Reactions against Dawkins' Islamophobic Eid tweet Robbins notes that Dawkins' tweet "is attacking a group of people in a fairly well defined geographical area, associated with a particular set of ethnicities….. In short, he is beginning to sound disturbingly like a member of the far right."
Following the Islam-related tweet which famous atheist Richard Dawkins posted on the first day of the Islamic holiday of Eid Al-Fitr, reactions were voiced against the racism and Islamophobia perceived in the message.
On the Eid holiday's first day, Dawkins posted "All the world's Muslims have fewer Nobel Prizes than Trinity College, Cambridge. They did great things in the Middle Ages, though."
May critical responses to the original tweet were likewise posted over Twitter, questioning the illogical assumptions of Dawkins' comment.
