Commenting on the persecution of Christians and other religious minorities in the Middle East, Rev. Franklin Graham noted the barbarity of the Islamic State but also the often oppressive nature of Islam itself, stating, “This is Islam: They persecute the church, they persecute Christians.”
“The Sunnis persecute the Christians,” said Rev. Graham in an interview with CBN News. “We see in Syria and Iraq where they cut the heads of Christians, they rape the women, take them as sex slaves.”
“They take the Yazidis, the minorities, and they do the same thing,” he said. “They kill the men but take the women to have sex with them. And then after they have used them for a number of months, they’re so distraught mentally and physically that then they may let them go or they may kill them.”
“But this is Islam,” said Rev. Graham. “And if you look at Saudi Arabia, again it’s Islam. There are no [Christian] churches in Saudi Arabia.”
“If you go into Saudi Arabia with a Bible, they take it away from you,” he said. “If you try to preach or evangelize in Saudi Arabia, they will execute you.”
“So this is Islam,” said the reverend. “They persecute the church, they persecute Christians.”
“And so, I think we have a real problem in this country as it relates to immigration.,” he continued. “I think we need to examine people very carefully before we allow them in because we are creating a danger for ourselves.”
CBN host Efrem Graham (no relation) then asked, “The president is talking about increasing the number of immigrants. Does that concern you?”
“I would love to see those immigrants be the minorities,” said Rev. Graham. “The Christians, the Yazhidis, and other minorities, the Assyrians, and so forth, that still live in Syria and that are minorities, and allow these Christians and minorities to come to this country would be great.”
“But to allow more Muslims into this country at this time while we’re still fighting against ISIS, and we have these issues, I think it’s creating a problem for us,” said the reverend.
The host also asked, “How would you grade our president thus far on handling that particular crisis?”
Rev. Graham said, “Well, I would have to say the crisis is a result of his failed policies.
Franklin Graham, 63, is the son of world-renowned evangelical preacher Billy Graham. Franklin Graham runs the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and is the president of the international Christian relief group Samaritan’s Purse.
well let’s not get all love happy with the yazhidis. They are as whacky as they come
I always enjoy listening to Franklin Graham. He tells it like it is.
so does Stacey , try

Franklin probably needs to watch this vid as well!
Good deal. Stacey tells it like it is too. I enjoyed watching.
yep.
Mohammet, being the ideal model man, legitimized nations, NATIONS of pedophiles and rapists. All aspiring to be like him. In doing so every new generation is corrupted right off the bat by his “visions”.
Such an initiation!
They should be treated accordingly!
Islam is the same dysfunctional belief system today as it was 1500 years ago.
A lot of blacks convert to islam in prison. They come out acting like men of honor. There’s no honor in pedophilia and rape. These clowns are delusional.
I would ally with Yazidis against Muslims anytime, anywhere. Sure they're pagans, but the Yazidis keep to themselves and do not impose themselves on their neighbors. That's what I like about them.
That is the impression I get also. They don't have a 'code' that tells them to kill unbelievers.
To me, Hinduism is 'whacky' (although I believe there are levels of subtleties involved - which I do not understand), but there is nothing in their 'scriptures' that tells them to kill people. Yes, Hindus have Nationalists in their midst which do target and kill Christians (usually converts, but also Missionaries) - but this is not advocated, nor condoned, by their Religion -- the murderers are just playing the part of sinful man.
If they were Islamics, doing the same, they would be devout followers of their book.
This alignment between Marxism and Islam has been in the works for a couple of generations and it’s current incarnation is propelled mainly by Cold War inertia as post Soviet Russia sees its Frankenstein monster gyrating out of control. The left thinks Moslem terrorists will do the wet work for their “revolution” and they will emerge unscathed into a pagan utopia. It is an alignment requiring massive and transparent quantities of schizophrenic dementia which the quickly growing Trump demographic is not buying for an instant. Leftist “new age empaths” and their anarcho-trotskyite herders find themselves crawling in bed with throat slitting, genital mutilating, life hating zombies. This is a psychotic disconnect with reality and it’s going to bite them on the ass real soon. One more terrorist attack in the US and it’s game over, Trump in the White House and a Republican Congress. Obama’s “Arab Spring” may well have been engineered in the committee rooms of the Comintern’s ghost.
This Post Soviet inertia is under no one’s control, tho various factions ride its coattails. Bringing the beast down is going to require both finesse and a fist between the eyes. I want to see more press attacking the sanity of leftists who espouse pacifism, feminism and progressive jurisprudence who then erect insane cognitive barriers to protect them from what they actually witness in Moslem behavior. We need to roll out our best brains in psychology and social commentary to analyze this glaring contradiction between their espoused pacifist world view and their tolerance for proxy id monster gore fests.
He is speaking a powerful truth.
The Saudis often rape and beat the indigent Filipino maids that work in their homes. In one case a maid was drenched with boiling water, and no arrests were made.
They will arrest and jail people wearing crosses and having Christian services.
Pure barbarism.
They should be thrown of the United Nations, and out of NYC.
Why is Bush and Cheney so friendly with them. The money?
We have our own oil now, and the world is awash with it.
There is enough hypocrisy for both sides.
Whadya mean there is no honor?
In islam there is a load of honor.
Due to mohammet legitimizing it, actually both, we now have NATIONS of pedophiles and rapists where child brides are absolutely acceptable. The flip side is they have generations of messed up mothers indoctrinating another generation of F-ups.
You have to remember that he is the model man that all should aspire to be just like.....and emulate in every way!
Frankly, that pirate called mohammet messed many things up unless you too are a pirate.
