Evolution

De Ha

This ineffective video blog by De Ha argues against a video by Zaid Ghazzawi.  (See our evaluation here.  LINK)  The speaker talks about what the original speaker does wrong without ever providing a real context for his own argument.  As he explains in the beginning, this particular vlog came into existence after he realized he hadn’t been recording himself when going through the video point by point.  It might have been better not to have uploaded anything at all.

The visuals of this video come only from the original video replayed at a faster speed.

Evaluation:

This video makes no clear statements about Islam or Muslims, and fails to take the ideas in the original video seriously enough to comment on them carefully.

The analogies used in the voice-over are not particularly clear, especially without watching the original video.  De Ha starts with a discussion of the Eiffel Tower and triangles that doesn’t make any sense in the context of evolution.  He also indicates that DNA is a fundamental aspect of evolution, but does not make clear in what way or how that impacts the argument made in the video he’s commenting on.

There is insufficient historical material on which to base an evaluation.
