Franklin
Graham: Muslims Kill Christians To Emulate Muhammad
The Rev. Franklin Graham says that just as he tries to
“emulate” Jesus, who was “a man of peace,” Muslims try to emulate their leader,
who “was a man of war.”
“Muhammad was a man of war and he killed many people,”
Graham told Tucker Carlson on “Fox & Friends Weekend” on Sunday. “Jesus
Christ came as a man of peace, and as a follower of Christ I follow him and I
want to emulate Him. But the followers of Islam are emulating the prophet
Muhammad, and that’s what you’re seeing carried out.”
“We have to be very careful and understand that Islam
— the teachings of Islam — are militant,” the president of the Samaritan’s
Purse charity said. ” I’m talking about, when you read the Quran, when you read
the Surra, it’s very militant.”
According to Graham, one of the reasons for the rise
of Christian persecution in the Middle East was the fall of the former Iraqi leader
Saddam Hussein.
“When Iraq was invaded by our country — and I’m not
saying this was right or wrong, I’m just saying it’s a fact — there was a large
Christian minority. Saddam Hussein gave them quite a lot of freedom,” he
explained.
“But when that government fell and the new government
came to power, the Islamists in the country, al-Qaida and others, began to
attack and burn churches,” Graham said.
“We’ve seen that happen throughout Iraq, and now it’s
happening in Syria,” he explained.
And now as a result, “the Christian community is being
slaughtered by the Muslims, and they’re being forced to leave,” he said.
According to Graham, “there used to be large Christian
and Jewish communities in Saudi Arabia. But over the centuries they have been
exterminated by the Muslims.
“This isn’t something that has just happened with
ISIS. This has been going on for centuries, and has been going on in Egypt,” he
said.
“When those Egyptian men [Coptic Christians] had their
heads cut off, that’s not the first time,” he said. “That’s been going on in
Egypt for a long time.”
However, Graham made it clear that he doesn’t “want
the Muslims out there to think that I’m bashing them. I’m not. I love Muslims
and I want them to know what I know — that God loves them, that Jesus Christ
died for their sins, that he rose from the grave, he can come into the heart,
and they can have that hope of heaven and that hope of eternal life.”
The son of the Rev. Billy Graham said that he is also
concerned about “persecution [coming] in this country. We’ve already seen many
laws that have been passed that restrict our freedom as Christians.
P.S: Please consider the serious issue on Christian
persecution which will increase as we see these events unfold. we operate a
very effective mission in rescuing fellow Christians. We are a unique
organization (Rescue
