    Hmm, the Turkish legal system. Hardly the bastion of fair justice, is it?

    Its hard to judge from the limited coverage of this case how the charges relate back to his Creationists activities. He was charge with 17 others in 1999, in a case that was dropped but picked up again by a different court, for making "criminal threats", so by the sounds of this the crime is not related to him simply expressing his non-secular view point. He has used Turkey's libel laws quite effectively in the last few years to have Internet access from Turkey to critical publications outside Turkey, blocked

    I know nothing of the case, but I would always remain skeptical of a decison made by the Turkish legal code.
