Barraquitter's Facebook Fatwa disses Franklin "Islam is evil and wicked" Graham's dis-invitation

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Sarah Palin is defending evangelist Franklin Graham after he was uninvited to chair a major Pentagon event next month, in light of his inflammatory remarks against Islam.

"It’s truly a sad day when such a fine patriotic man, whose son is serving on his fourth deployment in Afghanistan to protect our freedom of speech and religion, is dis-invited from speaking at the Pentagon’s National Day of Prayer service," Palin wrote in a Facebook post Friday.

The same "fine patriotic man" said in 2001: "We're not attacking Islam but Islam has attacked us. The God of Islam is not the same God. He's not the son of God of the Christian or Judeo-Christian faith. It’s a different God and I believe it is a very evil and wicked religion."

Five years later he told ABC News his views hadn't changed, reiterating the position last year on CNN. Yesterday, he appeared on Fox News and commented, "I want Muslims everywhere to know that Christ can come into their heart and change them... They don't have to die in a car bomb to be accepted by God. They can be free through faith in Jesus Christ and Christ alone."

Palin claimed said his comments were "aimed at those who are so radical that they would kill innocent people and subjugate women in the name of religion" and lamented as a "shame" America's "hyper-politically correct" culture.

In her defense of Franklin Graham, she also referred to his son as "serving on his fourth deployment in Afghanistan to protect our freedom of speech and religion."

1. Every picture I see of her makes her look more like the lizard she really is.

I guess I can thank Swampy for that.
