Franklin Graham Stands By Islam Comments, Awaits Decision on Appearance at Pentagon's

Evangelist Franklin Graham is sticking by his remarks about Islam, including that Muslims are "enslaved" by their religion, even as he faces being uninvited from the Pentagon's National Day of Prayer service on May 6.

Franklin, the son of famed evangelist Billy Graham, told Fox News on Thursday that he loves Muslim people and wants them to know that God loves them, even if they can be saved only through Jesus Christ.

"I want them to know that they don't have to die in a car bomb, don't have to die in some kind of holy war to be accepted by God. But it's through faith in Jesus Christ and Christ alone," Graham said.

Graham said said he loves the Muslim people, just not their religion -- which he called "horrid" for its restrictions on women.

The US Military respects Islam, why not Christianity?

their religion -- which he called "horrid" for its restrictions on women.

Something the hags at NOW and other western "women's rights" orgs would never have the guts to say.

Good point!

Do they ever disinvite a Muslim from visiting the Pentagon because maybe he said something negative about Jews or Christians? It’s good, in a way, that Christians should be held to a higher standard, but I seriously doubt that that is what motivates the higher levels of the Pentagon, which have been seriously broken at least since the days of clinton.

Franklin’s continuing stance, is known as, “CHOOSE THIS DAY WHOM YOU WILL SERVE”. He has chosen the correct winning side of Jesus Christ. Who does the Pentagon think most troops pray to while engaged in battle, and WHO preserved us in our wars against evil, especially in WW II?

Cuz the CiC is a Muslim.

"I want them to know that they don't have to die in a car bomb, don't have to die in some kind of holy war to be accepted by God. But it's through faith in Jesus Christ and Christ alone," Graham said.

Preach it, Franklin!

Bravo, Franklin Graham.
Given the muslims singular lack of achievement over the
last 1500 years and the fact that they have been a royal
pain in the a-s for everyone including their coreligionists
it is a wonder that the West would be so foolish as to tremble at their threats.

Is the top brass sliding towards the Dark Side? This sounds really bad and will cost support for our military.

Franklin Graham has more guts than South Park does.

When you’re speaking the gospel truth, you don’t need to back down.

I personally think it’s more likely that Obama’s an atheist, but he’s clearly sympathetic to Islam.

Graham, told Fox News on Thursday that he loves Muslim people and wants them to know that God loves them, even if they can be saved only through Jesus Christ.

"I want them to know that they don't have to die in a car bomb, don't have to die in some kind of holy war to be accepted by God. But it's through faith in Jesus Christ and Christ alone,"

Sounds pretty much like what you would expect from a Christian minister. What's the problem?

[Uri’el-2012]

He has been quoted as saying he loves the Muslim call to prayer.
