Franklin Graham: Obama 'Only Knows Islam,' Gives It a Pass

President Barack Obama was raised surrounded by Islam and it blinds him to the evil being carried out in its name, the Rev. Franklin Graham told Fox News on Tuesday.

Graham appeared on Fox News Channel's "On the Record with Greta Van Susteren"  and was asked by the host about the White House's refusal to use the term "radical Islam" in describing the terrorists in the Islamic State (ISIS), al-Qaida and other groups.

Obama is ignoring the fact that the groups are Islamic extremists," Graham said. "They have already said they want the flag of Islam to fly over the White House."

Graham went on to say that Obama, who has stated he is a Christian, was influenced by Islam from early on.

"His mother was married to a Muslim, his father was a Muslim. Then she married a man from Indonesia. He was raised in Indonesia. Went to Islamic schools. I assume she was a Muslim," Graham said. "So his whole life, his experiences have been surrounded by Islam. He only knows Islam. And he has given a pass to Islam. He is refusing to understand the evil that is in front of him."
