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 Graham said his invitation to be honorary chairman at the May 6 event was revoked after Muslim members of the military complained about his description of Islam after the 2001 terrorist attacks as "a very evil and wicked religion."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 nation’s 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.

Tell’m to go eat pork!!
Earth to Pentagon: Stop caving in to angry Muslim demands. Or you’ll just get more and more of them.
It’s time for Americans to “boot” the Muzzies. This is OUR country, not theirs.
You know he is striking at their hearts if the are protesting him so much. No one protests the ineffectual.
Backdoor way to limit first amendment protected speech. bastards.
Well, now we can see that it is not a religion; what is it going to take to prove to people that Islam is a military and political movement.
Who do we contact, what can we do in support of Franklin Graham, well and Christians in general?????
Anyone?
But if we made things difficult and banned all addition immigration of thier kin, closed seditious mosques, the unpatriotic Muslims would leave ontheir own accord. As for the remained just demand that they support the US Constituion and reject world-wide Sharia.
That’s right.
The prick in the WH is really getting under my skin. I grew up with Billy and his son went astray for a few years. He came back to his father’s arms and into Gods grace.
Just what the “F” is going on with our once christian country. Everything was OK till the Bummer moved in.
He has no right to take over our Country as he is not a Natural born Citizen and has no right to soil our country like this.
Start with Jesus.

Well, first we stop accepting them here. Then we start expelling those here illegally and then expel those who are criminals. Then we can expel those who are preaching jihad against the American people. Etc., etc.
I cannot post what I think. Unbelievable.
It wasn’t Islam that built this country. Christianity built the West!
This is the same Pentagon that did not mention “Muslim, Islam, Jihad” or any other such word in the Ft. Hood review. Then they deny attendance of a member of probably America’s most well-known christian families to a day of prayer.
Islam=Religion of Peace
Reverend Jeremiah Wright=just a humble preacher from Chicago’s southside
Franklin Graham=the real threat to all religions getting along
Israel=the cause of all the unrest in the Middle East
What’s next? How about we make the month of Ramadan a national holiday in place of Christmas and Easter. Maybe then the Muzzies will like us.
Right On - Right On - Right On!!!
