#2 I'm sure Olajuwon truly was duped by these scumbags.

His generosity is legendary. When the Nigerian soccer team arrived in the US for the Women's World Cup, they had shabby uniforms and not enough decent boots.

Olajuwon reached into his own pocket and bought the entire team top of the line uniforms and shoes so that they wouldn't be embarrased.

That's hardly the gesture an Islamist would make...they don't even like men running around in shorts. That anti-woman prejudice is probably what caused them to have no gear in the first place.

#3 He could start by donating an equivalent amount to 9/11 victims. Then, he could convince us of his sincerity by becoming a voice for Islamic moderation, using his status as a sports star to loudly condemn violence. This would go a long way towards making me believe he was innocently duped, and might start a larger movement towards strong condemnation of Islamic fascists.

But it won't happen, I think.
