Do you know who Harun Yahya is? The link I've provided goes to his website. Below is a quote. (Note to the mods: The website the quoted material comes from has this copyright notice on the bottom of its main page: "Harun Yahya International © 2008. All rights reserved. Our materials may be copied, printed and distributed, by referring to this site." I take this to be permission to quote extensively as long as the website, www.harunhayha.com, is credited. I do so here).
The common point in all the writer's works is that all the topics covered by his works are in full agreement with the Qur'an, and strongly affirmed by Qur'anic understanding. Even the topics addressed by science and mostly considered complicated and confusing are narrated very lucidly and explicitly in the books of Harun Yahya. For this reason, these books appeal to everyone, from every age and social group.That’s from the website of the author featured in your first link. Got that? Everything he writes is calculated radical Islamic propaganda!Harun Yahya's books on faith-related topics communicate the existence and oneness of God and are written with the main purpose of introducing Islam to those who are strangers to religion, and reconciling their hearts to the truth. For Muslims, these books are advice as well as a reminder. The writer has published works on all the basic issues referred to in the Qur'an that expand the dedication and contemplation of Muslims.
Each of the author's books on science-related topics stresses the might, sublimity, and majesty of God in minute detail based on well-structured research and evidence, along with extensive contemplation. These books display, for non-Muslims, the signs of the existence of God, and the excellence of His creation in a very explicit and precise way. On the other hand, they add to the faith and submission of believers, and can serve as perfect materials for communicating Islam to other people (where religion is not practiced in its full sense). A sub-group within this series are the "Books Demolishing the Lie of Evolution". The main purpose of these books is to demolish the materialistic and atheistic philosophy which has been put forward as an alternative and rival to religion and has been imposed on the whole world since the 19th century. The great impact the books make on readers signifies that this purpose is fulfilled to a great extent. These books, just as it is stated in the Qur'an in the words "We hurl the Truth against falsehood, and it knocks out its brain" (Surat al-Anbiya, 18), demolish the brain, i.e., the thought system and ideology of the faithless system; and help complete (the revelation of) God's light (Surat as-Saff, 8). For these reasons, these books play a significant role in the intellectual war against non-belief.
The symbolic meaning of the seal of the Prophet Muhammed (May God bless him and grant him peace) on the covers of all of the books by the writer is related to the content of the books. This seal is an indication that the Qur'an is the last book and the last word of God, and our Prophet Muhammad (May God bless him and grant him peace) is the last of His messengers. By taking this attribute of the Qur'an and the Prophet, the writer seeks, in all of his works, to refute all the basic claims of the systems of disbelief and utter the "last word" which will put a definite end to the assertions of infidelity. The stamp of the Prophet Muhammed (May God bless him and grant him peace) who has the greatest honour and wisdom, is used as a prayer for the intention of saying this last word.
In all the books by the author, faith-related issues are explained in the light of the Qur'anic verses and the Hadith and people are invited to learn God's words and to live by them. All the subjects that concern God's verses are explained in such a way as to leave no room for doubt or question marks in the reader's mind. The sincere, plain and fluent style employed ensures that everyone of every age and from every social group can easily understand the books. This effective and lucid narrative makes it possible to read them in a single sitting. Even those whorigorously reject spirituality are influenced by the facts recounted in these books and cannot refute the truthfulness of their contents.
I go to the trouble of pointing this out because we all know you “DEMAND” accuracy, and to omit the above would be less than accurate … don’t you agree? Perhaps you don’t; perhaps you are as cavalier about spread radical Islamic propaganda as you are about your typing.
Here are a few convenient pull-quotes from the above material, in case reading that enormous block of text is too taxing:
“The common point in all the writer's works is that all the topics covered by his works are in full agreement with the Qur'an, and strongly affirmed by Qur'anic understanding.”
Here’s another goodie:
“Harun Yahya's books on faith-related topics communicate the existence and oneness of God and are written with the main purpose of introducing Islam to those who are strangers to religion, and reconciling their hearts to the truth.”
And to be sure the DEMAND for accuracy is fully met:
“By taking this attribute of the Qur'an and the Prophet, the writer seeks, in all of his works, to refute all the basic claims of the systems of disbelief and utter the "last word" which will put a definite end to the assertions of infidelity.”
And you want people at FR to swallow this.
Keep up the good work.
Should be ...
"Perhaps you don’t; perhaps you are as cavalier about spreading radical Islamic propaganda as you are about your typing. "
Not that I should even bother responding to you- because you simply don’t pay attention to the facts, and try to make mountains out of issues that aren’t being discussed- but what I quoted is the central issue- IF you have a rebuttal to what was posted- then post it- otherwise- your little tangent rabbit trail isworthless diversion that has absolutely NOTHING to do with the FACTS that were posted. Either refute the facts- or continue on being ignored as irrelevent to thios discussion
