Franklin Graham interviewed at “Newsmax..com”:
…he clearly placed the blame on the Obama administration, telling Newsmax that the Pentagon would never revoke such an invitation without first consulting with the White House.
“I’m being restricted from my religious rights, and from what I believe,” Graham warned, as he complained of a growing “secularization” in the government.
He also warned Christian of “coming” persecution for believing in Jesus Christ.
Elections have consequences!
And I don’t know if it’s exactly from President Obama,” Graham said in the interview. “But I’m certain that some of the men around him are very much opposed to what we stand for and what we believe.”
“This goes back into the Clinton years,” he tells Newsmax. “This whole secularization has come in, creeping in, and it’s getting more and more and more.
“And of course the Bush administration was very friendly toward evangelicals.
“It seems as though Muslims are getting a pass. And you look at the violence that they have portrayed against women. It’s just horrific. If you just take women alone … And I just don’t understand why the president would be giving Islam a pass.
Honor killings are certainly being carried out in America. The media and law enforcement may not want to call it that, can’t insult Islam, but the family members murdering their daughters are very vocal that their daughters are bringing shame on the family by becoming too Americanized. Remember this honor killing here in Arizona?
The Iraqi immigrant is accused of killing his daughter, 20-year-old Noor Almaleki, for
being “too Westernized.”
Police say he used his Jeep Cherokee to run down his daughter and another woman in a Peoria parking lot Oct. 20. Noor later died of her injuries.
Almaleki is charged with first-degree murder, aggravated assault and two counts of leaving the scene of a serious accident. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
The decision not to seek the death penalty comes after Almaleki’s attorney, Billy Little, a public defender, asked a judge to take special precautions to ensure the County Attorney’s Office wouldn’t wrongly seek the death penalty because Almaleki is a Muslim. (Is anyone aware of any Muslim being persecuted for his Muslim faith here in America?)
Little requested that the office make public the process it uses to determine whether to seek capital punishment.
This is disgraceful!
“An open process provides some level of assurance that there is no appearance that a Christian is seeking to execute a Muslim for racial, political, religious or cultural beliefs,” Little wrote, referring to County Attorney Andrew Thomas’ Christian faith.
Andrew Thomas was the Maricopa County District. Mr. Thomas has resigned to run for Arizona State Attorney General.
“Prosecutors said Almaleki has admitted killing his daughter because she disgraced the family by not following traditional Iraqi or Muslim values.” ( Pamela has much more on honor killings, world wide @Atlas Shrugs. Some of it is graphic, all of it is heartbreaking. Click here. )
Not only is the President “giving Islam a pass”, sadly so is law enforcement, the military, and our entire government.
“We certainly love the Muslim people,” Graham went on to say.
Yes, Christians love the Muslim people, but realize that Islam is a false religion. Do Muslims love Christian 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.”
Historically true! Christian and Jewish values are the basis of America’s laws and values, led to America’s charity and greatness. It’s refreshing to hear Franklin Graham boldly speak the truth. Most American leaders are consumed with assuring us that “Islam is a religion of peace”. Really? Is there ANY proof to substantiate that claim? Much evidence can be produced to disprove this assertion.
I was unaware of the recent judicial ruling:
The National Day of Prayer event is itself under attack. Earlier this month, U.S. District Judge BarbaraCrabb of Wisconsin ruled that holding a National Day of Prayer was unconstitutional, maintaining it violates the First Amendment’s prohibition against the establishment of a religion by the federal government.
Remember the National Day of Prayer on Thursday. Whether you pray at home, work, or church, take the time to pray for America and your fellow Americans.
