Not really, but by the author's own logic that would be a reasonable interpretation of Damin Linker's piece "Atheism's Wrong Turn." The argument--dare I dignify it with that word?--seems to be that Dawkins and his fellow bestselling atheists think religion is vigorously denounce religion, therefore they are implicitly supporting forcible suppression of religion. By the same principle, one could reason that since Linker vigorously denounces the bestselling atheists, he must want to kill them.
I recommended the article heartily. It contains all kinds of other delightful bits, such as the claim that Hume promoted liberal Christianity. More generally, Sam Harris' RSS feed is a wonderful source to go to if you enjoy reading strange nonsense.
