Bashing anything is the "best selling plat du jour", whether it's Michael Moore bashing bush, Ann Coulter bashing liberals, Richard Dawkins bashing faith, etc. There's so many things out there to bash: Israel, Bush, China, Bush, Islam, Bush, America, secularism, and did I mention Bush?

(I can't stand Bush myself but seriously, there are only so many books you can write before it's all just repeats of the same information and allegations.)

The difference is that people bashing these things rarely get death threats and fatwas.
