Creationist gets Blogger.com banned in Turkey

Access to Blogger.com has been banned in Turkey since Friday following a Judge's ruling . It is thought that the banning is the work of Muslim Creationist Adnan Oktar who has managed in the past to get Wordpress, Google Groups and Richard Dawkins own website banned. This blog by a Dutch Student in Istanbul covers this story and realted issue Turkey Bans Blogger | BasBasBas.com . As he points out this happened within a day of a Turkish court ruling that Gay & Group sex were not unnatural acts (Gay and group sex approved by court - Turkish Daily News Oct 23, 2008 )

Turkey is sending out some real mixed messages lately.

Reading a little further about Adnan Oktar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia it seems he uses Turkish Libel laws to get the websites banned.
