The January 2010 issue of Egypt Today, published in Cairo since 1979 with a circulation of some 15,000 and with subscribers in 40 countries, carried a report concerning the way the theory of evolution is not widely accepted in the Muslim world. The report stated that the Turkish author Harun Yahya is the central focus of the anti-evolution debates in the Middle East. The fact that the author’s works have been translated into many languages and are easily accessible on the internet was described as one reason behind the spread of anti-evolution ideas.
