The Rev. Franklin Graham Tuesday continued his call for halting Muslims from coming into the United States until proper vetting procedures are in place and said that "our country is trouble."
"We have a void in leadership,"
Graham said on Facebook. He leads both the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and the Samaritan's Purse global charity and is the son of the famed evangelist.
"Islamists have told us we will see more of these attacks and we have to take their threats seriously," he added. "I have long supported a temporary halt to immigration, especially for those coming from Muslim countries, until we have a vetting program that works and we can know who these people are.
"If we can't get an accurate background check, they don't come in. It's as simple as that.
"What happened in Brussels, in Paris, and in New York on 9/11 will happen again inside our borders unless something changes, because the current administration has lowered the standards and our president even refuses to acknowledge this as Islamic terrorism.
Graham asked for prayer that "God will give us a strong leader for this nation."
