Have any of the New Atheists toured [[Islam]]ic countries giving lectures in which they condemn [[Allah]], [[Muhammad]], Islam, or Muslims? Have any of them debated Muslims in Islamic countries? Have any of them been interviewed on Al Jazeera? Have any of them written entire books in which they condemn Allah, Muhammad, Islam, or Muslims? Have they done anything of the sort at all?

The answers to all of the above are: "No." Rather, what they have done is sit within the comfort and safety of countries based on [[Christianity|Christian]] principles and conveniently launched condemnations which are roughly quantifiable as being 90% anti-Christian and 10% anti-other religions (and this may be being too generous an estimation).<ref>[http://www.truefreethinker.com/articles/atheism-new-emergent-atheists-part-4-4 Atheism - The New (Emergent) Atheists, part 4 of 4 - Is The New Atheist Movement Dead?]</ref>}}
