I am not clear how you separate what he said from what he believes. He said what he believes. We do not regulate speech in this country, especially religious speech. He owes no apology for his beliefs any more than Muslims owe an apology for theirs.

You are confusing his right to hold beliefs and his right not to be discriminated against. If you are looking for someone with an opinion, you are allowed to discriminate on the basis of their opinion. It is not a question of whether he should be allowed by law to speak at this event at the Pentagon, it is a question of whether it is wise to have him speak there.

it is a question of whether it is wise to have him speak there. No matter who speaks at the W.H. at any given time, someone is going to think that choice was unwise.

Is this truly all it is to you?

Do you or do you not support disinviting Rev. Graham?

And if you do support disinviting him, on what exactly do you base your opinion?
