Evangelical leader Rev. Franklin Graham issued his toughest remarks yet Monday on the administration’s role in revoking his invitation to speak at the Pentagon’s National Day of Prayer event, charging that President Obama is “giving Islam a pass” rather than speaking openly about the “horrific” treatment women and minorities receive in many Muslim countries.
In an exclusive telephone interview with Newsmax.TV, Graham called revoking his invitation to the prayer service “a slap at all evangelical Christians.”
And he clearly placed the blame on the Obama administration, telling Newsmax that the Pentagon would never revoke such an invitation without first consulting with the White House.
“I’m being restricted from my religious rights, and from what I believe,” Graham warned, as he complained of a growing “secularization” in the government.
He also warned Christian of “coming” persecution for believing in Jesus Christ.

Muslim obama has chosen his side !!!!
this has been foretold and now that this Pres. has turned his back on Israel and now to have Mr. Graham uninvited to do the day of prayer and for the Pres. to slither up to the muslims …. what he should have done is say tough to them and give the go ahead to Mr. Graham……See you all in the Rapture when the shout comes….God Bless all who read this and God Bless America….1776 in 2010
True persecution is coming soon. Some of us, before thei is all over and the rapture takes place, might have to die as martyrs. I think I am ready. I am ready to see God but am I ready to die? I think so!
Franklin Graham shows wisdom that age has diluted in his esteemed father. Billy preached End Times theology since the Fifties. Now that it is at the door, Billy meets with the chief promulgator in friendly dialogue. The Earth heaves and trembles with myriad natural and man-made calamities. God's Anger or His withdrawal of Grace? The beginnings of sorrows, Billy?
Disgraceful Administration…..National Day of Prayer started in 1952 by CONGRESS! For Obama not to attend as leader of this Country is poor taste at best. To deny Graham to call upon Blessings of Our Country is reckless. To see our Civil Liberties, freedom of speech denied, yet to force us to pay for programs like stem cell research, abortions, and the Congress lifetime healthcare and pensions is not to treat each American the same. What is good for Congress is good for the people……….why should they have more than the people they are supposed to be serving? Our military does not get more and they SHOULD, for they lay down their lives to protect us. Congress has become a vehicle for liberal ideas and taxation that will put us all on welfare. This country is becoming unrecognizable to those who love her.
America has lost sight and direction…and we are being led like lambs to the slaughter by the Obama administration policies. So sad it has come to this…may God extend mercy to our nation, and may we as citizens find the will and strength to confront the wrongs that are tearing this nation apart…and endure the turbulance that is surely ahead.
Hussain makes friends with all the enemies of the United States and makes enemies of our few friends! He is a closet Muslim dancing to the strings of Arabia and George Soros. He is purposely destroying this country by dismantleing our defenses and our laws. How much longer are we going to take this crap from a pretender? When will Americans rise up and throw this pretender and his radical cronies into jail for treason. Are we going to wait until one of these MUSLIM TERRORISTS actually carries our a successful attack? Clinton did the same thing and we got 9/11. This time it will be nuclear and far worse.
Obviously Rev. Franklin Graham has read the Koran, which clearly states the treatment in the Koran of both Jews and Christians. Sadly, the average American has never delved into what is written in the Koran. Most are too busy and too lenient of others and their religious beliefs that the hatred described in the Koran against Jews and Christians is not only intolerable to average Americans, but also quite unbelievable that this hatred is written in the book of the Muslim religion. We all need to hear what Rev. Graham is saying. I hope that an invitation to the Day of Prayer is re-extended–how can Evangical Christiams be denied a place at the Day of Prayer table with all the other religious denominations–even those who espouse insulting and killing Jews and Christians. If anyone calls the Muslim religion his/her faith, the reading of the Koran must be part of the study of the Muslim religion. Many people of other religions never study his particular religion–I think all the more reason for Rev. Graham to be at this Prayer Day – all religions by right will be helped by an interdenominational Prayer Day.
If the so called christians and the jewish people had voted for what is right in the eyes of God. We wouldn’t have the shame on us now.
