Unindicted terrorist co-conspirator pressed Army to bar evangelist from prayer event
A Muslim-rights group designated by the Justice Department as a terrorist co-conspirator celebrated its role in the cancellation of evangelist Franklin Graham's appearance at a National Day of Prayer event at the Pentagon.
Graham, the son of evangelist Billy Graham, said his invitation to be honorary chairman at the May 6 Pentagon service was revoked after Muslim members of the military complained about his description of Islam after the 2001 terrorist attacks as "a very evil and wicked religion."Graham explained his 2001 remarks in a Wall Street Journal op-ed piece, saying he didn't believe Muslims were evil because of their faith but, as a minister, he thought it was his "responsibility to speak out against the terrible deeds that are committed as a result of Islamic teaching." It is our responsibility as Christians to speak out against these terrible deeds that are committed in the name of Islam.
