Islam teaches that all other faiths are false and that infidels should be subjegated, at best, or killed!
Graham is completely correct.
Islam’s “holy” books proclaim that Mohammed, their “prophet”, is the perfect man, a standard to which all Moslems should aspire.
Let’s have a look at Mohammed.
He was a pirate, a thief, a plunderer, a warrior, a murderer, an executioner, a torturer, a trucebreaker, a slave trader, a slave owner, a Jew-hater, a rapist, an adulterer, a polygamist, and a pedophile, and a despotic tyarant and overall genocidal lunatic.
But I don’t expect organizations infected with the political correctness of the cultural revolution to speak the truth.
Seems to me Billy Graham and Jesus has been a fixture to American presidents since, like ... Eisenhower
The country is doomed. The inmates are running the insane asylum.
May God help us...
Jesus saves. I pray He saves us from this.
You believe, or you don’t.
I stand behind and support Franklin Graham. Any mention as to how to support him in his stance ?
OKAY....I have major problems with Obomba’s comments about CHRISTIANITY....can we DROP HIM????
Allahu Fubar!
Perhaps the pentagram should invite KSM to speak instead.
He seems much more in line with the current regime anyway...
Here are a few other candidates for elimination:
George Washington — “I now make it my earnest prayer that God would have you, and the State over which you preside, in his holy protection...that he would most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind, which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and without an humble imitation of whose example in these things, we can never hope to be a happy nation.”
“While we are zealously performing the duties of good citizens and soldiers, we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of religion. To the distinguished character of Patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian.”
“...it would be peculiarly improper to omit, in this first official act, my fervent supplications to that Almighty Being who rules over the universe, who presides in the councils of nations and whose providential aids can supply every human defect, that His benediction may consecrate to the liberties and happiness of the people of the United States a Government.” (In his Inaugural Speech, April 30, 1789)
“...it would be peculiarly improper to omit, in this first official act, my fervent supplications to that Almighty Being who rules over the universe, who presides in the councils of nations and whose providential aids can supply every human defect, that His benediction may consecrate to the liberties and happiness of the people of the United States a Government.” (In his Inaugural Speech, April 30, 1789)
Alexis de Tocqueville — “The Americans combine the notions of Christianity and of liberty so intimately in their minds, that it is impossible to make them conceive the one without the other; and with them this conviction does not spring from that barren traditionary faith which seems to vegetate in the soul rather than to live.” (Democracy in America, Volume I Chapter XVII (1835)
Benjamin Franklin — “...serious religion, under its various denominations, is not only tolerated, but respected and practiced. Atheism is unknown there; Infidelity rare and secret; so that persons may live to a great age in that country without having their piety shocked by meeting with either an Atheist or an Infidel. And the Divine Being seems to have manifested His approbation of the mutual forbearance and kindness by which the different sects treat each other, and by the remarkable prosperity with which He has been please to favor the whole country.” (John Gould Curtis, American history told by contemporaries .... Volume 3, p. 26)
Daniel Webster — “If there is anything in my thoughts or style to commend, the credit is due to my parents for instilling in me an early love of the Scriptures. If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper; but if we and our posterity neglect its instructions and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity.”
“Finally, let us not forget the religious character of our origin. Our fathers were brought hither by their high veneration for the Christian religion. They journeyed by its light, and labored in its hope. They sought to incorporate its principles with the elements of their society, and to diffuse its influence through all their institutions, civil, political, or literary.”
Theodore Roosevelt — “No other book of any kind ever written in English—perhaps no other book ever written in any other tongue ever so affected the whole life of a people as this authorized version of the Scriptures has affected the life of the English-speaking peoples.”
A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education.”
“To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society.”
“There is not in all America a more dangerous trait than the deification of mere smartness unaccompanied by any sense of moral responsibility.”
“A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad.”
Calvin Coolidge — “They [the Founding Fathers] were intent upon establishing a Christian commonwealth in accordance with the principle of self-government. They were an inspired body of men. It has been said that God sifted the nations that He might send choice grain into the wilderness
... Who can fail to see it in the hand of Destiny? Who can doubt that it has been guided by a Divine Providence?”
Woodrow Wilson — “America was born a Christian nation. America was born to exemplify that devotion to the elements of righteousness which are derived from the revelations of the Holy Scripture.”
General Douglas MacArthur — “The United States is a pre-eminently Christian and conservative nation.”
“Are we going to continue to permit the pressure of alien doctrines to strongly influence the orientation of foreign and domestic policy, or regain trust in our own traditions, experience and free institutions, and the wisdom of our own people?”
“Are we going to preserve the religious base to our origin, our growth and our progress, or yield to the devious assaults of atheistic or other anti-religious forces?”
“In short, is American life of the future to be characterized by freedom or by servitude, strength or weakness? The answer must be clear and unequivocal if we are to avoid the pitfalls toward which we are heading with such certainly. In many respects it is not to be found in any dogma of political philosophy, but in those immutable precepts which underlie the Ten Commandments.”
“We all dream of of the day when human conduct will be governed by the Decalogue and the Sermon and the Mount.
Dwight D Eisenhower — “The purpose of a devout and united people was set forth in the pages of The Bible … (1) to live in freedom, (2) to work in a prosperous land… and (3) to obey the commandments of God… This Biblical story of the promised land inspired the founders of America. It continues to inspire us.”
Ronald Reagan — “If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a Nation gone under.”

THe nation will lose God’s protection. Individuals will still have it, but as a nation, when our top people say stuff like this, it’s just a slap in the face of God.
If we were still a smart nation, our top people would understand that America, founded as a Christian nation, and still mostly Christian to varying degrees, we can be a Christian nation and still have no problem with people in other PEACEFUL religions. You don’t have to downplay, ignore, and/or give up part of your national identity and culture, that is obviously there, just to appear to accept other religions. That’s one of the strengths of Christianity, we can live with people in other religions without saying “convert or die” like SOME others. We don’t burn their houses down, we don’t machete them to death, we don’t bury them in the ground and stone their head or behead them. We may share the Gospel with them, we may have Christian broadcasting, and churches across the land, but to say this is torture or the same thing as the horrendous violence against Christians around the world is ridiculous and clear lying.
God-given wisdom ignored, no longer present in our top folks.
....NO muslim should ever be allowed into the military.
Yeah. We leftists are highly supportive of Islamic terrorists who murder American soldiers on US army bases!!
man...how far we have tumbled
attending church as a lad in the 60s and gazing out the sunday school class window in spring wishing i were fishing or roaming the woods off in the distance or looking at other churches across town realizing my buddies were temporarily entrapped there as well....and thinking I had forever to live..lol
i never figured my nation would collapse so fast and so disgustingly...the future looked so bright for all of us then...people were happier and more optimistic
things now look dirty and ironic and jaded....and past tense
am I the only one?
poor kids here never knew another reality...America and our culture once stood for something optimistic.......it was not a myth
now we live under a tyranny of all the fringes of the culture
"The one thing that history teaches us is that history teaches us nothing..."
This seems like a re-run of the first century. Christians were persecuted by the Romans not because they professed belief in Christ as God the Son, and Saviour. The Romans were OK with many gods and Religions.
What they hated about the Christians was that they said that Belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour was the only way to Salvation.
The Christians said that all the other gods were false.
The Romans were fine with "...diversity and appreciation of all faiths." It was the 'obnoxious' position of the Christians that the God of the Bible was the only God, and that Christ was the only way, that the Romans hated...
And so the Pentagon takes the position of First Century pagan Rome...
When the next one goes crazy like the nut at Fort Hood, the people who made this decision should be tried for murder as well. Placate, placate, what ever happened to common sense ! We continue to mock God and everything this country once stood for. I believe there is a real eye-opener down the road for us.
“Army Spokesman Tom Collins...”
It sounds as though this jackass has drunk one Tom Collins too many....
"It's (Muslim world) a part of the world I love very much," Graham said, according to CNN. "And I understand it. But I certainly disagree with their teaching."
