I was startled by how quickly the phone call came. I'd just sent an e-mail to Istanbul to see whether Islam's leading creationist would be available for an interview. I would soon fly to Turkey for a 10-day fact-finding trip with the International Reporting Project, and I had one free day. Would Harun Yahya, the scourge of Richard Dawkins and founder of a global media empire, be free to talk?
Actually, I wasn't sure it was worth the trouble. Hiring a guide for a day in Istanbul would run me $300, plus more for a translator. But when Harun Yahya's assistant called me from Istanbul—it couldn't have been more than three minutes after my query—she offered to send a driver to pick me up at my hotel on the other side of the city. And the translator? No problem—they'd supply one. >>>Person | About | Day |
