Franklin Graham: Don\u2019t persecute Christians. Save that for Muslims.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"0426Graham\"Franklin Graham visited Fox\u2019s Eric Bolling for a little Obama-hating, Muslim-bashing and general over-the-top fearmongering session this week. The president, they lamented, is being silent on the persecution of Christians everywhere. They were picking up on a theme espoused by Bill O\u2019Reilly last week, and well, every week\u2014the War on Christians and how our secretly Muslim commander-in-chief is A-OK with that. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhy is Obama so silent on all the atrocities going on against Christians around the world?\u201d Bolling asked Rev. Graham.<\/p>\n

Graham said he could not answer the question, and then answered the question by pointing out that Obama is a Muslim.<\/p>\n

"His father was a Muslim. His stepfather was a Muslim, he went to Muslim schools growing up, his impressions as a young man came from Islam, not the Christian faith," Graham said. \u201cThat might have something to do with it, I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sounds like he does know, though, doesn\u2019t it? Sounds like he\u2019s pretty cocksure.<\/p>\n

The mess in Iraq? All Obama\u2019s fault. Bolling and Graham (two former military commanders, after all) know for a fact that Obama pulled troops out of Iraq too early. <\/p>\n

But back to that Muslim-bashing thing.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a Christian, I want to emulate Christ,\u201d Graham said. Then in very Christlike fashion, he went after Muslims. \u201cThe Muslims want to emulate their prophet Mohammed. Mohammed raped, he murdered, he killed and so we’re seeing the followers of Islam emulate the prophet Mohammed."<\/p>\n

Muslims are bad everywhere, according to Graham, but especially here. We need to get rid of them. \u201cWe have to be careful of the Muslims in this country. We need to stop the immigration… of Muslims coming to this country from countries that have active terrorist cells."<\/p>\n

He\u2019s really got that Christ-like behavior down pat, doesn\u2019t he?..<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If I were to emulate Christ, as Graham suggests, I would make a lash of cords and use it to drive out Graham and the rest of the Republican Supply-side pseudo Christians.  That\u2019s what Jesus did with the Republicans of His day.<\/font><\/p>\n
