An atheist professor said Tuesday that it's acceptable to criticize Christians but not Muslims, because he does not "fear" retaliation from Christians.
"I know what keeps me from critiquing Islam on my blog is just fear," Phil Zuckerman said at a discussion on religious liberty at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. "I've got three kids.
"So I know I can say anything about Christianity or Mormonism, and I'm not living in fear, which is a testament to Christianity and Mormonism, and that's wonderful. Thank you," said Zuckerman, who is a self-described atheist and professor of secular studies at Pitzer College in Claremont, Calif.

Cowards that they are. Since they can’t stand for anything they’ll fall for anything.
At least he admits it. I’d rather hear the truth than the PC carp I hear from the other leftists.
Me, too. It isn’t an irrational cowardice if a public figure with a wife and kids backs away from saying things that could them killed. It sucks, but fear of offending is making cowards of us all.
Tell that to the guy jailed for making the “Benghazi” video.
Well, at least he admits he’s a cowardly POS!
Hard to believe a liberal would admit what we all know. Is this legit?
That’s why I went to that Mohammed cartoon contest, and would go again. Of course I knew they would have a lot of seurity and I was just an attendee, not publicly known. I was interviewed by the TV station and she asked me if I was scared, and seemed surprised when I said No, that in this country we should be able to draw whatever we want without threats of violence.
Near as I can tell, it’s a new thang. Since European and American culture is becoming more and more secular, they want to address that. Since it’s so new, the usefulness of it is probably like a BA in psychology. Nothing.
An atheist who hates Christianity & who is also an honest hypocrite and coward. What a lovely combination.
Phil Zuckerman: the putz from Pitzer
Maybe that's the problem, not just with Christians, but conservatives of all types. No one fears us, 'cause we are complacent, cowardly sheep. Time to change that.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Look at who liberals support and ask why
Look at who liberals attack and ask why?
a coward AND a bully...a horrible combination. A life wasted.
Never heard of this guy, but sounds like the scales are falling from his eyes. Perhaps God is working a conversion of him right now.
And the supposedly educated and knowledgable silly bugger can't work out what the eventual consequences will be?
If these Atheists had a freakin clue, they would become ministers and do everything in their power to spread the gospel and boost Christianity, because once the tipping point is reached and everything flips Islamic, they won't be tolerated at all.
Their butts will be in the air while they pray facing Mecca.
I keep saying this: "The Future of Atheism is bowing on a prayer mat facing Mecca."

1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.
... from Wikipedia! I think it definitely applies. ... Not judging, just nudging.
