DENVER The Army is considering whether to rescind an invitation to evangelist Franklin Graham to appear at the Pentagon amid complaints about his description of Islam as evil, a military spokesman said Wednesday.
Graham, the son of famed evangelist Billy Graham, was to appear at the Pentagon on May 6 on what is the National Day of Prayer. He said he will be a guest of the Pentagon and will speak only if he's still invited.
Army Col. Tom Collins said withdrawing the invitation "is on the table," but no decision has been made. He said Army brass will have the ultimate decision on whether to pull the invite.

The Army is considering whether to rescind an invitation to evangelist Franklin Graham to appear at the Pentagon amid complaints about his description of Islam as evil, a military spokesman said Wednesday. The same version of the US Army that repeatedly gave Nadil Hasan a pass despite his repeated death threats against non-muslims and contacts with Al Qaeda.

I don't expect the Army to come out and agree that Islam is evil, but given the fact that it's true I wouldn't expect them to blacklist someone who is speaking the truth either.

this is the same army that kept a muslim doctor on staff even though he openly fantasized about cutting off the heads of nonmuslim colleagues

Why not invite Omar Abdel-Rahman, the Blind Sheikh, to address them on this National Day of Prayer? Give him a free pass and promise to be nice to him.

YEAH ARMY NOW WE KNOW YOU ENCOURAGED HASAN.
Wouldn’t want anyone to consider the filth he CONSTANTLY spewed as wrong.
OR are you afraid Graham might incite the Islamofascist that have infiltrated the Military.

No.... say it isn't so!?
But the Pentagon and even on the hill we'll invite radical Imams to speak. That of course because we're “open minded, culturally sensitive, bla bla bla.”

I’ve read a few articles of late that seem to indicate the armed forces are becoming liberalized. Of course, look at what they have for a commander in chief.

I would hate to think that there aren’t people in the US Army who have the guts to stand up to a challenge from an Islamophile.
