• Islamic Law & its Challenge To Western Civilization

• What is Jihad - article by Daniel Pipes One answer came last week, when Saddam Hussein had his Islamic leaders appeal to Muslims worldwide to join his jihad to defeat the "wicked Americans" should they attack Iraq; then he himself threatened the United States with jihad.

• America, Islam, Jihad, and Terrorism I believe that Muslims will one day detonate a nuclear warhead, or warheads, in large American cities.

• Jihad: The Teachings of Islam from its primary sources - the Qur ... [Note: This is a 26 page study. Please don't begin unless you intend to carefully and fully read all these verses from the Quran and the traditions on the subject of Jihad. It is my intent simply to make it possible for you to make your own judgment as to the teaching of Islam about Jihad.]

• The [Suicide] Jihad Menace - article by Daniel Pipes ...Islamists consider suicide as not just legitimate but highly commendable when undertaken for reasons of jihad (sacred war). Going into war knowing with certainty that one will die, they argue, is not suicide (intihar) but martyrdom (istishhad), a much-praised form of self-sacrifice in the path of God, a way to win the eternal affection of the houris in paradise.

• The Sources and Tenets of Shi'ite Islam Redemption through suffering has thus become one of the major tenets of Shi'ite Islam, although it is not redemption through the vicarious atonement wrought through the sufferings of another, as in Christianity.

"One religion, regardless of the religion, does not have the veto right over another religion."

Exactly. Unfortunately, not many believe this any more.

[sarasota]

Are we moving towards the time when we have to have reps from every "majority religion" at ceremonies like this? C'mon now, it's a Christian holiday.

[syriacus]

The organizations, that Franklin Graham is involved with, have worked in parts of the world where Christians are persecuted by Muslims.

There are employees at the Pentagon and dare I say, in other sensitive locations in our government, who are moslems. Given that you believe that islam is an evil religion, how can you reconcile the fact that these employees appear to be competent and non-subversive. Have they resisted their religion's call to evil or is it possible that not all believers follow the same interpretations, just like Christianity?

I believe in the right of free people to choose a bad religion. We can't say "I believe they will do this or that some day..." and use that as an excuse to take their freedom of religion away. We can only judge individuals for individual acts (or SPECIFIC groups of individuals for the conspiracy of their SPECIFIC group).

While we have every right to believe a religion is evil and say so, some here on FR sound as if they think Islam should be outlawed. You have to understand that even if a group of Muslims believe they should kill us, they have not broken any laws until they conspire to actually do it. We can fight their bad beliefs with speech, friendship, righteous anger, whatever....but as soon as we cross the line into dictating what someone can and cannot believe we will have lit the torch that will destroy all religious freedom.

It is unfair and prohibited by our system of free religion for Mr. Graham to be blamed for merely repeating what God's Bible has to say about the nature of false religions and false prophets... like Muhammed.

To ascribe to Mr. Graham any wrongdoing for saying that Islam is an evil religion begs two questions in response:

1: Have you ever seen a Christian with C-4 plastique-and-ball-bearings taped to his chest?

2: Do you have the right to tell God what His religion should look like?

The Bible teaches that there are many paths to Hell, but only one path to Salvation, and that path is belief in The Messiah, Jesus Christ; also that any who believe not in Christ but come "in the name of God" are deceivers doing Satan's work.

Mr. Graham not only has the right, but the obligation to call Islam just what it is... and evil, false religion peopled by deceived tools of Satan.

Mr. Grahamn says these things because the Bible demands it. "You are either with us, or you are with the terrorists." G. W. Bush, September, 2001

"One religion, regardless of the religion, does not have the veto right over another religion."

Gotta love it bump!

[LaGrone]

I am glad the pentagon stuck by its guns. Many examples of Islam being an evil religion, a religion of intolerance and hate.

Thanks for telling the truth Franklin.

[xm177e2]

If you're going to classify an entire religion as evil, you don't belong at government-sponsored events. If Clinton had brought Farrakhan in to speak at something, we would (rightly) be raising hell. Now we're supposed to cheer for a bigot like Franklin Graham... because he's our bigot. That's not good enough.

[peteram]

The first thing that occurred to me when I heard about this earlier today is that - Muslims do not celebrate Easter Holy Week (including Good Friday), so they should just Butt Out!.

No one is forcing them to attend a Good Friday Service.

It is evident that they hate truth like cockroaches hate the light.

I think Franklin Graham is totally accurate with his portrayal of Islam.

However, I am leary of him, due to the way his father used his Crusade to paint Marxist tyrants in a good light.

Billy Graham semed to adore Mao, Kim Il Sung, and Deng Xiao Ping.
