Dawkins letter is a great example of why I don't like him. It's the fallacy of relative privation--a well known logical fallacy.
"X is worse' never seems to work on the people who love using it so much.
"You're okay with gay people being fired just for being gay?"
"Well, at least we don't throw them off buildings!"
"STARBUCKS HAS RED CUPS WITHOUT THE WORD CHRISTMAS ON THEM!? PERSEUCTION!"
"Christians in other countries are being killed for their beliefs."
"Yeah, but we already hate muslims, so we can cry about Red cups too."
