Incident, key quote: “Wie aber sollte den ID-Vertretern begegnet werden? Seinem ersten Impuls folgend würde Dawkins Studenten, die ihn mit derartigen Ansichten konfrontieren, aus dem Hörsaal werfen – genau wie dies auch Studierenden der Geschichte widerfahren sollte, die den Holocaust in Frage stellen.”
Translation (by WmAD): “How should one respond to ID proponents? Dawkins’s first impulse would be to take those who confront him with that view and throw them out of the lecture hall — exactly as one would do to students of history who question the Holocaust.”
