On April 22, 2003 The Washington Post reported that "Muslims were upset that Franklin Graham, who had condemned Islam as evil, preached at the Pentagon last week. Now comes word that the White House held a private briefing for 141 evangelical Christian leaders March 27 to discuss the Iraq war and other subjects... Those invited included Jerry Falwell, who apologized last year for calling the prophet Muhammad a 'terrorist,' and broadcaster Marlin Maddoux, who has proclaimed an 'irrefutable connection' between Islam and terror. Also invited were the president of the Southern Baptist Convention, which is sending food to Iraq labeled 'grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ,' and Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, who said Iraqis are 'desperately in need of the gospel.' Invited, too, was D. James Kennedy, whose ministry published an article calling Islam 'one of the greatest challenges to Christianity...' A White House spokesman said Bush does not share these views and that similar briefings were held for groups such as veterans and think tanks."
