Why don't you pretty much then once try to understand why he would do this?
What is the sense of verbally attacking the worshipping of the God of fruitbats which is common with the ungubungi tribe living around the south-western Amazon banks?
If you have an opinion like his it is very normal to attack the 'religion in charge'......the religion that is used by the powers of the world in order to keep the people stupid.
Why would he want to discuss with Jemenite tribes about genetics if these people still chop of hands of thieves and give women the same status as cattle? Even when he would I don't think he would sell many books there either.
So you can use big words to describe why you don't like Dawkins, but first, his opinions and choices are very logical, so 2nd the reason why you tell us you don't like him is silly, and 3rd for sure he also has problems with Islam and other religion as well as with the chinese goverment etc......but if everybody who writes a book needs to spell out his or her opinions on everything in order for you to like them.....they would use quite a lot of extra pages.....I think they would not find this worth the trouble.
