"Until 9/11, Islam didn’t figure in the New Atheists’ attacks in a prominent way. As a phenomenon..."

Dawkins, Harris, Hitchens: New Atheists flirt with Islamophobia

Flirtation is an understatement.

Dawkins, in a recent rant on Twitter, admitted that he had not ever read the Quran, but was sufficiently expert in the topic to denounce Islam as the main culprit of all the world’s evil: “Haven’t read Koran so couldn’t quote chapter and verse like I can for Bible. But [I] often say Islam [is the] greatest force for evil today.” How’s that for a scientific dose of proof that God does not exist?

A few days later, on March 25, there was this: “Of course you can have an opinion about Islam without having read the Qur’an. You don’t have to read “Mein Kampf” to have an opinion about Nazism.”

It’s an extraordinary feat for an Oxford scholar to admit that he hasn’t done the research to substantiate his belief, but what’s more extraordinary is that he continues to believe the unsupported claim. That backwards equation — insisting on a conclusion before even launching an initial investigation — defines the New Atheists’ approach to Islam. It’s a pompousness that only someone who believes they have proven, scientifically, the nonexistence of God can possess.

Morally corrupt assholes with raging boners for capitalist wars in the name of cleansing this world of vile Islam. Remember when Hitchens was told that nearly 6,000 Iraqis were killed right after the US invasion of Iraq and he replied, “The death toll is not nearly high enough”? Good ol’ I’m-not-violent Hitchens. Remember when Harris advocated for racial profiling (get those filthy brown Muslims out) to protect America? Good ol’ I’m-not-racist Harris. Remember when Dawkins admitted he never really read the Quran he seems to hate so passionately? Good ol’ I-am-not-biased Dawkins.

Fuck these white self-proclaimed rationalist militant atheists!

And this is why I worry when i say I’m an atheist, because all too often it’s thought to be shorthand for a racist bastard, on top of the whole “omg godless” thing.
