Harris' continuing mistake is that he simply fails to understand what is wrong about profiling specific targeted groups of human beings, doing his best to say that he's not crossing any lines by lowballing with straw men containing “racial” or “ethnic”. And each time he does, there is a collective slap across the globe as faces are buried into palms. And, like that oil leak that BP couldn't put out in the Gulf of Mexico, he keeps spewing this crap out.
Instead of learning from this, Dawkins has been re-iterating the same tired old arguments as Harris that causes people to think that he's using atheism as a Trojan horse for racism.
Now, I have to say that I'm quite a fan of Dawkins. I rather liked the Selfish Gene, and even though I had issues with certain parts of The God Delusion, I still thought it was excellent. But what I find frustrating is that Dawkins doesn't appear to understand where the line has been crossed.
