UK Officials want to ban Franklin Graham; this is what liberals do. They don't want everyone to be free, just those who embrace their perversion.

"According to the Asheville Citizen Times, several government officials have asked the UK home secretary, Amber Rudd, to consider refusing Graham entry into the country next year when he is slated to be a featured speaker at a September festival. Ironically, the event is being organized by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association U.K., of which Graham is the president and CEO.

The officials have accused Graham of “hate speech,” citing his rhetoric against Islam, Muslims and the LGBT community. As the Guardian noted, Graham has said Islam is “an evil and very wicked religion.”

Shrug. Their laws, their option to ban him.

I'm a lot more concerned that the US bans some individuals from traveling here, based on their political opinions or other reasons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._United_States

This liberal would very much like to see the law(s) allowing the banning of individuals from the US changed. Anyone should be able to come here and speak.

Glad to see that there is the possibility of some bipartisanship here!

I have all kinds of respect for Billy Graham. Franklin is a piece of crap. Should a country ban someone for being a jerk? No, but the U.K. also isn't going to ban him.

"Never in my lifetime have we had a president willing to take a strong, outspoken stand for the Christian faith like President Donald J. Trump has" _____ Franklin Graham

Maybe they should ban him for being out of touch with reality.

Politics is the religion of the left and that is even more noticeable in the UK and the rest of Europe. They will support any disgusting and despicable idea and keep coming up with more. Their control of speech and lack of free speech will hurt them in the long run. The left is trying similar controls here in the US but they are getting checked on universities and colleges by law makers. Free speech isn't a right in most of Europe or the world. Much of what is going on in Europe can't be written about with the same right of fact or opinion as here in the US. We are battling our own right to speech and Europe shouldn't be our model on speech or religion.

Again, this leftist thinks that anyone should be able to visit the US and speak, regardless of politics or anything else.

Please join me in opposing the laws/regs that allow US officials to ban people who want to visit here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._United_States

There should be NO such thing as a list of individuals banned from visiting the US.

I agree about Billy, the apple certainly fell miles from that tree.

So people who believe that non-Muslims and gays should be killed (according to Mohammed) are not banned, but people who think that it is wrong to kill anyone (according to Jesus) is banned?
