American Muslims don't want Franklin Graham in Iraq
Charlotte, North Carolina-AP -- American Muslims are objecting to the Reverend Franklin Graham's plan to send relief workers into Iraq "in the Name of Jesus Christ" when the war ends.
Graham's Samaritan's Purse ministry is poised to provide shelter, water and medical assistance inside Iraq as soon as military clearance is available.
But Ibrahim Hooper of the Council on American-Islamic Relations says it's inappropriate for a group whose leader has called Islam an "evil and wicked" religion to minister to Muslims.
Hooper says Samaritan's Purse and other ministries offer charity when their real motive is to convert people to Christianity.
In a statement, Graham says: "As Christians, we love the Iraqi people, and we are poised and ready to help meet their needs." And he says Samaritan's Purse has been invited by Christians in Iraq to perform relief work.

Among the two major groups fronting for or championing radical Islam in the U.S. are the Council on American Islamic Relations, or CAIR, and the American Muslim Council, or AMC, both headquartered in Washington, D.C. Records and documents obtained from both the White House and the internal publications of the groups themselves show that CAIR and AMC have been invited repeatedly into the White House by the president, the first lady and Vice President Al Gore.
Curiously, the White House met with these groups despite an abundance of available material showing these groups to be tied to terrorist movements. Even after the meetings with the radical Islamic groups were publicly exposed in a Wall Street Journal article by this writer in March 1996, the White House continued to meet with the militants. The question is why. Does the White House consider these groups to be representative of all Muslims? If so, that is a terrible slur on American Muslims and Muslims worldwide who abhor violence and want nothing to do with the extremist fringes of radical Islam that represent no one but themselves.

What about the Orthodox Christians in Iraq. Iraq has more than one faith there. Religious freedom should be permitted for the christian faiths in iraq.

"American Muslims are objecting to the Reverend Franklin Graham's plan to send relief workers into Iraq "in the Name of Jesus Christ" when the war ends." Well, of course. It's common knowledge that it's perfectly ok for Muslims to swarm their sorry hides all over the planet.......but for Christians to enter their enclaves of Stone Age misery and violence? Heaven / Allah forbid.

I must say that I too would prefer to NOT see Graham go to Iraq. It is opportunistic, irrelevant and devisive, and possibly even more than a little insulting.

Franklin Graham said what many are afraid to say...Islam is not a religion of peace.

Because most Muslims support terrorists.

Yeah, that's funny, I don't want fanatical Muslims in America, either.
So they can come here and set up front groups to protect the expansion of radical Islam in our nation, but they don't want Christians in Iraq, huh? HAH! Christians are going to go to Iraq, and they're going to convert, convert, convert, you fascist b@st@rds!
P!ss on CAIR and these Islamonazis. I hope Franklin Graham goes over there and converts half the nation.
Eat it, you Islamofascist pr!cks!
To: EggsAckley
He doesn't have to go. His organization can be there. But they could be targets thanks to the Islamic fanatics. Franklin Graham's Samaritan's Purse was ministering to the needy children in the Balkans long before the Islamic fanatics became more well known in this country for their terrorist tactics (since 9-11). Ask the families, children (Islamic and Christian and in between)in the Balkans about Samaritan's Purse and they will report what idiocy it is to criticize Franklin Graham for WORDS while ignoring his OPENLY CHRISTLIKE DEEDS.

What have the Muslim leaders done to help with victims of 9/11 and other terrorist attacks (caused by Muslims in the name of Islam)?
To: journey7873
Franklin Graham said what ninety percent of America already thinks and already knows:
- 1. Islam is not a "religion of peace".
- 2. Islam is an evil religion.
- 3. Islam has a history of violence unparalleled.
- 4. Islam preaches violence and conversion by violence.
- 5. Mohammed was a demon possessed, alcoholic, pedophile, and he spread his religion by violence and murder on a scale unseen to his day.
Amongst other things.
See, pretty soon there'll be "hate speech" laws passed, and then if you say something like Franklin Graham said, you'll be arrested, and the Islamonazis will have free reign to take over our political system, and ultimately turn America into an Islamic state.
So they don't want anyone speaking out and mucking things up for them until they can get their plans firmly underway.
The sheeple in this nation better wake the hell up to the threat that Islam represents to free people, or they're going to see their descendants converted at the point of a sword.

Hooper can go f- himself. We'll do whatever the hell we want.
If he doesn't like it, then he can get the f- out of America and go live in Syria, which is where he belongs anyway.
