Bigot! The principal sufferers from Islam are Muslims. "I hate cancer," Dawkins tweeted Tuesday. Muslims are Islam's main victims," he tweeted Tuesday.ĭawkins then compared how people who label Islam's critics as "bigots" are blaming the victims, rather than what he sees as the inherently bigoted system within which they exist. (Justifiable) Islamophobia is poles apart from (bigoted) Muslimophobia.
Dawkins, author of The God Delusion (2006), is revered as one of the world's leading atheist voices and routinely criticizes all organized religions.ĭawkins took his latest shot at fundamentalist Islamic regimes by noting Brunei's defense of Sharia death penalty for gays: "To obey Allah's command as written in the Quran.' So you'd better not object or you'll be accused of Islamophobia & Cambridge will de-platform you. His comments are often chastised by LGBTQ and religious equality advocates.
Dawkins frequently attempts to point out what he views as Western liberal hypocrisy by criticizing brutal and archaic Islamic governments. The University of Oxford evolutionary biologist was derided as "Islamophobic" for his Tuesday Twitter comments about a Vice News article detailing Brunei Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah implementing a law for stoning and whipping individuals accused of being gay in the largely Sunni Muslim country. Renowned atheist author Richard Dawkins ridiculed reports the predominately Muslim nation of Brunei plans to make homosexuality punishable by death, provoking his critics to once again accuse him of anti-Islamic "bigotry."
