He decided it's all the Muslims' fault, mostly

Isn't he like a hardcore atheist though? I thought he just hated religion in general.

No that's right, and it would be great if he'd left it at that. But at some point it turned into hatred against Muslims in particular, very bigoted/racist stuff, nothing at all like his anti religion stance with which I agree. Agree religion is all bogus, but Muslims generally are not evil fifth columnists trying to destroy our way of life, backwards goat fuckers imposing Shakira law on all of us infidels. Not a quote, I stopped listening when he started singling out Muslims like that instead of condemning superstition generally without the us vs. them slander.
