Franklin Graham wonders why President Obama keeps defending Islam but remains silent on Christian concerns

Rev. Franklin Graham is not through yet with his criticism of U.S. President Barack Obama regarding the latter's response to Sunday's mass shooting in Orlando, Florida. Graham believes Obama should have condemned the shooting as "an act of radical Islamic terrorism" and not just "an act of terror and hate."

Graham is also chastising Obama for voicing his opposition against stricter border control. "Mr. President, I read in The New York Times today where you reportedly blasted Donald J. Trump for wanting to tighten the borders and accused him of painting a whole religion as violent," Graham writes on his Facebook page.

The evangelist thinks it's unfair how a Muslim could murder 49 innocent people and injure 53 others in a gay club, and yet the President would still defend the religion of Islam.

In comparison, "a Christian who refuses to bake a homosexual's wedding cake endures prosecution, financial ruin, and nation-wide shaming because of their faith, and you stay silent," says Graham.

"What Omar Mateen did was following the teachings of the Koran. It is incomprehensible that you will not acknowledge the dangers of Islam's teachings in order to protect the American people under your watch," says Graham.

Meanwhile, Graham is also busy with his Decision America Tour. His recent stop was in Wisconsin where over 5,600 people gathered at the capitol lawn to pray for the nation.

"It was a privilege to stand in prayer with thousands of people who love the Lord and love their country. Yes, there were some protesters, but that's okay; they heard the Gospel message I shared as well," says the evangelist.

Graham noticed that there were some atheists who held up signs that read, "I'm not afraid to burn in hell." However, he is not angry with them and only feels sad because he knows one day they will change their minds.
