Let me ask this questions: if I am a person of prominent position belonging to some other religion, and based on what is going on in USA and many other Christian countries, if I issue a statement to the effect that Christianity promotes adultery, have no respect of constitution of marriage and in Christian countries women are forced to wear dresses that make them more naked than covered bala bala bala. Is it my freedom of speech or am I misrepresenting a religion. Though many people in USA or other Christian countries have relationships outside the marriages but it is still not true that Jesus or Bible preached this behavior. Here women are inclined to wear more revealing cloths, one extreme is their dresses in Dancing with the Stars. in some cases perhaps they are forced to wear them may be because they want a job in modeling, or feel compelled to compete with that other girl who is leaning on her boyfriend or husband but bottom line is that majority of them wear what they wear at their will.
When you point injustice toward say women in Saudi Arab that is freedom of speech but when you say Islam promotes that injustice that is miss representation of a religion which equates to a lie. We can post things on this discussion thread or anywhere and it won’t have as much impact then a statement from a prominent religious leader. If Graham has valuable services, this is not discrediting him for those but he and people of bigger stature need to be more careful, not just Christian but Muslims as well. I think it was Qazafi who issued some statement about Jahad recently, I forget the detail but I know I condemned him because his statement was also misinterpreting Islam.
I was on this site yesterday and there were about 32 posts of which about 30 strongly opposed your position. Today there are only 20 of which 1/2 mysteriously support your “cause”. What did you do with those posts? I was interested in verifying the statements from a post where they had a speech from the prime minister of Australlia. I am sure you read it and deleted it.
I am appaled at your quote on your home page in which in Hitler fashion you raise the status of patriotism to liken that of a religion. Our Country is not a higher being that takes care of us and deserves our worship but is shaped by those who dwell within it. It is the kind of statements as the one you have quoted in your web page that elevated to Hitler into a power to kill millions of Jews, gypsies, gays, blacks, Polish Christians,and “defected” people. You are nothing more than a media whore utilizing a “cause” in an attempt to gain notariety and maybe have your name land in a history book. I pray no one truly falls for your ill advised proganda. You should be ashamed fallen son of Abraham, no matter what position you attempt to elevate yourself to G*d will blow you away as the dust He formed you from.
Monumental victory for the MRFF, monumental failure for the USA.
Who is the genius that decided that it would be a good idea to ban the very people that ensures thier rights and freedoms are protected?
Is there anything Franklin Graham said about the Moslem faith that isn’t true. Speaking as a woman, I can only say I thank God I was born in a Christian country and not a Moslem one. To tell the truth, I am appalled at your organization’s promotion to rescind the invitation of one of the greatest Christians living today, both in his strong faith and his worldwide charity through Samaritan’s Purse.
Weinstein said he hopes someone more “inclusive” will be invited to replace Graham.
I know, since everyone is jumping in bed with Islam you should invite Osama Bin Laden.Your patriotism is a joke, It is a far cry from Christianity, the one and only true faith.But hey whatever you gotta do
to feel important.
Military Religious Freedom??? Is this a joke. By your own words you say the only religious symbol is the flag, the only scripture is the Constitution and the only faith is patriotism….HOW IS THAT FREEDOM????? Seriously, what is your point?
A victory for an enemy of the state with the complicity of the state. Mikey will soon be defending the Times Square bomber and blaming America. That is what he does. That is who he is. The rest of us are just “Isamophobes”. Right Mikey?
MRFF: I’m so grateful for what you do. Please continue, in good spirit and “with malice towards none,” because for many of us, serving is becoming a difficult choice. In our efforts to contribute to make a better world and a better country, we risk sending our own children a message that the kind of ignorance and chauvinism men like Graham promote, is acceptable. MRFF is making it easier to serve the country while not disserving my family and my faith, and it comforts me more than I can say.
