[cancel2 2022]

British scientist had been due to talk at California event about his new book

The event was cancelled by radio station KPFA, which cited 'hurtful' remarks about Islam

In 2013 Dawkins branded Islam 'the greatest force for evil in the world' in tweet

The writer has hit back, claiming Islam gets a 'free pass' from criticism

They had booked him to deliver a speech but shit themselves at the last minute. I said California is the epicentre of political correctness the other day and Bill objected. So Bill care to make a comment?

PC has little to do with it. CA is against the 1st amendment. Wish they'd secede. They're too different from the rest of us.

California seceding would take with it over 14% of the Nation's GDP, who is going to make up the difference, Wyoming?

Seem like a good idea at the time

Why are you so worried over an obscure author with extreme views being canceled from a radio show?

Why does it need to be "made up"?

Although, to be fair, they did have a revolution to be able to ignore all that.

I'll defend Dawkins and criticize the CA radio station in this instance.

It's not often I'll defend Dawkins.

Why? They, and keep in mind it is a radio program, scheduled him, and upon later review didn't like something he said, and was canceled, that's their prerogative

Tiger Woods gets picked up for DWI and loses sponsorship appearances, how is it any different?
