Franklin Graham--son of Billy--disinvited from Pentagon Prayer Day for calling Islam "evil" and saying Christ died for their sins.

Obviously the above isn't suprising since Billy Graham (father of Franklin) had his prejudices (anti-Semitism being one--such as this conversation with then-President Richard Nixon in 1972: http://www.rense.com/general20/billy.htm).

Also remembering Franklin Graham's appearance at the funeral for the high-school students
murdered at Columbine eleven years ago. Not much compassion shown--instead Franklin regarded it as another evangelistic opportunity whistle-stop.

[UPDATE 4/26/10: The timing of this seems like a "get-Franklin-out-of-the-secular-news-cycle" moment: http://www.politicsdaily.com/2010/04/25/obama-pays-his-first-visit-to-billy-graham/]
