Adnan Oktar
(Harun Yahya)
The fanatics who ban these arts – despite
these verses of the Qur'an – need to say what they
think about the Prophet Solomon (pbuh), who had
extraordinarily lovely statues in his palace.
These peddlers of superstition have wreaked great
damage on Islamic societies. The Islamic world never
managed to develop after the spread of such superstition
about sculpture and painting. Societies that cannot develop
art remain frozen, soulless and atrophied; they are closed
to novelty. They gradually lose their creativity, their ability
to think practically and their understanding of detail. Cold-
ness and lack of taste are reflected in the places where they
live and the way in which they behave toward one an-
other. As a result of their turning
their backs on art, monotony,
coldness and lack of taste,
devoid of grace, predomi-
nate in the dark world of
the fanatics.
