Starts exactly 5 minutes into the video.
I think the only useful political television are the shows where people with both points of view argue in real-time. Everything else tends to be biased and edited.
So you can imagine that this video is like the holy grail to me. Richard Dawkins (yes, THAT Richard Dawkins) visited the home of a Jewish man who turned into a Fundamentalist Muslim thinking the man would provide some perspective on both points of view. Instead the man aggressively attacked Dawkins, evolution and atheism in general.
This is absolute gold. The only problem is that it's been edited!! (ARGH) I would pay to see the raw footage of this debate. Fox News WISHES they could get two people this genuinely opposed in one room.
It's also a great opportunity to understand Dawkins and why he's aggressively against religion. You can see the vein in his neck stand-up while he tries to explain his logic and reasoning to the guy, and the guy shoots it right back in his face.
Dawkins seems to be the type that understands things and makes sense of them very quickly, and gets frustrated and impatient with people who can't or won't do the same.
