According to BasBasBas.com, a Dutch blogger based in Istanbul, who alerted readers about the issue: 'It is suspected that the reason for this has something to do with Adnan Oktar, by some considered the leading Muslim advocate for creationism, who has in the past managed to get Wordpress, Google Groups, as well as Richard Dawkins' website [banned].'"

this might be my bad english understanding, or some translation issue - but the text you cited somehow didn't make much sense.
what's the main point of that citation and what does the second half of the first paragraph say (i lost my way around the 'prosecutor' part) ?
