Dawkins is a gutless Pommie bastard who has buckled because of the Left's pressure.
He was booked to appear on a current affairs show tonight but was told to bugger off.
Less than 2 hrs before appearing the host got a number of messages from the publicist of Dawkins with a number of demands including:
He would not talk about Islam. This also had a quote from Dawkins himself stating he would not appear if he was to be asked about the religion.
This is strange because he has stated that Islam is the most dangerous religion in the world, so getting questions about the subject should be expected.
He didn't want to be asked to compare Islam to Christianity either.
He did not want to be asked about Lawrence Kraus either.
He did not want to be asked about why he shouldn't be asked about these things either!
He is on a tour down here and lately he has come under fire for saying bad stuff about Islam in America. Obviously the social media from the Left has gone beserk about these comments which is weird because he's been moaning about the religion for years.
Apparently sponsers of the tour have been pulling out because of pressure from the Left. [Once a sponser buckles the blackmailers get their reward and will do it again and again in the future.]
So it seems in the end it's the numbers of books sold and the number of bums on seats on his tours that are the most important thing to him.
Now if these demand were REALLY from Dawkins and his publisher then i am shocked, and have lost a lot of respect for the guy. Of all people, i never thought he'd give in to this type of thing, he always came across as courageous, Christopher Hitchens certainly would never cave in.
Dawkins has discovered there is no such thing as freedom of speech anymore.
