Except Dawkins is 100% anti-Protestant as well, which doesn’t really fit with your glib characterization of what “groups you would assume an older British man dislikes”. I strongly suspect most of this “Dawkins is a bigot” nonsense is really coming from Christians who know that not many people on the Left are going to be sympathetic to their hurt feelings. But because a lot of people confuse criticism of the tenets of Islam with criticism of the ethnicity of groups that historically tend to be Muslim, they can try to attack Dawkins (and atheism in general) by claiming that bigotry rather than all the actual social problems caused by religion and the utter lack of evidence of the existence of the “supreme beings” of religions is the motivating factor of “new atheists”.
