COULD NOT HAVE COME INTO BEING BY CHANCE, that ALL THE SKULLS that Darwinists try to show as evidence for the imaginary evolution of human beings ARE FAKE. People also know that Darwinists make forgery, that THEY PRODUCE FAKE FOSSILS, and do not currently take offence at displaying them in museums. People already know that what is put forward as transitional forms are only speculations made on extinct species. For this reason, people do not give credit to lies of evolution. That Vatican accepts the theory of evolution and churches organize conferences about evolution will not change this fact. Today in Turkey the ratio of people believing in evolution is 5 percent, while in the United States it is 21 percent[ii], and in England, Darwin’s mainland, it is only 25 percent[iii]. While this ratio increasingly decreases, people witness the demolition and disappearance of the theory of evolution, draw closer to faith and turn to All-Mighty Allah, the Creator of everything from nothing. The plots of masons and atheist zionists have definetly turned against themselves. Angels in the Bible: Daniel 8: 16 -17 And I heard a man's voice from the Ulai calling, "Gabriel, tell this man the meaning of the vision." As he came near the place where I was standing, I was terrified and fell prostrate... Daniel 9:21 While I was still in prayer, Gabriel, the man I had seen in the earlier vision, came to me in swift flight about the time of the evening sacrifice. Luke 1:19 The angel answered, "I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news. Luke 1:26-27 In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. Jude 1:9 But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a slanderous accusation against him... Jinn in the Bible: Deutoronomy, 32:17 They sacrificed to demons that were no gods, to gods they had never known,
to new gods that had come recently,
whom your fathers had never dreaded. Psalm 106:37 They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons; Matthew 9:32 While they were going out, a man who was demon-possessed and could not talk was brought to Jesus. Matthew 9:33 And when the demon was driven out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowd was amazed and said, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel." Matthew 9:34 But the Pharisees said, "It is by the prince of demons that he drives out demons." Luke 11:15 But some of them said, "By Beelzebub, the prince of demons, he is driving out demons." Luke 11:19 Now if I drive out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your followers drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. Luke 11:20 But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you. Luke 9 Luke 9:1 When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases. Luke 8:31 And they (demons) begged him [Jesus] repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss. Matthew 17:18 Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed from that moment. Satan in the Bible: 1. Chronicles 21:1 Satan rose up against Israel and incited David to take a census of Israel. Job 2:7 So satan went out from the presence of the Lord and afflicted Job with painful sores from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. Matthew 4:10 Jesus said to him, "Away from me, satan! For it is written: “Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.” Mark 3:26 And if satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come. Mark 1:13 And he was in the desert forty days, being tempted by satan. He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him. Luke 22:31 Simon, Simon, satan has asked to sift you[a] as wheat. Romans 16:20 The God of peace will soon crush satan under your feet. The grace of our Jesus be with you. 2 Corinthians 2:11 In order that satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes. 1 Timothy 5:15 Some have in fact already turned away to follow satan.

AN INTERVIEW WITH MR. ADNAN OKTAR BY ARABNEWS (November 9, 2008) http://en.harunyahya.tv/videoDetail/...EMBER_9,_2008) Arab News is one of the most important dailies printed in English in the Middle East. Arab News which has a distribution net in Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, Europe, Near East and America, is the most widely read newspaper in Saudi Arabia. Mr.Adnan Oktar, in his interview by Arab News stated that Freemasons have an organic connection with the Satan, and that they have been openly voicing this fact in their own publications without even denying or holding back. Mr.Oktar also stated that it would not be possible to find a solution to the Israel-Palestine problem through complex recipes but that it would be easily solved with the foundation of Turkish-Islamic Union. Mr.Adnan Oktar who stated that our army is very humble and loving towards Islam, depicted that all the soldiers attending to the funerals of the martyrs perform the prayers, that they all pray and do continuously cite Allah. He also mentioned that our army has always been very devout but, since they had an enlightened, progressive point of view, has always opposed to conservatism and fanaticism. Apart from that Mr.Oktar stated that he finds the Intelligent Design concept highly unctuous; because Allah’s creation is apparently seen and as such should be voiced openly by stating that it is “Allah Who Created all”. He argued that saying “All is created by an unknown Power” would be to assume a subterfuge, unctuous and a very wrong approach. Mr.Oktar expounded that along with the collapse of Darwinism belief in Allah had been rapidly growing and that the world did not need the intelligent design concept for that. Along with these, Mr.Oktar had also replied various questions of Arab News from the backcloth of the 9/11 attacks to the economic crisis experienced and he had made some very important comments. ------------------------------------------------------------------- AN INTERVIEW WITH MR. ADNAN OKTAR BY GARETH JENKINS (July 13, 2008) http://en.harunyahya.tv/videoDetail/...JULY_13,_2008) In this interview Mr.Adnan Oktar has been asked about his life and his activities and the impact of his works all around the world. His reply concerning the impact of his work made it clear that the approach to religion in the west had changed drastically after Mr.Oktar’s book reached there: Adnan Oktar: ….. It was after the Atlas of Creation that the really stunning effect happened in Europe. It provoked a really huge response in France, Germany and Italy. It elicited huge reactions. It had a particularly positive effect on the intellectual section of society. It greatly accelerated the return to religion. Christians, people of Christian origins, literally began becoming really devout. These developments were truly excellent. I sent a copy of my Atlas to Tony Blair, for instance. Reports say that Blair now encourages faith to play a greater role. Former Prime Minister Tony Blair has called for faith to be given a central role in the resolution of world problems. Belief, in other words. Belief in Allah. Tony Blair is dedicating his life to religion. They say that former Prime Minister Tony Blair says he will spend the rest of his life increasing inter-faith dialogue. These are all statements that came in the wake of the Atlas. Tony Blair has called on faith leaders to reinvigorate the conscience of the world. His words. These are all Blair’s word. The Atlas has had a very, very positive impact. And not only on him. French President Nicolas Sarkozy is the same. He says that “.. this great devotion, joy and faith that will be instrumental in the birth of one of the finest and greatest civilizations the world has ever seen emerged from here 1400 years ago. He is referring to Islam. Almighty Allah is present in everyone’s hearts and thoughts. It is Allah who prevents people being made captive and who sets them free. It is Allah who is a rampart against boundless human pride and madness. It is Allah who constantly gives human beings a message of humility and love, of peace and brotherhood, of tolerance and respect that transcends all differences. This message has generally changed in nature, however. It has usually been distorted. Many crimes have been committed in the name of religion. But in reality these have nothing to do with religion at all. On the contrary, they are a denial of religion. They are a betrayal of religion.” You know what Sarkozy’s earlier perspective on religion was.

ADNAN OKTAR BY GECE TV (TOKAT) (September 15, 2008) http://en.harunyahya.tv/videoDetail/...MBER_15,_2008) Mr. Adnan Oktar gave important statements about the Turkish-Armenian relationship from the old days to present. Mr. Oktar told that the Armenians are immaculate, loving, artistic people and that they have always been trustworthy during the Ottoman times until Darwinism appeared and that we had Armenian generals, politicians, doctors and artists at that time. With the appearance of Darwinism a time of racism, romantic nationalism, communist thinking has begun and Shaytan felt his presence, thus separated us from our Armenian brothers. He also stated that we as the Turkish Nation never feel any enmity towards the Armenians, nor they did towards us, that it was the Freemasonry that caused this wildness and that enfolded the world like a spider’s web. He added that it is time to repair this situation and to embrace these brave, pure people and to forget about the past and give blessings to each other and to start a new beginning between these two socities and that the dark times of Darwinism has ended never to come back again. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ADNAN OKTAR'S IFTAR DINNER SPEECH (September 18, 2008) http://en.harunyahya.tv/videoDetail/...ER_18,_2 008) Mr. Adnan Oktar has given a short speech at the Iftar meal, in which his guests were welcomed in Çırağan Palace. Mr.Adnan Oktar who replied the questions of the members of foreign and local press, had stated that he had regarded the Armenia visit of our President Mr.Abdullah Gül as a very positive and auspicious initiative. In regard to the subject of the closure of the website of evolutionist scientist R.Dawkins, Mr.Oktar stated that he supports the freedom of ideas but that site had harbored severe insults and defamations against him and thus the court had ruled to ban the access to that website to protect his personal rights. Mr. Adnan Oktar also stated that Ergenekon is a big and comprehensive assassination organization and that the operation held against them was a very important and good development for Turkey on the way to the Turkish-Islamic Union. He also said that efforts of the public prosecutors and security forces should be supported in this respect. Mr.Oktar stated that along with the collapse of Darwinism in the 21st century, the world has been continuously cleansed from the crime organizations, from false ideas; and that harsh despotic regimes were replaced with moderate, liberal, reasonable regimes; and that the world was heading towards good and beautiful days and that this inclination will reach its peak point with the arrival of the Mahdi and the return of Prophet Isa(saas). -------------------------------------------------------------------------- AN INTERVIEW WITH MR. ADNAN OKTAR BY AL-QUDS (November 17, 2008) http://en.harunyahya.tv/videoDetail/...MBER_17,_2008) Al-Quds newspaper is being distributed in all the regions of Palestine and in regions of Israel like Jerusalem, in which Palestinians are residing. It is the most read Arabic daily with the highest circulation. Mr.Adnan Oktar, in this interview published in the Al-Quds newspaper, had made very striking comments about the Israel-Palestine problem: he explained what should be done to put an end to the turmoil and misery experienced in the Palestine. Here are some of the mentioned messages: Adnan OKTAR: “The only condition for regeneration is a profound faith. To constantly love Allah in a very profound way, to enjoy a close bond with Allah, to be loyal to Allah and possess lofty moral virtues, to be willing to forego one’s goods and life and to maintain a powerful love of and dialogue with Allah at all moments, every hour, night and day, even in the most difficult moments. When that happens, Allah’s protection will start to cover believers and all issues concerning them will start going well, insha’Allah.” Adnan OKTAR: “The faith movement, resisting by faith alone, resisting with culture and knowledge, is one of the most powerful weapons in the world. It is much more effective than the atom bomb, incomparably so. A powerful loving bond, a conception of affection and compassion and knowledge will ensure the support of the whole world. But ignorance and violence inspire global antipathy and opposition. That is why I am saying right now that the subject can be completely resolved by way of love, affection, culture and knowledge, maturity, prayer, close devotion to Allah and strong awe of Allah. Insha’Allah.”
