Richard Dawkins’ biggest critics used to be conservative Christians. Now they’re Berkeley progressives who defend anything and everything Islamic.

Watching the left eat its own has got to be my favorite pastime.

But attacks upon Christianity are acceptable.

They don’t fear Christians.

“While KPFA emphatically supports serious free speech, we do not support abusive speech.” I have my pocket constitution to review the 1st amendment prohibition on “abusive speech.” Still looking! Also need to follow up on who decides what speech is “abusive.”

The KFPA definition of “Free Speech” is “you are free to say anything consistent with the party line.”

It goes beyond fear. I know a college student whose grandparents were converts from Islam to Christianity and who fled Pakistan to get away from the death threats. He should have every reason to question Islam’s ability to co-exist in a secular Western country. Instead, he now is an unabashed advocate for Muslims, even interned for CAIR. To me, it shows how much multiculturalism can brainwash people, to the point of denying their ancestors’ plight. And Muslim advocacy groups are masters at playing the victim card in the multiculturalism deck.

Conclusion: the left is actively promoting *slam, while it is dismantling all the influences Christianity has had on our country.

It is promoting *slam because of the votes and money they will get from m*slims, in return for the right to enjoy *slam, raping, burning, and chopping heads.

The left, silly. Any disagreement with them is abuse.

Dawkins is anti-religious, but I am not sure he is Leftist.

Yeah, but along the way, the Left is destroying society.
The Bamster, Holder, Lynch, The Beast and their associates were once all wild-eyed college radicals. The Berkeley, Yale and Harvard kids today, who despise American values, will someday be in a position in government to do something about it.

He was scheduled to deliver this talk at a Berkeley church. The irony.

I see later in the article that James Watson was "de-platformed" at the U of Illinois for certain remarks pertaining to the evolution of intelligence in Africa. I've met the man and believe me, he really, really, really doesn't give a rip what anybody thinks. I'd love to have heard his private response.

Islam means submission.

They really do mean for you to submit.

Eventually it will be illegal to criticize Islam here like it is in other countries.

“They don’t fear Christians.”

They greatly fear Christians. They don’t fear for their lives.

Yet, I think their Islam support is more beyond fear, it’s common cause with whom they see as the biggest enemies of those they hate.
