Mr Erbakan served only a year as prime minister before he was forced to stand down in 1997 by Turkey's staunchly secular military.

His Islamist Welfare Party was banned in 1998, while Mr Erbakan was barred from politics for five years for violating the constitution.

The governing AK Party, which has Islamist roots, grew out of Welfare.

Necmettin Erbakan led the Welfare Party to unexpected success in the 1995 general election when it won just over 20% of the vote to become the largest party in parliament.

Mr Erbakan became prime minister in June the following year in coalition with Tansu Ciller's centre-right True Path Party.

The Welfare Party was banned in 1998 by Turkey's Constitutional Court on charges of undermining the secular political system.

Later the party's funds were seized and an investigation led to charges that Mr Erbakan and other party officials were involved in diverting $3.5m earmarked for local party branches.

In March 2002, he was jailed for two years and four months.

In recent years, Mr Erbakan, had led the small Felicity Party.

He went into hospital in Ankara last month with a reported foot infection and died on Sunday.

Anti-Islam Fanatic Kafir Robert Spencer Attack on Islam

In the course of research for my forthcoming book, Did Muhammad Exist?, I have been in contact with a European researcher who has given me some extraordinary information about the origins of the rituals that Muslims perform during the hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca. Mecca is central to Islamic worship, as all Muslims must face Mecca while praying, and are obligated to make the hajj once in their lifetimes if they are able to do so. Muslims call the Kaaba is called “albayt alharaam” (Qur’an 5:97). It is considered the inviolable institution of obedience to Allah’s Sharia, the pure mosque: “Al-masjid al-haraam” (see Qur’an 2:196, 5:97, 9:19, 48:25). Yet only one verse of the Qur’an seems to refer to Mecca by name: “And He it is Who hath withheld men’s hands from you, and hath withheld your hands from them, in the valley of Mecca, after He had made you victors over them. Allah is Seer of what ye do” (48:24). And we know that the Ka’aba predates Islam, as Muhammad is said to have entere
