Muslims have demanded that Christian evangelist Franklin Graham be booted from yet another National Day of Prayer service, prompting officials with the National Day of Prayer Task Force to condemn as "ridiculous" the idea that religious leaders should be excluded from public events because of their faith statements.
The controversy began when the Army disinvited Graham, president and CEO of Samaritan's Purse and son of famed evangelist Billy Graham, from a prayer service at the Pentagon. Graham said his invitation to be honorary chairman at the May 6 event was revoked after Muslim members of the military complained about his description of Islam after the 2001 terrorist attacks as "a very evil and wicked religion."
Muslim activists then announced they were trying to get him barred from a National Day of Prayer event scheduled with members of Congress, too.
"Moves to exclude any member of this great family from this prayer event represent everything that is wrong with the agenda of political correctness that is rampant in our country," said Shirley Dobson, chairman of the task force and wife of Focus on the Family founder James Dobson.
"Our nations founders wouldn't have tolerated it, and neither should we," she said.
Michael Calhoun, director of strategic communications for the task force, said the day is part of America's heritage and belongs to all Americans.
"It provides an opportunity for citizens to pray voluntarily, according to their own faith and it does not promote any particular religion or form of religious observance. As a non-profit organization, the National Day of Prayer Task Force has held an event at the Capitol for many years," he said.

Get creative.
You & I & 100 million Tea Party Americans.
Muslims have really learned the feigned indignation schtick.
I think their eating
processed pig food
would be more fitting.
It's a start but we can push further at our beginning.
Everyone by a pet pig and name it Muhamed.
Oh, it's coming, I'd venture to guess soon after the November elections. If "commander zero" happens to win a second term I believe that he will reveal that he is a mohammaden.
First sign that islam is winning is when your president bows to the king of mecca.
Notice when the press makes a big deal of an American citizen found to be a terrorist or at least have ties to them, they never mention they are also citizens of an arab country.
As a Jew I can say GOD BLESS Franklin Graham.
Muslims can’t stand to hear the truth about their satanic so-called “religion:.
this is a TOTAL DISGRACE and these mooselimbs MUST be stopped
That indignation isn't feigned. They really do get indignant when anyone fails to submit to their will. That's why they call it Islam. Islam=submission
Amen to that.
I agree with your thoughts. But too many dolts did not do their homework and we are stuck until we can get the constitutional means to get him out of the WH and into Jail along with his whole lot of supporters.
In the meantime, the Congress needs to develop some spine and if the Muzzie’s don’t like it that Franklin is at the prayer day then they can stay away.to hell with them all.

Give an inch...
We need to put an end to this sort of thing. This is
America and they need to adjust. I wish we could stop
them from coming into our country.
What could be done to stop them? Electing people who
would secure our borders?
There was an Australian metal band called Rose Tattoo led by a guy called Angry Anderson. He had this to say a few years back:
Right on, brother!
The Lord will protect the heritage of the Graham family. The goal of the left is to destroy it. The Lord will not play. Pray for the Graham family during this time. (Obama is not only silent, he is directing it).
