Harun Yahya & Joel Richardson
June 26th, 2009
As many of you know, I recently visited Istanbul, Turkey upon the invitation of Adnan Oktar, aka Harun Yahya for a time of personal connection and discussion. And as many of you also know, Adnan is a controversial though very influential Muslim leader and intellectual who has written over three hundred books. He is very well known throughout Turkey and the larger Muslim world with literally millions of his books in circulation in numerous languages. While in Istanbul, I was treated with great care and hospitality by Adnan and his supporters. My time there was wonderful and I am very thankful to Mr. Oktar for the invitation and for his very generous hospitality. Read the rest of this entry »
Ark of the Covenant Update
June 26th, 2009Go directly to WND for the latest…
Interestingly enough, if the real Ark is revealed, it could prove be somewhat difficult for Muslims who await the Mahdi. One of the key things that the Mahdi will allegedly do is to reveal to the world the Ark of the Covenant and some other lost Biblical manuscripts. In fact, the word Mahdi comes from the root word yahdi which means to guide to that which is hidden. As-Suyuti mentioned in al-Hawi that Muhammad said, “he is called the Mahdi because he will guide the people to a mountain in Syria from which he will bring out the volumes of the Torah to refute the Jews. At the hands of the Mahdi the Ark of the Covenant will be brought forth from the Lake of Tiberias and taken and placed in Jerusalem.”
Al-Qaida says it killed American in Mauritania
June 25th, 2009These jihadists are blind enough to think of themselves as brave “knights of Islam”. Yet it took two of them armed with guns to kill this unarmed father of four simply for the “crime” of inviting Muslims to Christianity. Jihadists everywhere should be deeply covered with shame. There was only one true man and soldier of God in this story. Please pray for the wife and children of Christopher Legget, a hero in heaven and in the coming Kingdom.
NOUAKCHOTT, Mauritania (AP) — Al-Qaida’s North African branch has claimed responsibility for the killing of an American aid worker shot dead this week in Mauritania’s capital, Al-Jazeera TV reported Thursday. Read the rest of this entry »
Joel’s Trip to Istanbul
June 25th, 2009
I just returned from four days in Istanbul. I had the opportunity to meet with Harun Yahya, aka Adnan Oktar. We spent several hours together, some of which was filmed, much of which was not. I will post the portion that was filmed as soon as it is translated and the voice-over is complete. We had some very productive discussions. I’ll be sure to share some of the details later next week. In the meantime, I posted my photo album for anyone who is interested. Mostly architecture. Istanbul is absolutely beautiful.
‘Ark of the Covenant’ about to be unveiled?
June 25th, 2009Ethiopian patriarch tells pope he will show artifact to world. If he doesn’t, I say that we go over with some Navy Seals and reveal it to the world overselves. Just kidding. But I have always been very curious to see what they are hiding in that shack.
