Dear Sir,<\/p>\n

We have realized that various sections on the link http:\/\/stephenlaw.blogspot.com\/2008\/10\/invitation-to-meet-mr-oktar-yahya.html of your blog contain groundless and wrong statements directed at my client, Mr. Adnan Oktar.
Please note that the article of the Turkish Daily News entitled “The Force Behind the Adnan Hoca Operation: Agar’s Revenge” , which you cited on your blog, was removed from the newspaper’s site upon our request to the site administration and application to the court. So we kindly urge you to remove this article as well, as the orginal links containing this article, https:\/\/turkishdailynews.com.tr\/archives.php?id=15021 and https:\/\/turkishdailynews.com.tr\/searchadv.php?o=0&q=newsstands
As for the other citations on your blog, for example the one from the link http:\/\/whoisharunyahya.wordpress.com\/paranoid-cult-leader-harun-yahya\/, we already applied to the court for the closure of this link. As you may already know, the access to www.wordpress.com, who ignored our warnings numerous times in the past regarding the removal of some blogs with similar content, has been suspended by a court ruling and the whole site has been blocked.
Thttp:\/\/www.blogger.com\/img\/blank.gifhe other citation from the site www.yahyaharun.com has to be removed as well since the original link has already been removed and the site closed with a court order.<\/p>\n

Waiting to hear from you soon<\/p>\n

Best Regards
Attorney Ceyhun Gokdogan<\/p>\n

STEPHEN’S RESPONSE:<\/p>\n

Thanks – is this merely a request, or is there some sort of threat of legal action if I don’t do what you want?<\/p>\n

best wishes
Stephen<\/p>\n

POSTSCRIPT<\/p>\n

The offending blog is here: An invitation to meet Mr Adnan Oktar (aka Harun Yahya, aka Adnan Hoca) – “future ruler of the entire world”?<\/a><\/p>\n

You can read about Oktar’s success in blocking all wordpress blogs here:
Shooting the messenger
A Turkish court has ordered the blocking of blog platform WordPress. Is this the first sign of Islamist censorship in the secular state?
