“You talk about controversy \u2013 my father (Billy Graham) stood with Martin Luther King in the early 1960s,” Graham told\u00a0The Charlotte Observer<\/a>. “My father never worried about polls. I don’t care about them, either. And with the issues we are facing today \u2013 if my father were a younger man, he would be addressing and speaking out in the exact same way I’m speaking out on them.”<\/p>\n

Late last month, Graham suggested that Putin was “right” on how the Russian government had dealt with its LGBT activists.<\/p>\n

“Obviously, he may be wrong about many things, but he has taken a stand to protect his nation’s children from the damaging effects of any gay and lesbian agenda,”\u00a0he wrote<\/a>\u00a0for Decision magazine.<\/p>\n

In 2011, the head of the humanitarian organization Samaritan’s Purse suggested that American Muslims do not genuinely practice their faith, because those who do are violent.<\/p>\n
