Who is Richard Dawkins?

Clinton Richard Dawkins FRS FRSL (born 1941) is an English ethologist, evolutionary biologist, and author. He is an emeritus fellow of New College, Oxford, and was the University of Oxford's Professor for Public Understanding of Science from 1995 until 2008. Dawkins is an atheist, and is well known for his criticism of creationism and intelligent design. In The Blind Watchmaker (1986), he argues against the watchmaker analogy, an argument for the existence of a supernatural creator based upon the complexity of living organisms. Instead, he describes evolutionary processes as analogous to a blind watchmaker in that reproduction, mutation, and selection are unguided by any designer.

Who is Mehdi Hasan?

Mehdi Raza Hasan (born 1979) is a British political journalist, broadcaster and author. In 2013, Hassan took part in a debate at the Oxford Union to consider whether Islam is a peaceful religion. Hassan vouched for Islam as a religion of peace, citing political and cultural reasons for violence in Muslim majority countries, as opposed to holding the religion of Islam responsible. In the vote on the motion, the house affirmed with Hassan and the other proposers that Islam is a religion of peace with 286 votes in favor and 168 votes against.

Video Description (from Youtube)

In this fascinating interview and Q&A session, Richard Dawkins is confronted with all the hard questions and criticisms he has raised in his book The God Delusion in an interview on Al Jazeera:

Is religion a force for good or evil?
Was 9/11 a religiously-inspired attack?
Should teaching religion to small children be considered child abuse?

The interviewer, it turns out, actually believes Muhammad the "Prophet" flew to heaven on a winged horse! Yup, you read that right. You really need to watch this.
