BUTTHURT! It’s a floor wax! It’s a dessert topping!

OK, now that we’ve established the butthurt, let me just state for the record that someone who said these sorts of things about Islam:

loonwatch.com

who was not Richard Dawkins, would get a less warm reception at LGF.

Pat Condell is persona non grata. Why is Dawkins, who says of Condell:

“I am not in favour of banning the burqa, because I am not in favour banning any style of clothing. But I think Pat is right to compare the burqa with a Ku Klux Klan hood or a swastika armband (which shouldn’t be banned either). I think he is right to speak of Islamic fascism, I think he is right to condemn the use of the word ‘Islamophobia’….I think Islam is probably the greatest of all man-made evils in the world today. It takes courage to speak out against it. Pat has that courage. He will be making enough enemies among the Islamofascists. I prefer not to encourage them by attacking him from the other side. “

still persona grata?

If this be butthurt, make the most of it. I think Dawkins is a bit overrated in many ways, but I’m genuinely curious as to why his record of saying about Islam what the wingnuts say, albeit in a cuter accent, doesn’t piss people off.

I haven’t been paying attention to Dawkins much since 2008, so I was unaware of some of his anti-Islam rants and comments.

If he’s supporting Condell, then I have to admit he’s turned to the dark side and should be condemned for his obvious bigotry. A bigotry I had no idea was part of his message.
