Dawkins writes: "...I do everything in my power to warn people against faith itself, not just against so-called 'extremist' faith. The teachings of 'moderate' religion though not extremist in themselves, are an open invitation to extremism."
Yet, his own religion of atheism is based on faith! His presumptions on the origin of life are clearly based on his (faith) belief in non-intelligent design. Those who adopted this form of Dawkinsian/Darwinian faith, a.k.a. atheism, were also prone to extremism as we have already seen in the lives of Marx, Stalin, Hitler and others.
Richard Dawkins has no way of attacking faith based extremism without his aim coming around back again towards himself. 
He continually points out specific horrific examples of human behavior while admitting that the vast majority of people with a moderate faith-based ideology never entertain such atrocities. Hence his reasoning should lead the reader to the conclusion that individuals are responsible for evil and those individuals come from all backgrounds, both atheist and theist.
The misanthropic teachings of Dawkinsian atheism are an open invitation to extremism just as much as any other aberrant ideology. Dawkins encourages a 'religion' based on assumptive reasoning and fueled by an indignant hatred towards all other religions but his own.
