In which case down goes his claim to be genuine, not like other politicians and say what he thinks.
If he's telling people what they want to hear in order to get elected, at the expense of the principles he apparently holds dear, that speaks badly of him.
It's a no-win when you come out with some of the things he has and associate with some of the groups and people he has.
If he's telling Muslims he's against free speech and fair criticism when he actually holds more liberal views in order to win their votes he's a duplicious excrement. If he places religious sensitivities above a human right he's at best illiberal.
EDIT: A number of other words came to mind besides illiberal but I'm trying not to be overly emotive.
