Following his controversial appearance on MSNBC, Rev. Franklin Graham spoke to CNN’s Kyra Phillips on Wednesday to blame MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' for bringing up President Obama's religion, which he questioned.

Rev. Graham told CNN: "MSNBC invited me to come on the program not to talk about the president’s faith. I went on to talk about the Newsweek article about the murder and killing of Christians around the world, and that is what is bothering me, is what Muslims are doing to Christians around the world. I wanted to talk about the Newsweek article."

About Obama’s religious beliefs, Rev. Graham said: "The president has said that he is a Christian, just leave it at that…only God knows the heart of all of these candidates."

However, Rev. Graham previously expressed that he believed GOP presidential candidates Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum were Christians.

Give your, "muslims are also being killed" propaganda to the Newsweek editor! You are so arrogant - Newsweek had the article about Muslims KILLING CHRISTIANS! The FACTS Muslims are KILLING CHRISTIANS for NO reason except they are CHRISTIANS! This man of God twice now has tried to make the public aware of muslims KILLING Christians! You are selfish, wanting to have your "gothcha" moment, these horrific atrocities go untold as many of us get our news from television! You couldn't break Franklin and in typical fashion resort to attacking him by proxy of his dead mother, "Stick to Preaching not politics"! Exemplifying hypocrisy.... not one of you ever tell the entertainment world to stick to their craft and not politics! Franklin Graham could have reminded YOU how OBAMA the so-called Christian, had the "Army" ban him from attending the National Day of Prayer, of which he was the Honorary Chairman, because he described Islam as evil and a violent religion. He was Banned for speaking the TRUTH! In The Library of Congress we have several Historical Documents from our first Four Presidents and Gen Eaton proving Islam has not changed since 1784! Jefferson and Adams asked the reason for the unprovoked attacks and here’s a quote from the Ambassador of Tripoli; "It was founded on the laws of their profit Mohammed that it was written in their Koran that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners; that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners; and that every muslim who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise"! It has now been 228 years later and CHRISTIANS, JEWS, AMERICANS are STILL being KILLED by muslims and we are told Islam has recently been hi-jacked by a few radicals! This gov't is confident YOU and the News Media will believe these lies because NONE of you do any investigative research and most of you know nothing about America’s History!

The absolute major detail about Franklin Graham appearing on Morning Joe is simply the fact that any show on MSNBC gets its talking points from Media Matters, who gets their talking points from the Communist Party. So Mr. Graham had to have been aware in advance that going on Morning Joe is like attending a vomit contest? God bless you Franklin, for having the bravery to even get close to any set on MSNBC. I have heard that many true Americans that end up going on any MSNBC show, makes any guest feel like they are watching Mr. Creosote (an impossibly fat man dressed in a tuxedo who hobbles into a ritzy restaurant) in the Monty Python’s the Meaning of Life: Making Room for Dinner movie. When the fish in the tank see him, one of them utters, “Oh s---, it’s Mr. Creosote!” and they swim away for cover. And the vomiting proceeds. No wonder MSNBC's ratings are horrible?

Newt is a "Christian", all right...he's been Lutheran, Southern Baptist, and Catholic...at this rate he'll have all the "Christian" bases covered before he finds his next wife...
