text: I am sorry to say that Don Cherry is as far from being a Christian as GW Bush Jr. was before he sent the military to Iraq.   They are the western version of the Taliban only claiming to be Christian but in fact following no part of it whatsoever (like Bin Laden claiming to be a follower of Mohamed).  
  
  And yes, those Christians in the ME deserve our prayers and help the same as the Yazidi's and Shia's etc.    
  
  Mr. Richards comment was intended to emphasize the reason for the recent player's protest which is noble; bending a knee to pray to Jesus after a touchdown is not a Christian act.....it is a misguided act that shows the typical American distortion of the teachings of Jesus.
