I Googled the above phrase ("theory of evolution relies on prejudiced
comments and twisting the truth"). Try it yourself:

The first match...

http://www.darwinismrefuted.com/20questions07.html

.....is another of Harun Yahya's sites. (It says his real name is Mr.
Adnan Oktar.) Of his books, it says:

"In all the books by the author, faith-related issues are explained in
the light of the Qur'anic verses and the Hadith and people are invited
to learn God's words and to live by them. All the subjects that concern
God's verses are explained in such a way as to leave no room for doubt
or question marks in the reader's mind. The sincere, plain and fluent
style employed ensures that everyone of every age and from every social
group can easily understand the books. This effective and lucid
narrative makes it possible to read them in a single sitting. Even those
who rigorously reject spirituality are influenced by the facts recounted
in these books and cannot refute the truthfulness of their contents."

The next site is boards.nbc.com...

.....where someone ("Ham") posted the same material in it's entirety.

It happens again at freeminds.org...

http://free-minds.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3290&sid=98c420c11749953d3fe80d71d6ac145e

.....along with related material, and some responses. There are references
to "his followers" (Harun's).

Finally, there's what appears to be an Islamic site...

http://maghrebonline.nl/forum2002/viewtopic.php?t=10678&sid=5abf59a38dc4fad157fccea3609b0d5e

with the same material. (I didn't tinyurlize the latter links, watch for
line wrap.)

Just more faith-based evolution-bashing, with the usual straw men,
non-sequiturs, oversimplifications, willful ignorance, ignored or
out-of-context evidence, etc.
