In response to President Barack Obama drawing a parallel between the barbaric acts of the Islamic State today with actions by Christians during the Crusades, which ended 700 years ago, evangelist Franklin Graham said there was a difference between Jesus Christ who “taught peace “ and did “not take life” versus Mohammed, who “was a warrior and killed many innocent people.”
Reverend Graham further said that, “True followers of Christ emulate Christ – true followers of Mohammed emulate Mohammed.”
President Obama made his remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday in Washington, D.C. He referenced the Islamist attacks on a school in Pakistan and in Paris – without using the words radical Islam – and he described the Islamic State, or ISIL, as “a brutal vicious death cult that, in the name of religion, carries out unspeakable acts of barbarism.”
Obama shortly thereafter said, “And lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ.” ...
“Mohammad on the contrary was a warrior and killed many innocent people,” said Rev. Graham. “True followers of Christ emulate Christ—true followers of Mohammed emulate Mohammed.”...

Unlike Mohammed, Christ rose from the dead and ascended into Heaven....
BO is a Muslim dirtbag who illegally occupies the White House. I hope a mountain falls on him!
And He read a few people the riot act. Righteously of course.
Nice summary of everything Islam is that Christianity is not.

and even that was not a sin because of the Spirit behind it...
It’s true. The crusades were defensive.

Excellent summary. I’ve never figured out why anyone would convert to Islam.
Audit coming in 3, 2, 1...
While I agree with what Graham says, its completely pointless to the left without correcting the falsehood that Muslims were victims of the crusades.
This needs more air time... more exposure to push that slimy bugger out of the weeds.
America needs to know his true beliefs.
If you condemn murder you condemn Mohammed.
If you condemn thievery you condemn Mohammed.
If you condemn rape you condemn Mohammed.
If you condemn pedophilia you condemn Mohammed.
If you condemn terrorism you condemn Mohammed.
If you condemn Mohammed you condemn Islam.
Good one!
Yes, even Bill Clinton had his moments. Obama is despicable beyond belief...every single time he opens his mouth. He is so much worse than I imagined, and I imagined a lot!
Oh, Mother Teresa? How wonderful she was! “How can there be too many children? That is like saying there are too many flowers.” Wisdom and kindness from above!
Obama is a Muslim coward.
Amen! Pray for repentance, and pray for Rev. Graham!
Consider yo(ur)self schooled oblinglrr.
True followers of Christ emulate Christ AS INSTRUCTED TO US IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.
True followers of Mohammed emulate Mohammed AS INSTRUCTED TO THEM IN THE QURAN.
Everyone needs to check out Bible and the Quran and tell the world the conclusion they come to as to which one is the religion of peace, and which is the violent fraud.
Graham better watch his back.
Yep. It makes it really clear what people like Al-Sisi of Egypt are up against. They know that Islam needs to condemn all those things - but how do you condemn those things without also condemning the “prophet” you’re supposed to bless every time you mention his name?
