I've not seen any posts by him as to what ebooks he is reading or in areas outside of religion.

I hear what you're saying, however bigotry cuts both ways. I don't make a point of preaching secularism, or atheism and try to avoid causing offence. I believe that Islamophobia is actually contributing to the increasing spread of Islam. I don't think there's anything to be gained, by accusing someone of being bigoted, whether or not it's true. It's language that's unnecessarily inflammatory. I prefer to coexist peacefully. I enjoy debate, so long as it's civilised. I expect there are people here who hold other faiths, such as Christianity and read the Christian Bible, or followers of Judaism who read the
Hebrew Bible, and so on. So, it really doesn't bother me that Muslims read the
Qur'an. My view is that it is their right to believe in whatever they want to. Equally, I don't believe that I, or any others, have the right to insult anyone, of any faith.
