Franklin Graham: 'I am trying to warn America, warn Duke University'
WPXI-TV ^ | 1/17/15

from Duke University’s chapel tower after all.

The university announced that it has reconsidered its decision to allow the call for prayer from the iconic tower on Fridays.

The reversal came a day after evangelist Franklin Graham posted a scathing criticism on Facebook asking donors not to give to Duke until the policy was changed.

Islam should not have first amendment protection.

Indeed, as it is not a religion in the recognized sense of the word; it is a geopolitical death cult.

I think I saw on FR somewhere that some sand rat donated 3 billion to Duke for Islamic studies.

Boy that might have greased the ol skids

I agree. They are putting thousands of mosques in America.

Our kids are going to be fighting to stop them, in our streets.

I was in Pittsburgh several years ago, and rode in a bus by a super mosque. It had a big sword on the placard.

Every guy in the bus looked on in silence. We all knew what it was. An military outpost. A beachhead for war.

I don’t doubt that Franklin Graham is getting death threats for saying that Islam is a violent religion. Grasping irony apparently isn’t a Muslim strong suit.

They shouldn’t give to Duke anyway...this is the same institution that now charges extra student fees to provide all the students the “benefit” of having “sex change” operations.

Yes, here in America, as in France and Europe, the followers of Islam are peaceful ... until they’re not.

The apple does not far from the tree. And, in this case, Franklin Graham is doing his father proud.

What is happening is they are trying to get the camel’s nose under the tent. It is the same tactic the gays used to achieve government acceptance of same sex marriage. Wait until the ACLU gets their hands on the effort to achieve Sharia law in America. That Middle East money will make a man sell his mother. It will help sell us down the river.

CBS Morning Show Saturday morning had this story.

They mentioned “vitriol” from conservatives, “nasty” e-mails sent to the university, they showed a muzzie male student who said the fight for the rights of muslims was like the civil rights struggle, etc.

They also mentioned that there are 700 muslim students at Duke.

Then they had a stupid college girl who claimed to be a Christian and said that Franklin Graham doesn’t speak for me, blah, blah, blah.

I had to change the channel. Stomach churning.

These mosques are also fundraisers for the extremists. It is time we get undercover agents in them to check out what they are doing.

“.....rode in a bus by a super mosque...”

A future target for the U.S. Air Force.

Sounds like an app needed on many student iPhones! Thank GOD for the Graham family and their willingness to stand in the face of Islam. The students should fill that church every Sunday from now on. And, yes, someone here stated a correct statement that Islam claims a building/area as theirs once they are allowed inside, done deal for them.

Sad, but many think that diversity to hear the Muslim call to prayer is what BHO said about it, something like it is a wonderful sound to hear. Well, it is more of an annoyance. Imagine hearing the call to prayer during your class or when you are in a hospital near...or just your home!

Anyway, Samaritan’s Purse who distributes millions of shoeboxes to children around the world is brave enough to include Christian items that show children the world over that we are not what they taught us to be and many are becoming Christians.

When I first read the Book of Revelation (early 1980s) and read verses about martyrs losing their heads, I did not know about muslims, hence I did not take the scripture literally. Times have changed.

I concur.

"I'm Charles Martel, and I endorse this award!" ;-)

Hopefully this becomes a FreeRepublc tradition which earns us even more venom from the Southern Poverty Law Center.

We are about to enter a period in our history which will mark the end of this nation as we know it. Without leadership in government to stop the spread of Islam here, it’s over. How sad to watch it all come down.

Agreed, thus my tagline. America was over the minute Congress decided not to do anything about the President usurping their power. Instead, they should be impeaching him for failure to execute the law.

Every guy in the bus looked on in silence. We all knew what it was. An military outpost. A beachhead for war.

Eventually, these garrisons will be treated like their English counterparts shown in Braveheart. The big question is, how many Americans will have to suffer needless deaths by Islamic violence first?

Last weekend, I stopped for some take-out pizza and the two guys behind the counter looked like clones of the Charlie Hebdo shooters. It gave me a chill, realizing that I could soon be looking at them through my ACOG reticle.

"We were talking about it today in my Christian ethics class," said Indhira Udofia, 26,... "Most were siding with the Muslim students," she said.

Some "Christian ethics" class! What Would Jesus Do?

Franklin Graham is correct. Islam has no place there (or in this country, for that matter).

Graham also said there are millions of peaceful Muslims, but stood by his harsh words for Islam, warning that it is at war with Christianity...The decision to not have a call for prayer brought praise from Rev. Graham who told Eyewitness News on Thursday that the chapel was built by donations from Christians when the university was a Methodist college and should continue to be used for Christian worship....“That violence is there and it's coming and it's going to come to this country. It has nothing to do with what I say. I'm just trying to warn this country about what's coming. Islam is a violent religion.”....

Great statement and bears repeating! Truth is truth, whether the leftist liberal progressives want to recognize it or not!
