Whether it is or it isn't a Dawkins quote, this kind of attitude - "if you
don't agree with me on X, Y and/or Z, you can f*ck off" - is responsible for
most of the world's problems (and not, continuing the Dawkins theme,
religion) today and throughout history. If it IS by Dawkins, that just goes
to prove the point even more.
