Evangelical leader Rev. Franklin Graham issued his toughest remarks yet Monday on the administration's role in revoking his invitation to speak at the Pentagon's National Day of Prayer event, charging that President Obama is "giving Islam a pass" rather than speaking openly about the "horrific" treatment women and minorities receive in many Muslim countries.
In an exclusive telephone interview with Newsmax.TV, Graham called revoking his invitation to the prayer service "a slap at all evangelical Christians."
And 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.
'Very Much Opposed to What We Stand For’
On April 22, the Pentagon announced that it would be "inappropriate" to have Graham speak at the May 6 event. After 9-11, Graham said Islamic teachings had made that faith "a very evil and wicked religion."
He says that view is based on decades of travel and ministry to the Middle East where he has seen evidence of religious violence, including the mistreatment of women.
Graham said the Pentagon snub matter came up during last week's visit by President Obama with Franklin and his world-renowned father, Rev. Billy Graham, at the elder Graham’s home in North Carolina.
"He said he didn't know anything about it until two days prior to that meeting," Franklin Graham tells Newsmax. "And I would certainly believe him. I don't think that he would say something that wasn't true, so I believe what he said.

Franklin Graham replies.
Come, Lord Jesus...or November...
...whichever comes first will put an end to this persecution....
I wish Graham would run for president. He’s the only one who I see willing to tell the truth about islam.
2 Chronicles 15:2b:
“The LORD is with you when you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.”
===============================================
So he had 2 days to correct the situation and did nothing?
Praying the Lord gives us all this type of boldness. We need it.
Ping
The American people do not give Islam a pass on anything. It’s against our culture and will never change.
Memo to Obotulism and his 40 thieves Psalm 37:12-17
12The wicked plot against the righteous,
and gnash their teeth at them;
13but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
for he sees that their day is coming.
14The wicked draw the sword and bend their bows
to bring down the poor and needy,
to kill those who walk uprightly;
15their sword shall enter their own heart,
and their bows shall be broken.
16Better is a little that the righteous person has
than the abundance of many wicked.
17For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,
but the Lord upholds the righteous.
Amen!
DON’T BACK DOWN! Good for Franklin Graham!
bttt
TRANSLATION:
I, Franklin Graham, don't believe a word he says. He's a stone freakin' liar and everybody knows this already
Jhn 15:18 "If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.
If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
Remember the word that I said to you, 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also.
But all this they will do to you on my account, because they do not know him who sent me.
And Franklin is warning the rest of the church...so stand firm.
"...He says that view is based on decades of travel and ministry to the Middle East where he has seen evidence of religious violence, including the mistreatment of women..."
"...He continued: “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."
Sing it Preacher, yes!!!
I wish for all those women to take that crap off their heads and rise up and attack all those barbaric cavemen abusers, wipe them all from the face of the earth.
