CAIR to Trump: Drop Franklin Graham from inaugural prayers
Worldnet Daily ^ | 14 Jan 2017

Posted on 01/14/2017 9:18:26 PM PST by amorphous

The Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Muslim-rights group designated by the Justice Department as a terrorist co-conspirator, is calling on Donald Trump to drop Rev. Franklin Graham as one of six clergy who will offer prayers at the Jan. 20 inauguration ceremony.

In a press release issued this week, CAIR referred to the son of evangelist Billy Graham as a “notorious Islamophobe”

“If President-elect Trump truly seeks to unite our nation as he promised in his acceptance speech, he will limit the list of those offering prayers at the inauguration to religious leaders who work to bring us together, not to create divisions between faiths,” said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad. “Rev. Graham’s ill-informed and extremist views are incompatible with the Constitution and with American values of religious liberty and inclusion.”

Awad was linked to the Holy Land Foundation terror-funding case by wiretaps showing him present at a 1993 Philadelphia meeting of Hamas leaders and activists where participants hatched a plot to disguise payments to Hamas terrorists as $12 million in charitable giving. Five of the plotters were given substantial prison sentences and, as WND reported, a new Internet campaign is urging President Obama to provide clemency to the jailed leaders of the foundation before he leaves office.

LORD be with Franklin Graham, and Trump, Pence and all who are standing up to the evil in our midst.

It’s quite a statement for CAIR to ask for Graham to be dropped.

Any person in the Christian Church that votes left supports this.

Reiterate that.

These muslims are Americanfobe. They fear our way of life. They come here with an agenda to spread sharia law. That’s their goal. But just like our ancestors, freedom will always prevail over suppression. Semper Fi

CAIR inadvertently is telegraphing just how effective Franklin Graham has been in getting the evangelical community mobilized for Trump.

His 50 state tour in 2015-2016 of open air meetings at each state capitol was very important to getting the Christian community to the polls, explaining the importance of the 2916 election to the future of the country.

And Graham knows the history of Islam well,and does not shy away from contrasting it with Bible believing Christianity.

CAIR and Islam must be stopped dead in their tracks of America is going to survive.

Islam is still the same threat it has been for 1400 years.

In Obama and the Democrats, they found their vehicle to subjugate us.

Trump is our response.

Like he says, that ain’t gonna happen.

Franklin Graham will once again be welcome on military installations, as will Tony Perkins.

Satan is taking notice and doesn’t like what he sees - Trump’s enemy list proves it. I see it as proof that Trump actually accepted Christ during the campaign.....the evil side has dropped all pretenses.
