I always enjoy Dawkins work, maybe its my guilty pleasure as he often says things many of us are thinking but hold back for not wanting to be too harsh.

Watching and hearing from friends in Europe the impact of the influence and push by Islam, I can clearly see why people like Dawkins are no longer quiet or gentle about the debate.

I guess in Canada we can be quite fortunate to not have our public school board meetings chalk full of people trying to get creationism into our science classes nor the zealotry found in places like in parts of the US and of course much of the muslim world.

I still find the series done by PBS's NOVA on Darwin as the best ever documentary series made on the subject. Probably not too hard to find online, the series was called Darwin's Dangerous Idea (2hrs) and the Nova Evolution series which was 7 parts (7hrs), Liam Neeson narrated.
