ameen has hit the nail on the right spot. We dont quote Harun Yahya because he is Harun Yahya, we post his work after verifying it is in conforminity with the Qur'an, most of his work is in conforminity with the Qur'an.
If any other scholar produces a piece of writing or documentary that I feel portrays the Qur'anic message and values and invited people to follow it, I would happily put it up.
The fact that Harun Yahya wrote the article does not validate what he is saying. Just because he made lots of other works which I agree with does not dictate I have to agree with everything he says. Again, this notion arises from a common Sunni mentality where one views their revered scholars as divine infallible source of religion, knowingly or unknowingly. Whereas for me, the Qur'an remains the focal point and if their work matces with my understanding of the Qur'an, I will spread it. The scholar does not become my yardstick, the Qur'an is.
As for the article, it is a huge anomaly in HY's work. Given the vast misinterpretation and twisting of Verses in this single article, and how HY has always intepreted the Qur'an in its context and with wisdom, one wonders if this article was ever written by HY.
I noticed HY recently started putting these articles up and editted many of his existing works to include "Ahlus-Sunnah" views and sources. I can only conclude this is to tune in the majority Ahlus-Sunnah followers who have become skeptical on his quoting of Qur'an without Hadith. So perhaps this is the ploy.
