Adnan Oktar Biography
Adnan Oktar is one of the most popular and richest Celebrity who was born on February 2, 1956 in Ankara, Turkey. Adnan Oktar was born in Ankara, Turkey, in 1956, and raised there through his high school years, where he studied the works of Islamic scholars like Said Nursî, a Kurdish Muslim scholar who wrote Risale-i Nur, an extensive tafsir (Qur’anic commentary) that includes a comprehensive political and religious ideology.
The spread of organized Christian creationism to Islam began in the 1980s, when the Muslim minister of education in Turkey turned to the Institute for Creation Research (ICR), a Christian institution then located near San Diego, California, for help in developing twofold curriculum that would teach evolution and creationism side by side. In 1990, the Science Research Foundation (BAV in Turkish) was formed in Istanbul, headed by Oktar.
Throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, Oktar built up his community. His followers were especially active recruiting at summer resorts along the Sea of Marmara. The social organization within the group became more hierarchical and took on a Messianic nature. Oktar says that due to the anarchy and terror in those years, he was unable to continue his studies. He had already begun working on his books, so when he left school he devoted his energy to his books.
In the early 1980s, Oktar gathered young students around him to share his views of Islam. These students belonged to socially-active and prosperous families of Istanbul. From 1982 to 1984, a group of 20 to 30 was formed. They were joined by private high school students who were from socially active and well-known families with a high economic status who had become newly religious. Yüksel said Oktar presented his teachings “gently and in a modern fashion to the children of the privileged class, without intimidating them … a refined and urbanized version of Said Nursi.” In his religious teachings, Oktar argued against Marxism, communism and materialistic philosophy. He attached special importance to refuting evolution and Darwinism because he felt that it had been turned into an ideology used to promote materialism and atheism, and numerous derivative ideologies. He personally funded a pamphlet entitled the Theory of Evolution which combined “mysticism with scientific rhetoric.”
Edip Yuksel, a Turkish writer who knew Oktar in the 1980s, had his own website banned in Turkey due to Oktar’s complaints. In addition, Yuksel wrote a Turkish-language book, The Cult of the Antichrist, but has yet to find “a publisher willing to brave Mr. Oktar’s lawyers.”

Adnan Oktar (born 2 February 1956), also known as Adnan Hoca, Harun Yahya & Sami Olcun, is a Turkish religious cult leader as well as an Islamic creationist. In 2007, he sent thousands of unsolicited copies of his book, The Atlas of Creation, which advocates Islamic creationism, to American scientists, members of Congress, and science museums. Oktar runs two organizations of which he is also the Honorary President: Bilim Araştırma Vakfı (BAV, literally, “Science Research Foundation”, established 1990), which promotes creationism and Milli Değerleri Koruma Vakfı (literally, “National Values Preservation Foundation”, established 1995) which works domestically on a variety of moral issues.
In 1979, Oktar came to Istanbul and entered Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University. These years were marked with violence and repression which led to the installation of a military junta following the coup of September 1980. The environment in Turkey was one of political and cultural instability, threatened by Cold War politics, and a clash between Kemalist secular modernisers and a rising tide of Islamic militancy. In this environment he regularly attended the Molla Mosque in Fındıklı locality, close to the academy of fine arts where he studied interior architecture, to pray regardless of threats. Edip Yüksel, who knew him during those years, described him as a “Sunni zealot.”
His publications argue against evolution. They assert that evolution denies the existence of God, abolishes moral values, and promotes materialism and communism. Oktar argues that Darwinism, by stressing the “survival of the fittest”, has inspired racism, Nazism, communism and terrorism: an argument not unexpected in Turkey when during the political turmoil before a 1980 military coup, communist bookshops touted Darwin’s works as a complement to Karl Marx.

Oktar was arrested, charged with promoting a theocratic revolution for which he served 19 months, though he was never formally charged. In 1986, Oktar spent 10 months in a mental hospital, but he complains that he was not mentally ill but a political “prisoner” who was punished because of the publication of Freemasonry and Judaism.
In 1986 he enrolled in the Philosophy Department of Istanbul University. Oktar appeared as the cover story of Nokta magazine, reporting how he gathered with his friends and held lectures in a mosque. Many university students, mostly from Bosphorus University, one of the most prestigious universities of Turkey, started to participate. Adnan Oktar’s name began to appear regularly in the press, sometimes in the headlines. Later that year he published a 550-page book titled Judaism and Freemasonry, based on the antisemitic canard that state offices, universities, political groups and media were influenced by a “hidden group” “to erode the spiritual, religious, and moral values of the Turkish people and make them like animals.” Adnan Oktar later qualified those remarks (see “conspiracy Theories” below).

In 1994 the Islamist Welfare Party (Refah Partisi), the predecessor of the Justice and Development Party (AKP), won control of the municipalities of Istanbul and Ankara. The new mayors (in Istanbul this was Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, now Turkey’s President) sought broader support. The journalist and editor Fatih Altaylı wrote that Oktar made business agreements with municipalities under the control of the Welfare party. This accusation was denied by Oktar, and resulted in libel suits against Fatih Altaylı with various results. In 1995, Oktar founded Foundation for Protection of National Values (FPNV or in Turkish Millî Değerleri Koruma Vakfı), through which he networks with other conservative Turkish nationalist organizations and individuals based on the ideology of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Republic of Turkey. In 1997, after another military intervention, the “bloodless coup” of 1997, the government of Erbakan stepped down and the Welfare Party disbanded. According to the New Humanist, the current AKP government avoids political connections with Oktar and his organization. According to Luca Steinmann, who writes in the HuffPost, there is no discrepancy between the Islam that Oktar preaches and Erdoğan promotes since Erdoğan’s progressive change for Turkey correlates with Oktar’s cultural point of view.
