Group wants evangelist's Pentagon event canceled
AP via SFGate ^ | 4/20/10 | DAN ELLIOTT, Associated Press Writer

Posted on 04/20/2010 3:40:27 PM PDT by SmithL

A watchdog group objected Tuesday to an evangelist's invitation to speak at the Pentagon next month, saying his past description of Islam as "evil" offended Muslims who work for the Department of Defense and the appearance should be canceled.

Mikey Weinstein, president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, said inviting evangelist Franklin Graham to speak May 6, the National Day of Prayer, "would be like bringing someone in on national prayer day madly denigrating Christianity" or other religious groups.

"would be like bringing someone in on national prayer day madly denigrating Christianity"

No, it wouldn't. The best evidence that it wouldn't is that atheistic cowards like you would be in favor of someone madly denigrating Christianity. Take a hikey, Mikey.

P.S. I wonder how you'd do in the dar-Islam—pick any country—with a name like Weinstein. Does that suggest to you why your comparison of Christianity and the Mohammedan thing is inapt?

[Please note] Mikey Weinstein is a vicious anti-Christian bigot and a liar. Whenever he speaks about Christianity it is with hatred and he consistently uses disease metaphors to refer to Christians and Christianity. He falsely accused Christian Air Force Academy Cadets of harassing his son.

You were asking ...

WHAT THE HELL ARE MUSLIMS DOING WORKING AT THE PENTAGON?!?!?!

Ummmm..., well, they're getting set up and ready to take over and run this country. They need the experience first, on how things work and run so that when tbey take over this country, the transition goes smoothly from a Judeo-Christian country -- to -- a Muslim-run country...

I hope that no one was under the impression that this wasn't going to happen...

See the following from another post of mine...


That evil and oppressive governmental idealogy of Islam and the way of implementing it by Sharia law is already making inroads right here in this country — the good ole USA. We’re about to see a “takeover” of the U.S. by the evil and oppressive idealogy of the government of Islam (that is aiming for world-wide conquest and has stated that the U.S. is *on its list* to take over...)

And for those people who need some additional facts about what the evil and oppressive governmental idealogy of Islam is doing, look at some of the following.

There’s no question about it... the enemy is *Islam* itself and the evil and oppressive and false idealogy that it perpetrates. Some say the problem is “fascism” (instead of the basic oppressive governmental idealogy of Islam, itself). But, that is to engage in “political correctness” and nothing more... and sidetracks people from the *true enemy* in this war.

In one generation we’ll see, right here in the United States that “Islam” is the enemy and not “fascism”...

Muslim Demographics...

and also, this...

Islam: What the West Needs to Know - FULL LENGTH ENGLISH VERSION
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-871902797772997781

and then, looking at this...

“The Third Jihad” (video - abridged version of film)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2271522/posts

This is the allowance of “false gods” to take over this nation because of the ignorance of the people of the land in regards to the true God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob...

And so, we see that we’re going to have the “false god of Islam” ruling over the USA and running the USA in just one generation from now.

Ok, we’ve got an organization of one guy (Weinstein), most likely Jewish, using Muslims to bring down a Christian for so-called “hate speech” and deny him the opportunity to speak at the Pentagon.

If he were a conservative or a Christian, AP wouldn’t give him the time of day. But, since he fits the liberal agenda, he’s gotten free nationwide press today.

I don’t know what makes me more angry: the fact that he’s trying to tear Franklin Graham down, or the platform AP is giving this guy.

Yes, which would be all of the imams invited to speak anywhere in America.

This Weinstein bastige is a “kapo collaborator” of the highest degree, and a completely delusional libtard applehead!
***

“Weinstein founded and heads the Military Religious Freedom Foundation. Its mission is to ensure the separation of church and state in our military — and the right of academy and military members to be free from religious coercion and harassment.

Weinstein recently wrote a compelling book, With God on Our Side: One Man’s War Against an Evangelical Coup in America’s Military, describing the growing evangelical threat to cadets, GIs and veterans who are not fundamentalists.”

We talked with Weinstein recently about the dangerous trend of our armed forces becoming shock troops for Jesus, with the missionary zeal coming from the highest levels.”

$^%^#%^#!
