Huh?

… British fear of Islamists and Saudi fears about atheists are two sides of the same coin | Brian Whitaker | Comment is free | The Guardian.

The treatment chosen by the Saudi government was to amend its anti-terrorism law to classify “calling for atheist thought in any form or calling into question the fundamentals of the Islamic religion” as a terrorist act.
I find the new atheists annoying, but I don't recall that Professor Dawkins or any of the others have committed any terrorist acts. The good professor may think we theists are fools, but I don't think he intends us any bodily harm. Anyway, I always thought there was a difference between thought and act.
