America Has an ‘Ugly, Anti-Christian Bias’ Says Franklin Graham

Influential evangelical leader Franklin Graham has issued a powerful warning of growing bias against Christians. He argued that it will lead to discrimination and loss of religious freedom, and praised the courage of those who hold fast to the faith, even at risk of persecution and death.

In an Easter message on his Facebook page, Graham, head of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and of the relief agency Samaritan’s Purse, said that millions of Christians around the world were celebrating the resurrection of Jesus.

Many of them risk their freedom and their lives to worship Christ, he added.

“Even under the threat of imprisonment, they faithfully follow, like Pastor Saeed Abidini [sic] and scores of others.”

Pastor Abedini is an Iranian-American Christian pastor who has been in prison in Iran since 2012. In 2013, he was sentenced to eight years for planting house churches and “attempting to sway Iranian youth away from Islam.” (Read more from “America Has an ‘Ugly, Anti-Christian Bias’ Says Franklin Graham” HERE)
