Can you dispute any of the facts in Graham's statements?

Yes. Polls reveal that 90% of Americans classify themselves as "Christian." Muslims account for two percent of the American population.

Franklin would do better to buttress his fellow Christians.

I never heard his father, Billy, ever say one negative word against any other belief.

Not publicly, but like father like son...

Graham: "This stranglehold [Jews' control of the media] has got to be broken or the country's going down the drain,"

Nixon: "You believe that?"

Graham:"Yes, sir,"

Nixon: "Oh, boy, so do I. I can't ever say that but I believe it."

Graham: "No, but if you get elected a second time, then we might be able to do something."

Later...

Graham: "And they're the ones putting out the pornographic stuff."

Later...

Graham: "A lot of the Jews are great friends of mine. They swarm around me and are friendly to me. Because they know I am friendly to Israel and so forth. They don't know how I really feel about what they're doing to this country."

I used to think that Billy Graham was one of the only decent Christian leaders around. But I couldn't care less what he or his family says now. Yeah, Billy apologized. But if he's sincere, what does that say his about earlier comments? Was he wrong?

I'm not going to dispute the fact that there are some radical Muslims out there that want to destroy us. 9/11 proved that without a shadow of a doubt. But all this fear mongering is sheer stupidity. Franklin has no credibility.

Muslims account for two percent of the American population.

Please see post #11 for what this country will face in just a few short years. When my child is my age, this is what she and her generation will have to deal with here.

" Muslims account for two percent of the American population."

It isn't the percentage at the moment that is being referred to, it's the fact that very high rates of immigration multiplied by extremely prolific birth rates = very big changes in a very few decades. The actual rate of "conversion" to Islam in the US remains quite small, but with these other 2 factors in play, Islamic politics will undoubtedly play a big role in US life in the fairly near future.

I live and work in the Chicago suburbs, and believe me, some of these large apartment complexes already have Islamic majorities, (making for less and less assimilation)and in some towns, more people are going to mosque than to church.
