Billy Graham's Son says UN is 'Godless' and Global war on terror is Islamic
Billy Graham's son Franklin pulls no punches when discussing
national and world issues. Recently, he declared that the United Nations will fail because
it is a "godless enterprise."
In an interview with The New Yorker magazine, he also told writer Peter J. Boyer that
homosexuality is a sin against God - and abortion is murder.
"I believe that when a woman's right to choose takes the life of another person,
that's a sin against God," said the 53-year-old head of the Billy Graham Evangelical
Association.
After the 9/11 attacks Franklin Graham had said that Islam was "wicked, violent, and
not of the same God."
He was hardly backing away from that view in his New Yorker interview, saying: "The
global war on terrorism, let's give it a name - it's Islamic.
"We're not fighting the Maoists. We're not fighting the Hindus or the Buddhists. It's
Islamic."
