Dear Mr. Weinstein,
Shame on you and the person reading this email (staff). It appears that you (and your staff) will not rest until you are succeed in removing the name Jesus Christ from any aspect of the military, while others like you work to remove His name from all aspects of public life. At the same time, judges and the ACLU work to remove the ‘historical’ Christian foundation of this nation from the public square. As a Jew, you are making a grave mistake in your misguided efforts, as you believe tolerance and equal standing, especially towards Muslims, will insure your place amongst equals. To make the excuse that Mr. Graham’s appearance at the Pentagon would put our troops in jeopardy, is a lie and you know it. It really only serves your purposes, and those of your organization, and has nothing to do with your misleading statements. What really puts our troops in jeopardy is not Christianity, or the Savior who died on the Cross for our sins, but an Islam that speaks often of their hate towards the “infidels”, especially Jews. I assure you, Israel is not concerned with America’s Christians leaders (Mr. Graham included), nor Christian evangelists, but the growing fanaticism of a resurgent Islam. Why you (and those working for you) feel threatened and angry at true Christianity (those that speak of Jesus as the Savior of the World) when so much evil is evident everywhere one looks today, is amazing. I can think of a scripture that would apply as follows: “Professing to be wise, they became fools.”
Be careful what you wish for, for as men (and women) like you push the Christ the Savior further and further out of the public square it will be filled with other voices, and then you only be able to look back on your efforts and realize- you were indeed a fool.

PS I do not have any association with Mr. Graham or his organization, but am speaking as a Christian and as an American, in that order.
