Do you think the offer of aid for physical needs is disingenuous?

I certainly do, when the offer of aid becomes contingent upon listening to some evengelical Christian dispute and disparage the recipient's religious heritage, a heritage that goes back thousands of years.

Try a little mind-experiment here... pretend that, due to admittedly improbable circumstances, a tornado went through your town, and the only source of relief was a Muslim organization. How would you feel when they brought their relief package to the remnants of your home and told you "...here are some supplies, but you must understand that your eternal soul is in jeopardy because you are an infidel, worshipping a false deity. Muhammed is the one true God, and you must give up your sinful ways if you are ever to achieve salvation..."

I bet you wouldn't like it very much.
