Sorry to intrude. But I think that SR is right on this issue. The worst thing that USA can do is mixing religion with liberation, it will be EXTREMELY negative to the States. Muslims do not believe in freedom of religion and they do not accept any non muslim preaching among them, if we impose it it will go directly into the fundamentalists benefit, lets just hope they will learn about democracy, that would be enough for now. By the way is there any non muslim preaching in the Kingdoms of our friends: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the Emirates, Bahrain , etc.?

This issue has nothing at all to do with freedom of religion... In many ways it's a test that will reveal the real purpose of Graham's organization. It should perhaps be noted that many people, not all of them Muslims, believe that aggressive evangelism is not compatible with freedom of religion. I will leave it right there with your last comments because you and I will not find common ground. You assume Graham's actions will be unseemly before he has done anything. I assume that folks would prefer to select their own religion and not have the government mandate their religious practices. PS. Evangelism is hardly new. Every religion I can think of (including atheism) (except Judaism) openly and continuously recruits new members where allowed.
