Dawkins held Islamic doctrine responsible for the "Charlie Hebdo" shooting. His comments resulted in criticisms from several publications, including "Al Jazeera", "The Guardian", and "Salon", deriding him as Islamophobic. Soon after the attacks, Dawkins tweeted, "No, all religions are NOT equally violent. Some have never been violent, some gave it up centuries ago. One religion conspicuously didn't," referring to Islam.
