The GREAT Billy Graham is dead. There was nobody like him! He will be missed by Christians and all religions. A very special man.

1. I have to wonder what the North Vietnamese

whatever their religion think given that Graham wanted to bomb their dikes.

https://www.counterpunch.org/2013/11/01/when-billy-graham-urged-nixon-to-kill-a-million-people/

Back in April, 1989, a Graham memo to Nixon was made public. It took the form of a secret letter from Graham, dated April 15, 1969, drafted after Graham met in Bangkok with missionaries from Vietnam. These men of God said that if the peace talks in Paris were to fail, Nixon should step up the war and bomb the dikes. Such an act, Graham wrote excitedly, “could overnight destroy the economy of North Vietnam”.

Graham lent his imprimatur to this recommendation. Thus the preacher was advocating a policy to the US Commander in Chief that on Nixon’s own estimate would have killed a million people. The German high commissioner in occupied Holland, Seyss-Inquart, was sentenced to death at Nuremberg for breaching dikes in Holland in World War Two. (His execution did not deter the USAF from destroying the Toksan dam in North Korea, in 1953, thus deliberately wrecking the system that irrigated 75 per cent of North Korea’s rice farms.)

You should start an OP - down memory lane with the fake Rev. Dr. Graham.

9. Or Jewish people in the United States

Don't forget Billy Graham was caught on tape urging Richard Nixon to “do something” about the “Jewish stranglehold” on the United States.
