Franklin Graham takes on the Pope

Posted by | August 2, 2016 09:01 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics Religion


Billy Graham’s son Franklin is going after Pope Francis for saying “Islam is not terrorism.”

Referring to the Pope’s recent remarks that the world is at war but it is not a war of religion, Graham begged to differ, posting on Facebook that “I disagree that it’s not a war of religion. It is most certainly a war of religion.”

Pope Francis has recently expressed his conviction that all religions seek peace, and that religious beliefs cannot possibly be the force driving Islamic terrorism. Rather than religion, the Pope pointed to economic inequalities and a misguided global economy as the dynamo behind jihadism.

In his rebuke of the Pope’s interpretation of Islamic terror, Rev. Graham said that religion “is behind the violence and jihad we’re seeing in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and here in this country.”

“It’s a religion that calls for the extermination of ‘infidels’ outside their faith, specifically Jews and Christians,” Graham said.

    No Frankie. Facts prove 7% Jewish extremist attacks vs 6% Islamist extremist attacks.

    The Pope is trying to tamp down the hate in the world and especially from the ultra-right wing in our country seeing what Trump is doing.
    We all understand that there are evil people who “follow” various religions and who interpret their “holy books” in a manner that makes them feel they are allowed to do evil things they want to do anyway. These people are black souls, like Trump, as Mr. Khan stated. This problem is not just a Muslim one.
    Graham should know much better, but apparently he is unable to think, being blinded by the hate of extremist Christianity.

      Knowing better and not giving a damn is what’s going on here.

    He isn’t half the man his father is/was…and Billy wasn’t that great either.

    Franklin Graham’s ignorance is astounding but not unexpected, it’s how you keep a bunch of followers feeding you their lives, money and anything else you might want. Truly a ”Stalin” of religious parasitology.

    If his father was alive he’d take Frankie’s bible, whack him over the head with it
    and send him back to sunday school to start over.
    Bill was no saint but he was no fool either.

    Did Graham also explain how the Zika virus in Miami is because of “the gays”? If not I’m sure it’s coming.

    I would share this to Twitter but the original link is to Breitbart…and no way am I sending anyone there.

    “It’s a religion that calls for the extermination of ‘infidels’
    The same could be said of christian extremists.
    The bloody history of christianity is easy for some to forget.

    The Pope has spent a lifetime serving the people thru religion
    Franklin Graham has spent a lifetime making money and calling it religion

    Graham is a kind of cracker in more ways than one.
