'Extremist' Franklin Graham Must Not Pray At Inauguration, Trump's Team Told
2017-01-14
"Franklin Graham should be removed from Donald Trump's inauguration line up, the US' largest Muslim civil rights group said on Thursday. The outspoken conservative pastor and son of evangelist Billy Graham is due to pray at the ceremony next week in Washington.
But the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)
Surprise!
called on the president-elect to drop Franklin, who they described as a "notorious Islamophobe", in order to unite the country.

"If President-elect Trump truly seeks to unite our nation as he promised in his acceptance speech, he will limit the list of those offering prayers at the inauguration to religious leaders who work to bring us together, not to create divisions between faiths," said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad.

"Rev Graham's ill-informed and extremist views are incompatible with the Constitution and with American values of religious liberty and inclusion."

They're a helluva lot more compatible with our Constitution and our values than Islam is. If you don't like our culture, GET OUT. Do it while you still can.

#4  I hope one of Trump's actions is to declare CAIR a terrorist support organization.

#3  Hopefully Trump will place his hand on the Bible during the swearing in ceremony as well. And since Chicago is asking for federal assistance against evil as well, his new head of education places the ten commandments prominently in each school.
