Atheist Richard Dawkins attacks liberals who defend Islam's homophobia and misogyny

105. No it's not snark, and you should know my history on DU well enough to know that.

To know that I almost never snark just to dismiss adversaries here.

I have zero interest in Richard Dawkins outside of this thread, but since it was posted here and also because it was a topic that was similar to so many other threads about Islam where people like, for example, Elizabeth Hasselbeck used to retort with the caveat stupid shit like 'yeah, but was it in ARABIC? hUH?!'

If it is incumbent on every single liberal in the world to do as Richard Dawkins says, then fuck it, I am henceforth a progressive.

By the way, I make no claims about how you were treated; I make claims about how I was treated as a Catholic being raised during that era. I certainly felt different than my non-Catholic peers, but I never EVER heard anyone demand that I denounce the IRA nor did anyone demand that my priest or parish do so, and I don't recall much in the way of world leaders demanding that the Pope do so; if such demands were made (and they probably were), they didn't make the news because sanctimoniousness was unfashionable. Now that it's the thing, even Richard Dawkins is trying to cash in.
