Franklin Graham was on fellow hate monger Tony Perkins' radio show the other day with an accusation that Obama's mother "must have been a Muslim". (I guess this is supposed to imply that Obama himself is a Muslim.) Of course, he gave no explanation or proof other than claiming that Obama's father and step-father were Muslim--both of which are false
There is a term for this kind of innuendo gossipy character assassination. It's called "bearing false witness". In case Mr. Graham has forgotten, it is the 9th Commandment and he can find it in both Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5. There is also another word for it: "sin".
Now it's quite possible that Mr. Graham spends so much time pointing out the alleged sins of the rest of the world that he doesn't have the time or inclination to recognize his own. Or maybe he simply lacks the character and integrity of his father. In any case, like all of us sinners, Franklin Graham is fortunate that God is merciful and forgiving. I hope he confesses his sin and asks for that forgiveness.
