The Rev. Franklin Graham Says President Obama was 'Born a Muslim' (And Is Still One)
abc ^ | 8/20/2010 | BRADLEY BLACKBURN

On the heels of a new poll suggesting that nearly one in five Americans incorrectly believes that President Obama is a Muslim, one of the nation's most prominent evangelical leaders has weighed in with a seemingly lukewarm endorsement of the president's Christian faith.

The Rev. Franklin Graham waded into the discussion with his own controversial explanation of why people wrongly believe the president is a Muslim. Graham, who prayed with Obama in a session with his father, Billy Graham, earlier this year, was asked whether he has any doubts about Obama's self-avowed Christian faith.

"I think the president's problem is that he was born a Muslim, his father was a Muslim. The seed of Islam is passed through the father like the seed of Judaism is passed through the mother. He was born a Muslim, his father gave him an Islamic name," Graham told CNN's John King in a televised interview that aired Thursday night.

” “Now it’s obvious that the president has renounced the prophet Mohammed, and he has renounced Islam,
and he has accepted Jesus Christ. That’s what he says he has done. I cannot say that he hasn’t. “

When did this happen ?

There is nothing Christian about Obama. You cannot have the belief system he has, and support the things he supports and wants and be a Christian.

I am getting really tired of how loosely the term “Christian” is used these days. Simply believing in God does not make one a Christian nor does believing Jesus existed.

Even IF Obama believes both of those things I can almost guarantee he has never accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior and therefor, he is not a Christian.

It doesn’t matter what ‘O’ says, he’s given permission in the Koran to lie to the infidels.

Scum.

I think Islam frowns upon folks converting to another religion.

No way Obama would renouced his father's faith.

Franklin Graham puts Obama on the hot seat.
Is the Muslim world listening?

This morning on Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough said that muslims and Christians pray to the same God. No one was there to tell him he was wrong.

Very telling. That was not a slip. If he wasn’t thinking about it, why did he say it?

0bama referred to his faith as "my Muslim faith" in an interview with George Stephanopolous. (video 0:12)

Listen to this interview and imagine that 0bama had said "my Christian faith" to begin with. Does it make any sense?

Well Franklin, if that were true, his head and neck would no longer be attached to his shoulders.

The Bible tells us we can know their true beliefs by their fruits. Show me one good fruit Zero has produced as a Christian.

Matt. 7:15-20
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither [can] a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
