Agreed.
What I have found interesting on these threads is that the anti-Graham folks have stated what Rev. Graham *said* is reason for him to be censored. But I think the true source of their ire is what Rev. Graham *thinks*.
What exactly do you mean by that? That's crazy talk.
Graham thinks a lot like President Bush--he's a conservative Christian. What he thinks about Islam is probably different than what Bush thinks, and what he says about it is unacceptable for a public figure representing our government in any capacity. He isn't being brought to the Pentagon to share his tactical genius or give a presentation about a new weapons system, he's there to share his opinion, and it's an odious opinion.
My question is, how can Bush and Rumsfeld be so STUPID as to allow this to happen? This is INCREDIBLY STUPID. Muslims the world over are going to see Franklin Graham, avowed and unapologetic Islam-hater, invited to the PENTAGON to talk with our top guys. Muslims around the world are going to say this is proof there is a crusade against Islam. This is STUPID, SHAME on whoever planned this and SHAME on whoever isn't taking action to stop it.
