Joke of an award. This @Javedakhtarjadu criticized none of the practices of his own religion, but puts on a convenient “Atheist” hat while justifying all the types of special pleading he does for his religion.

Also, “rationalism” is inherently rooted in a Biblical world-view where every phenomenon needs to be justified on the basis of a historical principle of causality. The chain of causality leads to the “Primal Cause” (which a straightforward honest Muslim would call “Allah”).
Richard Dawkins and his fan boys seem to have neither commonsense in how they choose awardees, nor an awareness of how philosophical discussions on “rationality” even occurred in history, as a dialogue between Christians and Muslims seeking to convert each other! See Ramon Llull.
I hope that with this brilliant move, Dawkins will cure zillions of his Indian fan boys off their neo-atheistic fad. When the shit hits so clearly on the fan, with the example of Akhtar getting the award, it becomes impractical to pose about “rationality” and other such nonsense.
