FRANKLIN GRAHAM SEEKS ISLAMIC APOLOGY?

During a tour promoting his newest book, The Name, Franklin Graham said that Islamic clerics should apologize for the mass murders committed in the name of Islam on September 11th. Muslim spokesmen say they will never apologize because their religion was not responsible for the attacks. To compound the lie that Islam was not responsible, Faiz Rehman of the American Muslim Council had the gall to state that 400 to 500 of the 3,000 killed in the World Trade Center were Muslims. He was claiming that up to 16% of those killed in the Twin Towers were Muslim.

The Islamic holy books say a Muslim cannot lie to another Muslim. However, a Muslim has no responsibility to tell the truth to a non-Muslim or even to honor a signed contract with a non-Muslim. So it is not unusual for an Islamic spokesman such as Faiz Rehman to lie to a newspaper about something as serious as claiming that 16 out of every 100 killed at the World Trade Center were Muslims.

But why lie about this? Because the Muslims also lie about the Jews in the World Trade Center that fateful day. According to the Islamic press, the Jews were warned of the attacks and did not come to work on September 11th. "Mainstream" Islamic press accounts of 9-11 claim that the buildings were full of Muslims as planned by the Jews, and that the attack was conducted by Israel. It fits the big lie.
