Richard Dawkins Quotes About Bin Laden
-
Bush and bin Laden are really on the same side: the side of faith and violence against the side of reason and discussion. Both have implacable faith that they are right and the other is evil.

The delusional "next world" is welcome to both of them. This world would be a much better place without either of them.
