Look out mortals. Dawkins is named top thinker: www.guardian.co.uk/books/booksblog/2013/apr/25/richard-dawkins-named-top-thinkerRichard Dawkins named world's top thinker in poll Evolutionary biologist beats four Nobel prize winners for his global influence and significance on the year's biggest questions
On Monday, no doubt manfully resisting efforts to deify or idolise him, the world No 1 will attend the premiere in Toronto of a documentary about his roadshow (with Lawrence Krauss) promoting science and reason.

And yet again demonstrates that he has missed the point completely. The issue was never about 'the shield of religious privilege'. This was not simply about calling Hasan a nutter, it was about the insinuation that his religious beliefs made him incompetent as a professional journalist, and that he should be fired. If anyone had made such an assertion about Doyle or Dowding, they would have been resisted just as strongly.
