he said he finds Islam offensive and wants Muslims to know that Jesus Christ died for their sins. The Pentagon's chaplain office called those comments inappropriate and, at the request of the Army, withdrew Graham's invitation to attend a multi-denominational "National Day of Prayer" service that was held in the Defense Department auditorium.

He came anyway, arriving in the Pentagon parking lot just before 8 a.m. EDT - his party of a half dozen people forming a circle on the sidewalk and praying.

Well well, Franklin has some fortitude after all. Three cheers for Franklin, well said young man.

Acts 4:29

Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.

God wants us to be bold like Christ and Franklin you surely were.

Franklin's stance is not a popular one these days. I'm impressed that he is still willing to take it in spite of backlash that he'll undoubtedly face in the liberal media. Kudos to him for refusing to back down. Praying God opens more hearts and minds to the truth of the Bible!

Of course, I bet what Graham said about Islam is mild compared to what Jesus has to say about it. :cool:
