If Graham attended a government event and made the comment that Islam is evil I could see your point. But that is not what happened. He was asked what he thought of Islam in an interview and he told the truth. Who has followed around the Muslim employees you speak of and picked up their beliefs about Christians or, better yet, Jews?

It is not fair or constitutional to banish Graham for his religious beliefs any more than it would be right to fire the Muslim employees for theirs. All Christians think Islam is wrong. Do we exclude all of them or only the ones who actually express their beliefs in public? If a Muslim can think Graham is an infidel, why can't Graham think a Muslim has an evil religion. (He didn't say Muslim's were evil, btw.)

Is it possible that your view is partly formed by your own negative feelings about Christianity in general?

Your last comment is so far off mark, it is not even a good guess. Deal with the issues and stop trying to analysis the source of the comment.

Graham had a right to do what he did and the employees have a right to ask their employer to not have this insulting person speak at their work site. Seems simple to me. No one has been banished. You overstate the action of not having him there.

PS: the comment is just as insulting to good people whether he or not he said it at a government facility. The local of the comment is not an issue.
