Rev. Franklin Graham, the influential son of beloved evangelist Billy Graham, tells Newsmax TV the pounding Russian air force strikes in Syria may end up saving countless numbers of persecuted Christians.
"What Russia is doing may save the lives of Christians in the Middle East," Graham, president and CEO of Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, said Wednesday to J.D. Hayworth and Miranda Khan on "Newsmax Prime."
"You understand that the Syrian government for their good and for their bad over the history of this country, they have protected Christians, they have protected minorities from the Islamists."

The man is right.
Obama hands out arms in Benghazi that are then used to kill our Ambassador, troops, and Christians.
Obama supports ‘resistance fighters’ in Syria who then turn over weapons to Al-Queda.
Better to figure out what the heck we are doing before we do anything else.
Our Middle East policy is in shambles.
Thank goodness someone is giving an account other than obama and the demo controlled media.
I agree with Rev Graham. If the ISIS demons are forced to busy themselves with ducking and covering, they’ll have less time for raping and beheading babies of Christian families. I care only about two things in the ME... saving Christians and exterminating jihadi filth. And if the Russians are the force to man up and do it, then so be it.
The Russians won’t do it. They’ll hit rebels. That will free Assad to take out the demons.
This situation brings into bold relief Obama’s pathetic leadership. Or desires.
At frist, when I heard the Russisan general speaking I thought he was at the Pentagon on our side.
Franklin Graham ... leading from behind ... calling a presser from his lavish offices ... befit for a “pastor” demanding an $ 800,000 annual salary ...
All five of them?
This probably not true, as it appears that the Russians are attacking first the non-ISIS rebels. Their first aim is to bolster Asad, then control much of the Middle East. It means that they will then influence even a bigger share of the world’s petroleum. They are ensuring a further flood of refugees into Europe, which is accomplishes another Russian aim: destabilization and domination of Europe.
Franklin Graham is a poor authority on foreign affairs. Both he and his late father were taken in by the North Koreans. They still send aid to the regime there. They are fooled by the few show-churches run by DPRK secret police in Pyongyang. Christians are persecuted and killed in North Korea. You can read that in accounts by refugees. Franklin Graham is oblivious to this.
Franklin Graham is right. Obama, Kerry, Little Lindsey Graham and Juan McCain are idiots and are wrong.
Exactly.
What makes me nervous is Iran and Hezbollah and Hamas in the mix — more than Assad even. But what to do? ISIS and Boko Haram and Al Queda all need to be wiped off the face of the earth.
I always feel like whatever side obama is on, I should be on the other side. As if he is an enemy of America....which he is.
Wrong, Franklin. It increases the likelihood.
The Arab Spring was nothing but an open invitation for Islamists. It was giddily welcomed by our ignorant mainstream media because it fit their narrative of democracy for Arabs.
