In defence of the Pope (and yes, Richard Dawkins is a fool)

Some, (too) clever minds in England, are trying to legally prosecute a man coming to our shores in September.

They want to arrest him. They want to strip away his immunity because they think he needs one (!), they want to ask him tough questions (whatever that means) and, above all, prosecute him for crimes against humanity.

Big stuff, isn’t it?

Now, who do you think they are talking about? Three options for you:

a) Osama Bin Laden
b) Fidel Castro
c) Pope Benedict the XVI

Difficult choice, yes, between a and b, but actually the “right” answer is c!

Oh yes, because according to Richard Dawkins, the world famous scientist and author of the God Delusion, the Pope is the man to stop, to silence, to arrest, to prosecute because of “crimes against humanity”.

The reason for this, he claims, is that the Pope is covering up the child abuse scandal in the Catholic Church. The God-hater Dawkins, who in the past called the Pope a Nazi and a leering villain in a frock, also claims that Pope Benedict the XVI is the man responsible for people dying of AIDS in Africa…

Dawkins’ claims are easily brushed aside. The Pope has not covered up the child abuse scandal but has dealt with the situation in its own way, and if that way is not the one Dawkins likes it is not his business. Secondly, people are dying in Africa because of AIDS because over there they f#@k around rather too much, and it is not the word of a Pope that can make much of a difference.

It is easy to grasp that the real issue instead is that Richard Dawkins is a fundamentalist atheist that has decided to focus his energy in trying to undermine religion whenever he can. That is his brand, his credo and probably his purpose in life.

I don’t agree with him on almost anything but I could at least respect him if he had the guts to be tough on any religion, when in fact he is just against Christianity. Has he ever publicly said anything about… Islam?

Let me think for a minute, did Dawkins ever say anything about Abu Hamza preaching hatred and murder in the Finsbury Park mosque? Or did he or his followers had anything to say when Islamic extremist Yusuf Al-Qaradawi preached to kill the Jews while in London, invited, by the way, by then mayor of London Ken Livingstone?

No, he did bloody not say a bloody word. Dawkins is against religion but if you are an Islamic preacher willing to kill Jews that is fine and why is that? Is Dawkins either not aware of Islam being a religion or is he shitting in his pants at the thought of a fatwa?

Instead, Dawkins talks rubbish about the Pope because he knows the “old villain in a frock” will not do any harm to him, and the lawyers of this country are always ready to take a fight for pointless causes.

Anyway, the Pope will be coming to the United Kingdom in September whether Dawkins likes it or not and if you agree with what I wrote and you do welcome the Pope in the UK, please sign the petition below:
