SAD DAY, INDEED

The Army's decision to abrogate its invitation to Evangelist Franklin Graham (who was slated to be the keynote speaker at next month's National Day of Prayer event at the Pentagon) is a stunning act of conspicuous cowardice. The verdict (handed down by military bureaucrats who labor feverishly in the fields of political correctness) was based on the fact that Graham called Islam an "evil" religion.

Graham's reason for labeling Islam evil is--in my unwavering estimation--dead center. Why? Because the religion is an historically destructive dogma, which not only foments the violent genocide of all non-adherents (think Armenian Christians)--but also teaches that women are nothing more than subservient objects. The latter--which the reverend has discussed infinitum--is evident in a vast majority of Islamic countries (including so-called mainstream ones such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia) that execute women for simply appearing in public without a male overseer.

The Army (which I profoundly respect) seems to be taking its cue from the Muslim Brotherhood--a rabid terrorist organization that profusely campaigns for the elimination of all forms of criticism against Islam.

It is a very sad day, indeed--when one of our nation's most venerated institutions has apparently sided with an organization whose modus operandi is: Death to America!
