Finally it begins to become clear why Wordpress.com was blocked in Turkey on Friday, 17th of August. According to a letter that was sent to Matt Mullenweg of Wordpress, the attorneys of a Turkish radical Islamist who is considered as the “advocate of creationism in Islamic world”, Adnan Oktar (a.k.a. Harun Yahya) applied to the Turkish courts and demanded a block for a blog on Wordpress.com, which “contained slanders” to both Oktar and his “colleagues”.

The attorney’s letter complains about “insults” to his client on a Wordpress.blog which was titled “adnanoktar.wordpress.com”.

So, we now learn that the block came after Adnan Oktar’s attorneys applied to Turkish courts.

Ironically, the very same state who prosecuted him various times, allowed Oktar to damage Turkey’s image in the world with this ridiculous access block on Wordpress.com blogs.

Like an old Turkish phrase says: “A mad man throws a stone into the well and fourty wise man can’t get it out.”
