“Throughout our interview, Minchin worries about getting himself in trouble. This does not stop him from saying the kinds of things that might get him in trouble. For instance, on Richard Dawkins: “Look at poor old Dawks. I don’t care whether Richard says outrageously anti-Islamic [things] – not because I don’t care about Islamophobia: I do care if someone’s racist – it’s just that he’s not an icon to me. He’s just a guy who wrote a really good book.”
