‘There’s no God and Islam is evil’ speech earns Richard Dawkins ovation from islanders

By DALE MILLER
Published on Saturday 3 November 2012 01:09

RENOWNED atheist Professor Richard Dawkins received a surprise standing ovation in the traditionally Christian community of Stornoway last night, following a two-hour speech in which he said there was probably no God.

The 71-year-old described Islam as “one of the great evils of the world” in his lecture, The God Delusion, as part of a rare visit to the Western Isles.

The talk delivered on Lewis during the Hebrides Book Festival proved a major hit among the 220-strong crowd. There was a waiting list of 60 people for tickets, after the event sold out within 40 minutes.

Members of the audience cheered loudly as Prof Dawkins used the appearance to attack Islam, while stressing that the “vast majority of
Muslims” were not evil, only their religion was.

Prof Dawkins said: “We are terrified of being called ‘Islamophobic’. It is a disgrace a religion prescribes death for leaving it. The vast majority of Muslims would not dream of doing that, but they are taught it in their madrassas… and it only takes a minority to put that into practice. And, as 
we have seen, terrible things happen.”

A group of Christians from the Free Church handed out leaflets outside the book festival venue during the lecture “to give the other side”.

The Rev Iver Martin, minister at Stornoway Free Church – the biggest single church in the
Outer Hebrides – said before the meeting: “A boycott to me is counterproductive. It will achieve nothing.

“I would hope there will be no form of protest. It would send out the wrong type of message."

well i'm leaving in a few days for a trip so maybe put the kibosh on the travel ban for a while.

i do want to travel around quebec, though. i consider it my adopted home. my hope is to get out to quebec city this spring (bus ticket is only about $80 return) and check out a few museums that i haven't seen before. once i have money and a wife i'd like to spend some time in the regions for vacations.

That frog is from television. After 4 arguments were put forth the ppl of the nation were going to abolish TV when a single counter argument was put forth: that frog, peeing with his pants around his ankles. For good or for ill, that frog is our legacy to the future.

richard dawkins was born. richard dawkins spewed messily forth from his mother's distended pre-NHS vagina and inhaled his first breath of 1940s Kenyan air. "YAYAAAAA....GYUNYA KWENYA" said some black guy off camera as a mandrill held the future God Emperor of Atheists up to the rays of a new African dawn

Government officials are begging surgeons to reverse a tracheotomy procedure performed on author Richard Dawkins last Tuesday, which changed his continuous harangue against religion into an ultra-high frequency noise that can shatter glass and leave dogs brain-damaged from up to 500 yards away.
