I don't think it's bigotry, just ignorance and gross over-simplification.
I can't see how economic factors would be a problem for islamic countries there's a few Islamic countries far far richer than the UK where Cambridge is.
Also I imagine dawkins is making a point of saying this because of the amount of muslims who claim that Islam is an open minded scientific religion.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
