Franklin Graham, son of legendary evangelist Billy Graham, is creating quite a reputation for himself...and it's one that some don't like. The younger Rev. Graham's reputation is one of a straight shooter, if you will, where he doesn't mince his words and says what he believes, and he says it with conviction.
For many years now, as a result of his work with Samaritan's Purse, he has been very vocal about the evils of Islam and the dangers that radical followers of this relgion present. NewsMax posted part of an interview that Franklin Graham did with the Los Angeles Slimes...oops, i meant Times, during the recent Billy Graham Evangelistic Association held in the City of Angels:
For Franklin Graham, that includes his opposition to gay marriage and the religion of Islam.The former is contrary to God's law, he said. And though many gay and lesbian couples believe their love is genuine, Franklin told the Times, "there were people who for centuries swore up and down the Earth was flat too.

And though many gay and lesbian couples believe their love is genuine, Franklin told the Times, "there were people who for centuries swore up and down the Earth was flat too.
"God says [homosexuality is] a sin," he continued. "Yet God loves sinners." And God, he stressed, is willing to forgive.
As to Islam, right after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, Franklin was quoted on "NBC Nightly News" as saying it was "an evil and wicked religion."
And he still feels that way."I haven't changed my mind," he told the paper. "When people's heads get chopped off and throats are cut and innocent people are murdered and slaughtered, my mind hasn't changed."He added: "I don't believe we should be declaring a war on Muslims. Not at all. We have millions in this country who follow Islam and are good citizens and make their home here and [want] to live in freedom just like anyone else.
"But unfortunately, you don't have that in Saudi Arabia," he said. "You don't have that in any country where Muslims have a majority. Christians, Jews are persecuted and in Saudi Arabia, Christians and Jews predated Muslims.
Thank you Mr Graham for standing up for the truth and standing up for God's word!
