For once I agree with Dawkins. What positive effect has Islam had on the world? I can think only of negatives.

Islam was not a torch, as has been claimed, but an extinguisher. Conceived in a barbarous brain for the use of a barbarous people, it was - and it remains - incapable of adapting itself to civilization. Wherever it has dominated, it has broken the impulse towards progress and checked the evolution of society.
- André Servier, French historian who lived in Algeria

If religion is a choice and someone chooses Islam, then they deserve all the criticism they get.
And if it isn’t a choice, then how can we respect anyone that can’t be bothered to reflect on their own religion so they CAN make a choice?
To: beethovenfan
No, no let’s all become muslims, gay, criminals, illegal aliens, druggies, because only the groups liberals pander to are noble and above approach.
And trash all the peaceful Christians, scientists, and so on for the same reason.
What’s the likelihood you are getting nobel prizes in science out of hell holes like Egypt, Pakistan, Somalia, etc.

He added: "A statement of simple fact is not bigotry". Your side changed that rule - no good crying about it, now.

He’s wrong, modern Muslims invented the child suicide walking bomb.

I thought it said Prof Richard Dreyfus— I'm tired, and it's shark week! And he is another liberal loon.
Now watch the Atheist run to the Christians and Jews for protection.
To: SpaceBar
Thank you. That is an excellent quote worth publishing and repeating.
One thing we need to be careful about, however: people are capable of change. I would not indict every individual who has fallen under this insidious religion, but pray for them. I wish no ill on either Dawkins or those who err in matters of faith and life.

"His comments sparked outrage from many high-profile writers and journalists including author Caitlin Moran and Channel 4 News Economics Editor Faisal Islam."
Notice that his comments did not elicit outrage from scientists, but from journalists and "high-profile" writers. Journalists are - by and large - second- or third-rate thinkers, or worse.
To: Kip Russell
Did anybody list some accomplishments, instead of expressing outrage?

Journalists are - by and large - second- or third-rate thinkers, or worse. LOL.
F. A. Hayek once referred to journalists, politicians, and college professors as "the second-hand dealers in ideas".

Doing that would refute his claims a lot better than expressing ‘outrage’’. C’mon muzlims - list the contributions...

"All the world's Muslims have fewer Nobel Prizes than Trinity College, Cambridge.(...)" Is the bad Doctor Dawkins leaving someone off the list?
To: beethovenfan
Dawkins was too generous. Muslims STOLE algebra, they didn’t invent it.
As a matter of fact, I believe that Islam itself was a badly bungled theft of Judeo-Christianity.
