Ratzinger is an enemy of humanity | Richard Dawkins
The pope's attack on atheists and secularists was disgraceful and redolent of the sound of stones hurled within a glass house Richard Dawkins has contacted the Guardian to strongly deny that he compared Roman Catholics to Nazis, rather he said that Hitler was a Roman Catholic. Here is a longer version of his speech, which has been edited by the Guardian subject to normal editorial constraints. Sho
Christians and Muslims (Published 2010)

Huntington theorized about the “clash of civilizations.†The journalist and poet Eliza Griswold takes on the same topic in a much more visceral way: she traveled through the “torrid zone†to see, smell, taste and write about it.
