He has been saying the same things about Christians for a long long time and the leftists always gave him 100% support.
He’s under the bus now.
lol.
He forgets that leftism itself is a religion

Richard has never before dealt with people who behead you for disagreeing with them.

Oh well. The muslims can correct this. Just arrange to have a Nobel for genocide and another for torture. They’ll corner the market, just like the Jews have cornered it for the real Nobels.

He added that if Professor Dawkins had any clue what he was talking about, hed know to trip out the Economic Nobels, which arent quite real. Are we pretending that the Nobel Peace Prize is real - giving Islam points for Obama and Anwar al-Sadat?
In any case, talking about when Islam peaked is like talking about the peak of the Marianas Trench - unimpressive even if it is a relative high point.

In Islam there is no room for open, free debate and exchange of intellectual ideas as in Cambridge or any other center for higher learning. There is no such thing as compromise and balance.
This is why Islam as a religion keeps it's adherents stuck in the 7th century which their fingers up their bums instead of building civilization and moving forward.
They are in a reset-anger-blowup-kill-reset-anger-blowup-kill cycle since the Middle Ages.

On the other hands, Christians can’t convince their own adherents to follow or protect the religion.
Peaked at what, marauding and plagiarism?

"Richard has never before dealt with people who behead you for disagreeing with them." Or shank you while you're standing in line for a Latte, which is much, much likelier. Whatever one's opinion of Mr Dawkins, one would be hard pressed to describe his public criticism of Islam as less than bold, or perhaps suicidal.
Hope he carries. He'll likely need to before long.
To: nickcarraway
Christianity has opened itself up to too much self-criticsm and doubt. It's a lot easier to be secular and do whatever the heck you want (in a consumer society) than adhere to some form of self-control and respect. The Churches need to somehow (?) unite or begin merging.
Judaism is united by one Torah. Religiosity is based on how much Law to accept and practice but all agree on the central tennent.
Islam is united (kind of) by the Koran though the different sects kill each other for fun.
Christianity is not united, too many derivations I think. At least they don't kill each other today as they did in the past, like Islam today.
The Church is a divided house.

Good one I dunno . . . if you wanna talk about arent quite real, Id start with the Peace prize. Speaking of which, what did Mr. Obama do with that money given to him by a foreign power (the Peace Prize committee being a creature of the Norwegian government), anyway?
But then, if its macro economics were talking about, the man would definitely have a point.

Only the Physics, Chemistry, Physiology, and Economics prizes are real.
The Literature and Peace prizes are awarded based on politics and “fairness”.
