On Franklin Graham’s column, “Too many

Muslims among us believe in violence,” he incites fear and suspicion of Muslim Americans. Graham omits mention of the number of Muslim leaders who have banded together to condemn violence, or that a third of the victims of the Nice attacks were Muslim. He must know that the majority of deaths at the hands of the terrorist group of the Islamic State are Muslims. As a Christian leader who works with people of many faiths, I know we can do better. If we are to defeat the threat of terror, it will take all Americans. We must build this world together as part of a multifaith movement for justice and love. As a Christian, Graham should know that “God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and self- control.” Instead of sowing distrust and fear, why don’t we try to “love our neighbor as ourselves,” as Jesus taught?
