The epitome of enlightenment @RichardDawkins. Comparing the faith that inspires 1.8 billion people around the world to cancer, and less than two weeks after the NZ massacre, doesn’t give oxygen to homocidal racists AT ALL.
“I hate cancer.”.“Aha, so you hate cancer sufferers. Bigot!”. The principal sufferers from Islam are Muslims. Especially women and homosexuals. Muslimophilia can inspire and justify Islamophobia.
