One of the big narratives you hear about the Republican presidential nominating contest is that Donald Trump is going to lose in Iowa and elsewhere because his nasty prejudices and religious ignorance are offending the conservative Evangelical voters who play such a large role in GOP politics. And without question, some conservative Evangelical leaders have become outspoken in decrying support for the Donald among their co-religionists.

But Moore's is not the only pulpit in American conservative Christendom. And it's worth noting (as did Washington Monthly's Nancy LeTourneau) that the bearer of the most famous name in American Christianity, the Reverend Franklin Graham, actually anticipated Trump's proposal in a Facebook post on Friday that read in part:
Mr. President, we don’t need more gun control—we need border patrol. No Muslims should be allowed into this country until there’s a process in place to fully vet them. We’ve got to turn away those who could potentially pose a threat until this war with radical Islam is over.
Graham, you may recall, once referred to Islam as a "very evil and wicked religion" that did not share the same God as Christianity. With the backing of his political allies in the Bush administration, he was involved extensively in missionary activities in occupied Iraq that focused on charitable work, but occasionally seemed to edge over into a state-sponsored crusade to secure conversions. Much more recently, in March, Graham expressed fear that Muslims influencing Barack Obama would soon launch a persecution of Christians right here in the USA:

I put this on Twitter just now. Thank you for posting it.
I also wrote to Russell Moore this morning (along with Reince Priebus who had the audacity to try to collect money from me right after denouncing Donald Trump). Moore needs to shut up about Donald Trump if he wants to keep his job with Southern Baptists . . and Priebus needs to shut up if he wants Conservative-Base-backing. I have NEVER felt so impassioned to protect and defend a candidate as I do about Mr. Trump.
He’s a brave man. A hero really.
Indeed. I pray for his safety.
The attacks against him personally on the NYMAG site are vicious. I can see several of the posters putting together an actual attack on Graham, if they could find the way out of their mother’s basements.
Trump's proposal has created a firestorm, but it only shows that for the first time since Ronald Reagan, someone wants to put the safety and security of Americans ahead of the one-world, new world order groupthink that espouses open borders and has spawned "no go" zones around the Country.
It is interesting to see those that immediately jumped to roundly criticize Trump - that twerp and 0bama caliphate Chief Propaganda Minister, Josh Earnest, 0bama's protege in evil Hildabeast, to Fiorina, Christie Kreme and of course predictably, senor el Jebbo. Their reactions clearly show that if they are given the reins it will be "business as usual" - the strategy that has caused the conflict to drag on now for 14+ years, with only mixed success. There is a clear and obvious plan by isalm to infiltrate the US posing as "refugees", establish sharia and turn America into a third world hellhole like the other islamic states.
U.S.A. needs to abolish the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 and return to the National Origins Formula which restricted immigration on the basis of existing proportions of the U.S. population.

HOW MUCH TROUBLE ARE WE IN? CAN YOU SAY “EXISTENTIAL�?
Why is this the first time I am hearing this being proposed?! Makes complete sense to me.
Is there anyone in Washington talking about doing this? How could we push this?
I do not believe anyone has considered this yet. However, this would stabilize the population,
