People have the right to not be offended....however, similar to how theists fail to understand the burden of proof, people often seem to miss that the burden of being offended (or not) lies solely within themselves.

@JagjeetMann You COMPLETELY misunderstood my point....

Why did they even interview someone who hasn't even read the book? and It's clear which side she will choose. She's on the 'it's like, i mean' side

Ummm...I am a muslim. But I must say that I have a great Respect for Prof Richard Dawkins.

if you find the book offensive,it is because of the idea that all the things you believed for years could be wrong.some part of you knows that the book may be telling the truth but you cant except the fact that you may have lived your life by bunch of lies someone made up.so you deny it and think, how could he say these things that makes me who i am. anyway, afterall, if you find it offensive, just stop reading the fucking book morons. nobody is forcing you to read it.

Hi everybody, I didn't read the book that you're discussing, but you should interview me halfway around the world so that I can talk about the impact of its content. Hurray!

ok, if religious people are offended by someone talking to them about the posibility of a godless universe.

How do they think atheists feel (especially in the muslim world) who don't believe in god, and don't want to be preached at?

Dont they think non-believers find their preaching offensive?

It works both ways, just because you subscribe to a religion is doesn't give you extra rights and privileges

This is less of a "have your say", more of a "get Richard Dawkins on the show, then get as many angry theists as we can to email, phone and video link questions at him until he slips up, or ends up punching someone" lol. seems a bit unfair, but i'm very sure Richard can handle himself ;3
