Franklin Graham, the chief of both Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, is raising the question about why the world is silent while ISIS carries out genocide against Christians.
“It is genocide,” he wrote on Monday in a post on Facebook on a topic he has previously addressed.
“And the world seems largely silent about it.”
He continued, “Genocide perpetrated by the Islamic State against Christians, Yazidis, and other religious minorities of Syria and Iraq. And their methods are unimaginably cruel and heinous. Just a few days ago it was revealed that three Assyrian Christians were executed on September 23, which is the Muslim ‘Feast of Sacrifice,’ and they say they’ll kill more hostages.”

“His mother was married to a Muslim. His father was a Muslim,” Graham said. “Then she married a man from Indonesia. He was raised in Indonesia. Went to Islamic schools. I assume she was a Muslim. So his whole life, his experiences have been surrounded by Islam. He only knows Islam. And he has given a pass to Islam.”
The ring he wears on his left hand contains an inscription of his devotion and commitment to Allah...
Was brought forth years ago and there are fotos...
Hey frank, when famous ‘christians’ give their support to buys profiting from abortion/baby BBQs (Romney/Stericycle) as president, the world tends to see the rest of us as frauds and really couldn’t care what happens to us.
So thanks for that.
Until the day comes that Christians are willing to kill them...
Exactly and his campaign brochure from the Illinois days where he mentions his Kenyan birth ...
While I don't know for sure, but maybe, many people in the world approve of the genocide, so they are silent.
He was “disinvited” from a Washington event in 2010 after saying, “When you look at what the religion (Islam) does to women and women alone, it is just horrid.”
The world does seem more callous now and life less important than before.
Well, Jesus did say in Matthew 24:12, that the love of many will grow cold. Maybe we are seeing a healthy dose of that right now.
Franklin is correct.

“The world does seem more callous now and life less important than before.”
Nothing that 1933-1945 didn’t beat hands down.
Momar Gadaffi also said that Barack Hussein Obama is a muslim.
The 53 million kids that women in America have killed since 1973 dwarfs the numbers killed in genocide and war in WWII. That seems pretty callous to me.
The NAZIs hid the truth of their extermination program. Islamic State broadcasts the beheadings to the world and everyone shrugs. That seems pretty callous to me.
I purposely selected the words, "less important than before." to indicate which direction things are headed, not to compare today with the past.
But since you've brought it up, what we're witnessing is indeed comparable to some of the darkest periods in human history (e.g., genocide, slaughter of innocents, ...). If you don't think so, I invite you to visit liveleak.com
Obvious atrocities and disrespect for individual human life are getting worse - not better.
Jesus taught to not curse non-believers:
Jesus' teachings were rejected by the inhabitants of a village in Samaria. His disciples asked that he exterminate the people of the village by issuing a curse. Jesus refused to do it, and simply move on to the next village.
Luke 9:52-56: "...they did not receive him...And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. "
I think it’s the faith he most identifies with. But basically, to me at least, he seems more godless than a devout believer in any faith.
