Dawkins Speaks Out Against Muslim Creationists in the UK
Some welcome news to me:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1041089/Atheist-Richard-Dawkins-blames-Muslims-importing-creationism-classrooms.html
Devout Muslims are importing creationist theories into science and are not being challenged because of political correctness, one of the country's most famous scientists said tonight.
Professor Richard Dawkins argued that as a result teachers were promoting the 'mythology' of creationism over the science of evolution.
I am really glad to see a noted left-wing scientist and atheist publicly speaking against the insertion of Muslim mythology into the classroom. Too many atheists don't seem to grasp that being "atheist" means disbelief in all religions, not just Christianity. And, from that mistake, atheists often wind up condemning Christianity as a threat to their own freedom of belief, while pooh-poohing the threat of Islam.
I really hope that the British Muslims go nuts over this, rant, threaten and demonstrate, and hence demonstrate to other left-wing atheists that they are not their friends.
Kudoes to Richard Dawkins for his courage in speaking out.
