Time for world to 'respond decisively' to ISIS war declaration€”Franklin Graham

American evangelist Franklin Graham believes in only one God, and try as the Islamic State (ISIS) might to bring people to their religion by instilling fear and fomenting violence, Graham vows that he will "bow my knee to no one except Almighty God."

On his Facebook page, Billy Graham's son said that it's high time the world "respond decisively" to Islam's declaration of war.

"Thursday, suicide bombers struck Beirut, killing at least 41 people and injuring 200 in the deadliest attack in the capital since the end of Lebanon's civil war in 1990. Just over two weeks ago ISIS blew up the Russian jetliner taking 224 lives. Then the shocking and devastating Paris attacks," he writes.

"Let's not forget what they have already done in America, killing nearly 3,000 people on 9/11 and then the carnage at the Boston Marathon in 2013. Add to these attacks the lone wolf Islamists who have followed the call to bring destruction and terror – it's a long list."

Former security advisor to the French government Alain Bauer has said on CBS 60 Minutes that the world needs "to take ISIS at their word," and Graham could not agree more.

"They have told us what they plan to do. Their goal is world domination. They want to control us — they want to destroy us. I don't know about you, but I don't want to live under Islam," says Graham.

"I will bow my knee to no one except Almighty God. The Bible says one day at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father' – and that will include the knees of Islamists."

Graham underscores that choosing the next leader of America is more pivotal than ever since the new president should be willing to take the fight to the ISIS.

"We need to join forces with Russia who was our ally in WWII, France who is our oldest ally, Germany, and others to destroy this enemy. The French are already responding to Friday's attacks, but it is going to take much more to stop them," he says. "Our world is in great peril. We need to pray for God's mercy, His grace, and His protection. I pray that America will turn to God before it's too late."
