Dawkins: God ‘bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser’

By Around the Web

(THE WEEK) THE CHIEF Rabbi has accused atheist Professor Richard Dawkins of using an anti-Semitic stereotype in his best-selling book The God Delusion.

Lord Jonathan Sacks complained about a passage in Dawkins’s book in which he says that the God of the Old Testament was the “most unpleasant character in all fiction”.

But Dawkins, an Oxford evolutionary biologist, dismissed the allegation as “ridiculous” and said he was not “anti-Jewish” just “anti-God”, reports The Daily Telegraph.
