Graham v. Obama: Preacher's Kid Knocks President Over Islam Stance
politics daily ^ | 5/5/10 | David Gibson

Posted on 05/05/2010 10:11:53 AM PDT by Nachum

Evangelist Billy Graham is 91 years old now and spends his waning days at his mountaintop retreat in North Carolina meeting -- when his health permits -- with fortunate pols like Sarah Palin, as he did last November, or Barack Obama, as he did last week. But "America's Pastor" largely stays out of partisan politics these days, preferring to meet leaders of either party for some spiritual counseling and a photo-op.

In Graham’s words and he hit the nail on the head.

“”I’m certain that some of the men around him are very much opposed to what we stand for and what we believe,” Graham said. He said the pattern of hostility dated to the Clinton years, and that after the evangelical-friendly Bush administration, the federal government has returned to a pattern of “hostility” toward Christians that he said foretells a coming persecution.

“I’m being restricted from my religious rights and from what I believe,” Graham said of his dismissal from the Pentagon service.

Even more galling, he added, is that at the same time that Christians are being repressed, Islam is being given special treatment.

“I just don’t understand why the president would be giving Islam a pass,” Graham told Newsmax. “We certainly love the Muslim people. But that is not the faith of this country. And that is not the religion that built this nation. The people of the Christian faith and the Jewish faith are the ones who built America, and it is not Islam.”

I saw Campbell Brown interviewing Franklin Graham last night. Needless to say, she is a moron.

Aha! NOW I get it...this is "the change we need" that Obama promised...

...and the ONLY promise he has apparently kept thus far...

Pray for this country! Obama has become one of the false prophets of the Bible...

This has been the meme ever since 9-11 and it is only leading to more Islamic supremacist terrorist attacks.

It’s worth repeating over and over.

Islam is "not the faith that BUILT this country" but it is a faith permitted within this country, however Islam itself is INTOLERANT of other faiths. There is NO religious freedom in Islamic countries and that was a founding concept in this nation.

There is to be no state funding of religion and the Saudi state is funding the construction of UNCONSTITUIONAL mosques in this country. Where does it say OTHER nations may fund religion in this country?

It is a separation of church and ALL states.

On this basis, the Islam we know is completely INCOMPATIBLE with our Constitution. There is no cultural exchange in a one way street.

Franklin knows that it is not a Protestant-Catholic-Jew American any more and that Islam is radically opposed to Christianity.

Islam is not only an oppressive religion, it is a political ideology that seeks to overthrow the legitimate governments of the countries in which it exists. It needs to be stamped out.

I believe you what say. Islam is a political movement disguised as a religion. It’s aim is world domination. Until that happen, there will not be peace.

“Obama is a committed Christian....” ???????????

What about when he told George Stephanopoulis “my Muslim faith...”, and Stephy had to change the dialogue to “my Christian faith...”?
