Permalink Sarah Palin Defends Claim That Islam Is “Evil And Wicked Religion”

Ben Smith points out that Sarah Palin has come out in defense of evangelist Franklin Graham, Billy Graham’s son, who was disinvited by the Army from an official ceremony because of his history of anti-Islam remarks. For once, this counts as Palin making real news: She’s siding with someone who unequivocally said Islam is a “very evil and wicked religion” in 2001. In defending Graham, Palin claimed that Graham’s remarks were directed only at radical and violent Jihadists. Actually, no, his comments weren’t aimed only at those radical enough to kill and subjugate women. They were directed at all of Islam. Here, according to the Charlotte Observer on November 19th, 2001, is what Graham said:

“We’re not attacking Islam but Islam has attacked us. The God of Islam is not the same God. He’s not the son of God of the Christian or Judeo-Christian faith. It’s a different God and I believe it is a very evil and wicked religion.”
