Franklin Graham, who heads the Samaritan’s Purse organization as well
as the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, has endorsed GOP
presidential front-runner Donald Trump’s idea of halting Muslim
immigration into the United States, at least temporarily.
He warns there’s a good reason: some 144,000 Muslims already in the
United States “who openly say without hesitation that violence in the
name of Islam is justified!”
Graham’s comments have been posted over the last 24 hours on his
Facebook page, where he noted the mantra from “political leaders and
world experts” that “the vast majority of Muslims are peaceful people.”
“Some have suggested that as many as 99 percent fall into this
category. Well, we don’t have to guess or estimate; the Pew Research
Center has released extensive research on how Muslims in the U.S.
self-identify on questions of violence – and the conclusions are
frightening.”
Graham cited the 1.8 million Muslim adults in the United States.
“Pew Research released that eight percent of adult Muslims in the
U.S. said that suicide bombings and other forms of violence in the name
of Islam are ‘sometimes’ or ‘often’ justified. Think about it – that’s
144,000 Muslims who openly say without hesitation that violence in the
name of Islam is justified!
“That’s not ‘peaceful’ and that’s not a small number – it’s about the
size of the entire population of Syracuse, New York!” he wrote.

know about Islam and the violent, expansionary ideology that seeks the
subjugation and destruction of other faiths, cultures and systems of
government
“I’m 100 percent sure of this – our nation and our politicians need
to realize the dangers of allowing people into this country that are not
properly vetted.”
Earlier he wrote, in endorsing Trump’s idea, that the simple fact a
part of America’s Muslim population believes the Constitution should be
ruled by Shariah is a concern.
“For some time I have been saying that Muslim immigration into the
United States should be stopped until we can properly vet them or until
the war with Islam is over,” he wrote.
“Research shows that there are 2.75 million Muslims living in the
U.S. According to a poll commissioned by the Center for Security Policy,
51 percent of Muslims living in America believe ‘Muslims in America
should have the choice of being governed according to Shariah’ [Islamic
law] instead of the U.S. Constitution.”
He continued, “Twenty-nine percent agree that violence against those
who insult Mohammad is acceptable, and 25 percent agree that violence
against America can be justified as part of global jihad. … This is
frightening.”
Trump had called for a halt to Muslim immigration into the U.S. until
those in Washington can figure out what to do regarding Islamist
terror, especially that inside the U.S. His comments came in the
aftermath of the Islamic terror attack in California where a radicalized
husband and wife shot and killed 14 and wounded another 21 at a county
Christmas party.
Trump has made it clear he is not insulting a religion, but addressing a security concern.
The result of Trump’s comments is that he’s gotten more popular in polls and the Washington Times reported now nearly two-thirds of “likely Republican primary voters support Donald Trump’s plan to bar Muslims from the United States.”
That report cited a Bloomberg Politics poll showed 65 percent of
likely Republican voters approved of the Muslim ban, compared to 22
percent who opposed it and 13 percent who didn’t know.
WND had reported on the Pew results just this week.
and the report explained that with only 1 percent of the nation’s
population, Muslims managed to account for half of all the nation’s
terror attacks following the 9/11 terror attacks.
Mark Krikorian, chief of the Center for Immigration Studies,
explained, “That means Muslims in the United States are about 5,000
percent more likely to commit terrorist attacks than non-Muslims.”
The Pew results also suggested a political reason for a Democrat
White House to be pursuing hundreds of thousands of such immigrants to
bring to the U.S.
Pew found that 70 percent of Muslims in the U.S. vote Democratic, while only 11 percent vote Republican.
