Franklin Graham Says That Obama's Mother 'Must Have Been A Muslim'

Source: People for the American Way



Franklin Graham was a guest on the Family Research Council's "Washington Watch" radio program yesterday where he asserted that President Obama is refusing to fight ISIS because he wants to protect Islam since even his mother was a Muslim.

Ignoring the fact that Obama's father was an atheist and his mother agnostic, Graham told FRC head Tony Perkins that "one of the problems we have [is that Obama's] father was a Muslim, and his step-father was a Muslim. [He] lived in Indonesia and went to Muslim schools. His mother must have been a Muslim — we don't know that, but she married two Muslim men, so there must have been something there. And the framework that the president has growing up, his influences in his life was that of Islam."

"My influences growing up, as many in this country, were under the Christian influence and the biblical influence," he continued. "But our president did not have that, it was Islam and many feel that he's protecting Islam. I don't know that, but it certainly seems that way":

Ol' Franklin slipped off the straight and narrow path in his early days. He was into coke, booze, and wimmen -- lots of all three.

Then, one day, he sobered up and realized his Daddy's scam was worth millions of $$$, so, Franklin got religion, put the Devil behind him, and is now the beneficiary of his Daddy's multi-million $$$ "evangelistic empire."

Either Obama is a Muslim manchurian candidate who is going to destroy america or he's a bigoted christian president because he's been listening to a bigoted pastor for 20 years.

Or you can do the rational thing and blow it all off like the hog wash that it is.

get indoctrinated. Can you imagine the ''blessing of discipline" that Pat Robertson used to describe the beatings he gave his kids growing up? I'd be a little messed up too. I'm sure Graham took his kids to the woodshed as well. Not a bible thumper myself, but I'm sure there's something in there that allows for corporal punishment of wives, kids, and slaves.

They raise loads of money. They held a "revival" here in Binghamton NY a few years ago. They had their advance team living here for a year in advance. Huge numbers of suckers came and laid their money down. Where did it go?

Protecting Islam from what?

"He's protecting Islam." that line right there tells you he believes we are in a war against Islam not against terrorist.

Yeah I guess Obama is protecting Islam from the forgiveness love and peace that Christianity preaches. Hypochristians ill never understand them.

I admired Billy Graham for his integrity and dedication, but Franklin's brand of evangelism, which marries right wing politics with religion, has caused many people to become disillusioned and leave organized religion. Not all the members of the Graham extended family have followed Franklin's unfortunate path. His nephew Boz Tchividjian is a law professor and advocate of the sexually abused within the church. Jullian Tchividjian is a minister at a large church in Florida and preaches a more enlightened Christianity.
