"I don't care because what I said was true."

In a recent podcast interview,
evangelist Franklin Graham stood by his previous assertion that America should
curtail immigration by Muslims.
“Every Muslim that comes into this country has the potential
to be radicalized,” he wrote earlier this year, “— and they do their killing to
honor their religion and Muhammad.”
He reiterated that belief this week, affirming that his
position is justified.
When I asked him
about it, Franklin Graham doubled down on his shocking Muslim immigration

“I don’t care,” he said, “because what I said was true. I’m
thinking of my children, my grandchildren. I’m thinking of Americans who live
everyday lives, who don’t understand.”
@BillyHallowell Why
is this shocking? During WWII immigration slowed to almost zilch. Those we did
take had to provide character witnesses. — R. Deniston (@Obolerfan) October 2, 2015
Graham went on to cite a survey that found one in four
practitioners of Islam in the U.S. support suicide bombings, explaining that
allowing more Muslims into the nation would only exacerbate an already brewing
threat. He also said that, instead of Obama’s plan to allow thousands of Syrian
Muslims to seek refuge in America, we should be welcoming the Christians and
other minorities “being persecuted by Islam” in that nation.
He concluded that “the potential for some of these people to
turn on this nation for our kindness and our gratitude and commit murder” will
exist as long as the Muslim community is allowed to flourish and grow in the
U.S.
Beyond small, local acts of violence, Graham warned that “it
could be a large event that could take the lives of many people.”
