Billy Graham’s Son Is Too Christian For Barack Obama’s Army Posted by Erick Erickson (Profile) Thursday, April 22nd at 10:13PM EDT
Billy Graham’s son Franklin, a solid evangelist in his own right, was invited to give the address at the Pentagon’s National Day of Prayer service.
Barack Obama’s administration has revoked the invitation.
Why? Well, it turns out Franklin Graham really believes in Christ and holds that Christ really is “they way and the truth and the life.”
Consequently, Franklin Graham has spoken out about Islam — the only religion to see its followers carry out violent terrorist attacks on the United States in the name of that religion — and its violent ways.
The Council on Islamic-American Relations and other Islamic groups got upset with Franklin Graham pointing out the truth.
So the Obama Administration caved.
Army spokesman Col. Tom Collins confirmed today, that at the Army’s request, the Pentagon Chaplain’s Office had contacted Graham to withdraw the invitation extended to him to be the main speaker at the Pentagon’s observance of the National Day of Prayer.
