Responses:

It all seems rather petty in an ultra-sensitive world. What he said was stupid. Let's just leave it at that. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 8, 14:05 1
- the reactions are pritty interesting though -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Aug 8, 14:12
Am I surprised? Only at the number of people who seem to think Islam is a race, rather than a religion -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Aug 8, 13:58
He's a dumbass and I wish he'd shut the fuck up and stop giving non-theists a bad name. -- nm - TWuG Aug 8, 13:56 21
- he seems to hit the nail on most of his points though -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Aug 8, 13:59 20
  - Someone as educated as Dawkins should know better than to fall into the correlation/causation trap. -- nm - Reagen Aug 8, 14:00 8
    - You can attack someone for his opinion. But for simply stating an intriguing fact? -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Aug 8, 14:04 7
      - If he's "just saying", then he's no better than a troll. - Reagen Aug 8, 14:06 3
        
        The bigotry lies in those that only blink when the target is Islam instead of Christianity. - Dr.Vermin Aug 8, 14:27 1
        
        Since when do I do either thing? Also, that's a bullshit rationalization. -- nm - Reagen Aug 8, 14:33
        
        i find his GMO meme of today far more problematic -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Aug 8, 14:08
      - You have to be a dirty racist to be intrigued by that! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 8, 14:05 2
        
        religion and race are two seperate "entities" in most cases - DaneDukeNuuk Aug 8, 14:07 1
        
        :) Yes, J/K -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 8, 14:13
  - being correct does not mitigate being an obnoxious prick, however. :) -- nm - znufrii Aug 8, 14:00 10
    - As boards B2 through B3,897 will show. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 8, 14:02 1
      - They also show there's not necessarily correlation between the two. -- nm - Roger More Aug 8, 14:11
    - well i doubt you can avoid looking obnoxious when considering who he debates -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Aug 8, 14:02

        bwahahaha -- nm - Spawn Aug 8, 14:08 2
        
        case in point. - znufrii Aug 8, 14:09 1
