The Reverend Franklin Graham, son of the famous evangelist Billy Graham, recently declared that Islam has not changed for 1,500 years and is still a “religion of war.”
He also wants Muslims to know that they “do not have to die for God,” and that they can gain eternal life by believing in God’s Son, Jesus.
In a December 6th interview with Christian Today, Reverend Graham was asked about comments he made in 2001 following the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He replied that he had not changed his mind about Islam at all, and then he stated: “This is Islam. It has not been hijacked by radicals. This is the faith, this is the religion. It is what it is. It speaks for itself.”
He then added: “It (Islam) is the same. It is a religion of war.”
Reverend Graham then shared how he thinks Christians should share the gospel with Muslims:
“I think it is very important that we do all that we can to try to share God’s love with Muslims because they have no hope outside of dying in Jihad. I want them to know, you do not have to die for God. God died for us. He sent His Son to die for us.”
Last month, Franklin Graham drew attention for criticizing a Muslim prayer service at the National Cathedral.  He said on his Facebook page November 18: “It’s sad to see a church open its doors to the worship of anything other than the One True God of the Bible who sent His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to earth to save us from our sins.”
