#1 He has sparked fury among Muslim groups, who have accused him of being "ignorant" and "Islamophobic".

I view that as a badge of honor. Your not Islamophobic if it's real. It's not like there are not plenty of justification for having such feelings--just an honest guy. Yea for Professor Dawkins for not being PC.

#2 well LA te DAH. When is he gonna advocate snatching Muslim kids from their parents and raising them to be atheists, like he's advocated to be done to Christian kids?

Methinks the man is gonna quickly discover that Mohammed and Jesus differ radically in the way they react to being spat in the face.

#4 Two obvious differences between a bin liner (trash bag) and burqa:
1) a bin liner lacks eye holes
2) no one was ever killed for not putting a bin liner over their head.

#5 Bin liners make excellent emergency raincoats, just poke a couple of holes in the ends to see out of.
