Hi,
It was taken from a discussion on a British newspaper website, the
contribution from Ben Maw about 3/4 of the way down:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/Archive/Article/0,4273,4259535,00.html
That page also has links to the original article by Richard Dawkins, saying
that religion as a whole was responsible for the attacks, and that therefore
all reasonable people should be uniting to get rid of religion. Fanaticisim
is a temptation even for the most 'enlightened' amongst us.
