No I wasn't being disingenuous.

I was merely attempting to be fair and show respect and support to a very brave man, who undoubtedly is a target for extremists as he's had the temerity to publicly disagree with their Jihad.

That kind of bravery and commitment transcends race, religion or creed for me.

. . . not bad for a bigot what?

Anyway, I shall leave the players still on the field to finish the game in whatever way floats their boat. Don't you just love metaphors?
