How many atheist school children have been beheaded by Christians as happened in Indonesia? In how many countries are atheists being ethnically cleansed from by Christians (as is happening in the ME)? How many atheists are imprisoned by Christians for being atheists (as in Iran and other ME countries)? Come on. If you're not a hate-filled lying weasel, you'll be able to answer thse questions. I think you approve of persecution of Christians.

So you don't have enough intelligence or integrity to realize the difference between Christianity and Islam? Seriously????? Are Salmon Rushdie and Richard Dawkins hiding out together?

A profile in atheist courage Richard Dawkins isn't so keen on criticizing the God of the Koran: Asked if he thought the same of the God of the Koran, Dawkins ducked the question, saying: "Well, um, the God of the Koran I don't know so much about." How can it be that the world's most fearless atheist, celebrated for his strident opinions on the Christian and Jewish Gods, could profess to know so little about the God of the Koran? Has he not had the time? Or is Professor Dawkins simply demonstrating that most crucial trait of his species: survival instinct. Whoops. It’s funny how these confident, cocksure prophets of atheism-who barely have time to take a breath between slamming the tenets of Christianity and Judaism-often get curiously tongue-tied and shy when the subject of Islam comes up. The idea that Dawkins doesn’t “know so much about” the God of the Koran is absurd. Of course he knows about Islam. And the same disdain and disregard that he has for Judaism and Christianity should surely apply to Islam as well. The truth is that bashing and mocking Judaism and Christianity is easy and painless. You’ll get praise and admiration from those within the “right” circles of academia, media, and entertainment. Your opponents will argue with and debate your views and they may even offer (gasp) to pray for you. There’s no real price to pay at all. Well, I know I'm shocked.... Labels: atheism
