Little Richie Dawkins

I suspect this cartto is from the left wing and not the right. The left does not want non white religions anf their influence on non white people to be insulted or questioned. They don't , in Britain want Muslims put in their place like white Christians are!! The left wing is more interested in identity issues then origin or religious issues. Dawkins is useful nut , like in a James Bond movie, if he fails the great agendas he will be thrown in the piranha tank. Robert Byers

Alan,

Of course, due to the warning, I haven’t watched the video

Glad that there is someone who still thinks swear words are bad Of Course there is no mystery to who made the video .Just look at the credits! Is he a 'Darwinist' or 'IDist' or some other 'ist' ? Mike Booth et al selvaRajan

Here is the UK guardian's take on Richard Dawkins own video (of which Little Richie seems derived from )

The video that Richard Dawkins made for an advertising company in Cannes is like a particularly vivid anti-drug commercial: this is your brain on bad acid, except, of course, that this is a portrait of a brain wrecked by self-importance.

Those were not the words of an IDist, it was the UK Guardian. Dawkins making fun of the Muslim woman? Pretty much straight out his writings that encourage ridicule of religious people. In fact in Richards own words:

Dear Muslima Stop whining, will you. Yes, yes, I know you had your genitals mutilated with a razor blade, and … yawn … don’t tell me yet again, I know you aren’t allowed to drive a car, and you can’t leave the house without a male relative, and your husband is allowed to beat you, and you’ll be stoned to death if you commit adultery. But stop whining, will you. Think of the suffering your poor American sisters have to put up with. Only this week I heard of one, she calls herself Skep”chick”, and do you know what happened to her? A man in a hotel elevator invited her back to his room for coffee. I am not exaggerating. He really did. He invited her back to his room for coffee. Of course she said no, and of course he didn’t lay a finger on her, but even so … And you, Muslima, think you have misogyny to complain about! For goodness sake grow up, or at least grow a thicker skin. Richard http://www.redlightpolitics.info/post/7263060171/dear-muslima-stop-whining-will-you-yes-yes-i

That video was unbearably cringeworthy (I forced myself to watch all of it so I could comment) and now even Larry Moran is mocking us for our uncivility. Rightfully so…

Aw, come on. The video is kind of cheesy but it's fun to make fun of dirt worshipers. Dawkins deserves to be ridiculed at every opportunity. :-D Mapou

I don't know why anyone would make such videos. It serves no purpose at all - not that all YouTube videos make sense! selvaRajan

I don't think the video was from anyone in the ID community. It parallels the rather negative view that the UK guardian gave of him recently, and the video looks a lot like the video Dawkins made of himself. See: https://uncommondesc.wpengine.com/just-for-fun/dawkins-mutation-in-the-mind-music-video-this-is-your-brain-on-bad-acid/ https://uncommondesc.wpengine.com/humor/uk-guardian-offers-a-snarky-review-of-dawkins-latest-book/ The Little Richie video will make more sense in the context of the music Video Dawkins himself made and the UK guardian's review of Dawkins book. This is to point out, even non-IDists are noticing Dawkins behavior. I posted it to report how Dawkins is now generally perceived. Moran should be one to complain about incivility. scordova

[warning: Dawkins uses a swear word in this cartoon]

I think it would be more accurate to say that the makers of the cartoon use a "swear word". I doubt that Richard Dawkins' actual words have been accurately quoted here. Please correct me if I am wrong. Of course, due to the warning, I haven't watched the video. Alan Fox

You can tell it was me posting by looking carefully at the "posted by" line. Sal scordova

Mapou, That was me, scordova, posting the article under the category "news". I sometimes post to "news" if I think the topic has less priority over others (particularly youtube cartoons). As far as vulgarity. We may have little precocious kids reading UD. We wouldn't want to offend them. :-) scordova

News: The readership of this forum must be really sensitive and out of touch with the world that you feel the need to warn them that Dawkins's animated character uses the word "shit". Would it have been better if he had said, "you're full of feces"?Would the administrators or anybody who reads this site get offended if I say that dirt worshipers like Dawkins are full of shit? This is the 21st century, after all. Mapou
