Courageous of Richard Dawkins to bear this standard, and timely too. If we continue to do nothing, the Third World War will be a war of the superstitions - a nuclear-armed Islam against a nuclear-armed Christian/Jewish entity.

It's time to stand up and say loudly, a plague on all your houses, and an end to your prating tripe.
