The fact that he is going to the Pentagon for Good Friday services will be played up throughout the Arab media.

Slacker, do you have any idea how many religious groups show up at the Pentagon and other Military installations to give services? The places are full of them. These groups consider the Military to be very fertile ground to get recruits. And they are right. They are talking to young people away from home at an unsettled time in their life. And if they face going into a war zone, they are even better candidates for "Jesus."The press has singled out Graham because he is so well known, and has a connection with the Prez.

In any case, there is nothing to be done about it. But remember, Graham's group is going over there looking for converts, not trouble. And, to be cynical about it, a Muslim converted to Christianity is one less person over there that will hate us.
