The Rev. Franklin Graham kept up his warnings about Muslim influence on the White House in a recent interview with a Christian media company, saying that “radical Islamists” are “advising various levels of government.”
The son of evangelist Rev. Billy Graham made the statements in a video interview, which was dated Monday but appeared to have been posted online this weekend, with Christian Broadcasting Network chief executive Gordon Robertson on “The 700 Club Interactive.”
“There are Muslims that have access to him in the White House; our foreign policy has a lot of influence now from Muslims,” Graham said. “We see the prime minister of Israel being snubbed by the President and by the White House and by the Democrats, and it’s because of the influence of Islam.”
“They hate Israel and they hate Christians, and so the storm is coming,” Graham added.
The comments were similar to those Graham recently made during an interview with Fox News in which he warned viewers that Washington had been “infiltrated by Muslims.”
During the “700 Club” interview, Graham also criticized former President George W. Bush.
“The Bush Administration began to allow Muslims to come into various governmental agencies to advise us how to respond to Muslims, how to respond to Islam after 9/11,” Graham said. “And what’s happened is that you now have radical Islamists that are advising various levels of government.”

I bet sinners “have access” to Mr. Graham does that say anything?
Is it wrong and bad to get advice from Muslims? Because I went to a presumably Muslim (Muslimy name!) periodontist once not long ago. Seemed like he knew his stuff, nice guy, all that. He didn’t try to radicalize my teeth or anything. I think Franklin might be more radical than the Muslims he’s all worried about.
OK. Beyond the fact that I will never (never ever) support any of these yahoos getting any (more) political or financial power, I do gotta ask why this particular d-bag gets so much airtime. Trading on daddy’s name should go away once you credibility is shot…
You nailed the heart of the matter: the radical so-called “Christian” extremists in the US are significantly more radical than the overwhelming majority of Muslims, Christians, Jews, and followers of other faiths.
Difference is those radical “Christians” here in the US have a disproportionately large megaphone, thanks to years of perceived victimhood that fuels those radical “Christians”.
Please clarify, Rev. Are you referring to the 6-7 million Americans who are Muslim? Or are you referring to representatives from allied Islamic countries such as Saudi Arabia? Why shouldn’t our fellow citizens or foreign embassies “have access” to our government? Consider the First Amendment in your response.
