Franklin Graham says Sharia law should be banned in all free countries

Reverend Franklin Graham opposes the Sharia Law in the United States, as well as in other countries that place a high value on freedom and liberty.

American evangelist Franklin Graham truly believes that the Sharia law should be banned in the United States and other countries that "cherish freedom and liberty."

After reading an article published by the BBC about life under radical Islam, Graham said his stand against the Sharia law became clearer than ever, and he shared his thoughts about it on his Facebook page.

"Some Western governments are actually considering allowing Sharia law in certain Muslim communities in their countries — can you believe it? ISIS is imposing Sharia law on hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and Syrians who want to be free. Women are oppressed, Christians and minorities are persecuted and murdered, homosexuals are tortured and killed," he lamented.

Graham has repeatedly pinned down US President Barack Obama for his inaction towards the Middle East crisis, and, once again, the evangelist took a jab at Obama. "President Obama seems to be at a loss as to what to do," he said.

Graham then urged Christians to pray that God will give the president and their leaders wisdom as well as "pray for all those living under Islam."

One of the country's leaders whom Graham also prayed for is Vice President Joe Biden, who just lost his son Beau.

"My sympathy goes out to our Vice President Joe Biden and his family in the loss of his son Beau," Graham wrote. "Beau served as the Attorney General of Delaware for a number of years and was an Iraq War veteran."

He said Beau's death should make people reflect on their lives on Earth and remind everybody about "the brevity of life and how fragile our life on this Earth is."

"Let's pray for the Biden family, especially Beau's wife Hallie and their two children, as they go through this very difficult time," he encouraged.
