A messianic Jewish leader is pleased that evangelist Franklin Graham continues
to tell the truth about Islam and won't buckle to the demands of the Council on
American Islamic Relations (CAIR).
Recently Graham was interviewed by
CNN's Campbell Brown who asked the evangelist about comments he made in 2001
when he referred to Islam as "a very evil and wicked religion."
Graham
did not back down from that assessment. Instead he replied that "true Islam
cannot be practiced in this country. You can't beat your wife. You cannot murder
your children if you think they've committed adultery or something like that,
which they do practice in these other countries," he explained. "I don't agree
with the teachings of Islam, and I find it to be a very violent religion."
Jan Markell, founder and director of Olive Tree Ministries,
argues that Franklin simply spoke the truth as "there are very few people who
are willing.
(Good for Graham. We do need more leaders including spiritual ones who are willing to speak the truth about Islam. We are told again and again Islam is a peaceful faith. If it is so peaceful explain to me why do we have followers of Islam committing the acts that Graham listed. Read more on this issue Graham speaks truth about Islam.)
