Department of Defense Funded Christian Ministry That Promotes The Glorification of Suicide Bombing


In September 2010, the Department of Defense, via Fort Bragg in Georgia, funded a Christian ministry that two months later was promoting an artist who celebrates suicide bombing as an example of Christian commitment to the cause. Here are the details. Last September 2010, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) staged an evangelical rock concert, "Rock The Fort", at Fort Bragg in Georgia. The base both co-sponsored, endorsed, and even funded the event, which by one estimate cost US taxpayers over $100,000. "Rock The Fort" was billed as being part of an official "spiritual fitness" program.

1. Satan wants us, he chases us every single day in uncountable ways..

We have to become and remain "spiritually fit" in order to outrun Satan.

2. Wow - that's rich.

I think congress needs to start cutting the defense budget first anyway but WTF is that.

3. Geography Problem

Ft. Bragg is located in North Carolina, not Georgia.

6. That money could have been spent on education of our children...

Someone should explain how they have so much money to spend on a concert, but not on other programs that need help.

I don't trust this younger Billy Graham. Not sure why.
