Rev. Franklin Graham: Obama doesn't want to fight ISIS because his mother was a Muslim



The Rev. Franklin Graham on Wednesday hypothesized that President Obama's hesitancy to fight the Islamic State terror group was because Obama's mother "must have been a Muslim."

<...>

"His mother must have been a Muslim," Graham said. "We don't know that, but she married two Muslim men, so there must have been something there."

"And the framework that the President has growing up, his influences in his life, was that of Islam," he added.

<...>

The reverend said that like many Americans, he enjoyed a Christian upbringing, unlike Obama.

"Our President did not have that. It was Islam. And many feel that he's protecting Islam," he said. "I don't know that, but it certainly seems that way."

----------------

Put aside his stupid insinuation that Obama's mother was Muslim, how can he say Obama is not fighting ISIS?

The US is leading the coalition and has dropped 80% of the bombs on ISIS.

How can one credibly say that Obama isn't fighting ISIS?

This is a common right wing talking point which has no basis in reality.

Everyone but he doesn't follow those teachings. He isn't supposed to be judging others but he seems to think it is his duty. Franklin is pushing his crap to keep the money coming, instead of speaking with kindness he spouts hatred.
