Year Of Darwin Causes Storms In The Moslem World

UNESCO proclaimed 2009, as the year of Darwin. However, this has caused significant storms in Turkey, a country with predominantly Muslim population.
 
March 16, 2009 - PRLog -- In alignment with UNESCO's  proclamation of 2009, as the "Year of Darwin", Turkish scientific and technological journal  "Bilim ve Teknik" published a 16 page feature on Darwin. However, religious circles being against Darwin's "Theory of Evolution" protested against this feature, and as a result,  the feature was censored and the editor of the magazine was sacked. This has brought the issue of "freedom of press"  in Turkey, into a questionable status.
The following article by Askin Ozcan, published in www.thesop.org  studies  the situation in depth and foresees no conflict between Darwin's "Theory of Evolution" and The Holy Koran :
