Call Islam “evil” and “wicked,” get invited to speak at the Pentagon. Chris Rodda at Talk to Action posted two letters yesterday that should see more light: the first from Muslims in the military and at the Department of Defense to Mikey Weinstein, president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (and in top running on my would-be-a-great-dinner-guest list); the second from Mikey Weinstein to Secretary Gates at the Pentagon.

At issue is the nature of this year’s National Day of Prayer, to be held on May 6.  MRFF charges that the event is looking more and more like a National Day of Prayer Task Force event than a constitutional, non-sectarian public event. The Task Force, headed by none other than James Dobson‘s wife, Shirley, is a private organization with a rather limited definition of acceptable beliefs. Their current chairman, Franklin Muslims-are-evil-and-wicked-and-I’m-not-apologizing-for-saying-so) Graham is invited, according to recent practice, to speak at the Pentagon’s event.  Unless Weinstein and MRFF — and those who kind of think religious liberty is a good thing — have their say.
