Richard Dawkins, the retired Oxford evolutionary biologist, whose best-known books are The Selfish Gene and The God Delusion, is a celebrated atheist routinely critical of all religions, but is known especially for his severe criticism of Islam. He has noticed that Islam is treated with kid gloves by many of his “liberal” colleagues, who are […]
Newsweek reports sarcastic explanation of “Allahu akbar” as “a message of love” as if it were serious
UPDATE: Newsweek has, without notice, edited its article, so that it now says “sarcastically” in the Gad Saad section. Jihad Watch reader Joe, who alerted me to this, notes that it is “hilarious because now the comment makes no sense in the context of the article. How is it a rebuke to Dawkins for Gad […]
Richard Dawkins savaged as “racist” for saying cathedral bells more pleasant than “aggressive-sounding Allahu Akbar”
What’s important here is not what Richard Dawkins likes or dislikes, but the fact that people call him a “racist” with a straight face for thinking “Allahu akbar” sounds aggressive, and preferring the sound of cathedral bells. What race is Islam again? What race is the jihad murder of innocent civilians? I never can remember. […]

Video: Muslim “ex-extremist” explains why he is on the brink of leaving Islam
“Saracen 786” asks a number of questions in this video about whether various Islamic teachings and acts of Muhammad are really moral and ethical. He repeatedly asks Muslim scholars how they would explain these aspects of Islam. If any respond, they will say that Allah decides what is moral and ethical, and thus these aspects […]
Richard Dawkins: “The Bible itself is as toxic as the Quran”
Dawkins said: “The Bible itself is as toxic as the Quran but most Christians are not taught to believe it literally. Most Christians are taught to believe it metaphorically or allegorically.” He thus seems to be assuming that both contain passages mandating warfare against unbelievers, but Christians spiritualize or allegorize those passages, while Muslims do […]
Bill Maher, Richard Dawkins slam Left for giving Islam “free pass” despite jihad terrorism
What is noteworthy about this is how selective and one-sided Maher and Dawkins are. They’re all upset about the Marxist anti-Semite Maryam Namazie being banned from speaking at a university because of her views on Islam, but have never said a word while for years Pamela Geller and I and others who tell the same […]
