RICHARD Dawkins has received a backlash on Twitter for talking about how Muslims have fewer Nobel Prize winners than Trinity College in Cambridge today.
The author of The God Dellusion said he talked about the number of Muslim Noble Prize winners on Twitter because we often hear 'boasts about their total numbers'.
He tweeted: "All the world's Muslims have fewer Nobel Prizes than Trinity College, Cambridge. They did great things in the Middle Ages, though."
Popular tweeter Catlin Moran said Mr Dawkins should be switched 'off and on' while others condemned his latest outburst about Muslims.
One Twitter user wrote: "Richard Dawkins is the worst thing that ever happened to atheism."
While another posted: "I can name Muslims scholars who contributed more to science than Richard Dawkins."
Mr Dawkins, who was a professor at Cambridge's rival Oxford, said the last time Muslims made worthwhile contributions to science was during the dark ages.

FACTS ARE FACTS AND INSULTING DAWKINS IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE THEM.
