>Dawkins does not call Skepchick "muslima"; he addresses the missive to some "muslima" to ironically point out that there are women who suffer far worse sexism than being asked if they'd like a cup of coffee. Reading comprehension problem. He is not saying that Dawkins called Skepchick muslima.

He is saying that Dawkins conjured the made up _victim of Islam_ "muslima", to hypocritically (with "crocodile tears") pretend to defend her plight against the minor plight of Skepchick.

That said, the accusations against Islam (and "pro" muslima) are BS stereotypes that only someone fed and informed on Islam by western media can come up with (including blatant misinformation, like attributing the practice of FGM to Islam).

Full disclosure: I work in a muslim country, and have visited several others.
