I think Splainer is asking why the first image is of Hitler rather than of Dawkins. Also, it could be better to cite a transcript rather than one small quote which could be (potentially) taken out of context to suggest that Dawkins supports Nazism. [[User:MFlem]] 19:08, 11 May 2001 (BST)

The quote is a very telling quote - especially given the barbarism of Hitler's policies. Putting the picture and quote at the top of the article highlights the matter. The quote has a footnote for those who desire more context. By the way, the Conservapedia Richard Dawkins article [http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=richard+dawkiuns&pws=0&gl=UK#q=richard+dawkins&hl=en&gl=UK&biw=1024&bih=547&prmd=ivnsuolb&ei=9UbLTcgShdzRAcvj0NsI&start=10&sa=N&fp=fb3d12b5718b7418 is gaining more visibility in the UK with each passing day.] This holds true for other English speaking countries as well.

As of May 11, 2011 the article [http://www.google.co.in/search?q=richard+dawkins&pws=0&gl=IN had good visibility in India as well.] India, being a peaceful country with the [http://www.darndivorce.com/divorce-rates-around-the-world/ lowest divorce rate in the world] (or at least one of the lowest divorce rates in the world), probably is not enamored of the [[Abrasiveness of Richard Dawkins|abrasive Richard Dawkins]] who is on his third wife. Of course, in light of the speciousness of his work, it wouldn't surprise me if most Indians have never heard of him. [[User:Conservative|conservative]] 22:53, 11 May 2011 (EDT)
