Rev. Franklin Graham Warns Fox Viewers DC Has Been 'Infiltrated By Muslims'

The Rev. Franklin Graham warned Fox News viewers on Thursday night that governments in the West, "especially in Washington," have been "infiltrated by Muslims."

Graham, the son of the evangelist preacher Rev. Billy Graham and president of the group named after him, was responding to a question from Fox News host Bill O'Reilly's about why the world "will not unite to stop" the Islamic State terrorist group.

Franklin Graham began to answer by assuring Muslim viewers that he loved and was praying for them before continuing.

"One of the problems we have in the West is that our governments, especially in Washington, has been infiltrated by Muslims who are advising the White House, who I think are part of the problem," Graham said. "And we see this also in Western Europe. They have gotten into the halls of power."

O’Reilly pushed back, asking for Graham to name a Muslim adviser to President Obama. "I do know that they are there. I’ve been told this by a number of people," Graham responded. "I’m not saying that they’re sitting next to the President, whispering into his ear. But they are in the halls."

by brain borers?

Why would President Obama need a Muslim adviser? Is the President not a Kenyan born Muslim himself? Sounds like Franklin has drunk so much Tea Party KKKool-ade that his brain is affected.

6. This isn't anything new at Billy Graham's ministry, it's just been hidden.

Billy Graham agreed with Richard Nixon when he made a vicious anti-Semitic comment, then Graham lied about it.

The tapes though proved he did say it.

Then he claimed "he couldn't remember..."
