There are some very fine people who are from religions of all flavours. I see them and respect them.
This man deserves no defence and I think you’ve picked the wrong time to be Mr Nice Guy and defend the indefensible on this forum. Pick your fights better. You’re better than this.

Les Tyack says he saw a naked George Pell expose himself to three young boys in the Torquay surf club changerooms in the late 1980s.
The businessman said he told his wife and some friends about the incident 15 years ago and gave a statement to Victoria Police five years ago.
But he went public this week in a bid to encourage others to come forward.
"I thought there may be other situations that people have witnessed and have thought about it but never done anything about it," Mr Tyack told AAP on Thursday.
"I've got nothing against the church, nothing against anyone."
Mr Tyack said he regretted not talking to the boys or telling people at the surf club straight away about Cardinal Pell, who was then a senior priest in Melbourne.
"I'm thinking ... I've got no other witnesses ... who's going to believe me?" he said.
"I regretted that for a long, long time."
Mr Tyack said in a summer in the late 1980s he saw Cardinal Pell naked in the change room, facing three boys aged 8 to 10.
"I immediately thought that's odd, an adult doesn't do that in front of three young boys," Mr Tyack told AAP.
After a shower, Mr Tyack came out to find Cardinal Pell still naked in front of the boys, who left when Mr Tyack asked them to.
"I said to Pell, 'George I know what you're up to, piss off, don't come back into this club, if I see you back in here again I'll call the police'," Mr Tyack said.
According to Mr Tyack, Cardinal Pell didn't react and continued to get dressed.
