Give Franklin Graham Some Slack—and Some Credit

The evangelist shouldn't be defined by his opposition to Islam.

Nevertheless, along with Franklin Graham and millions of Americans, I believe that the treatment of women and the famine of freedom and democracy in many Muslim countries is shocking and should be loudly protested. Early signs from Northern Nigeria, for example, are that the administration of Shari'ah law there is likely to be brutal and inhuman. And lethal attacks on Christian groups and institutions by Muslim groups in Pakistan and Indonesia threaten to destabilize those societies. It is the duty of Americans of every religion and no religion to protest such developments.

Franklin Graham has observed many Muslim societies up close, but he is not only protesting their worst features, he is bringing physical and spiritual aid to thousands in the Islamic world. His actions speak for him.
