There may be no more fervent defender of the Christian faith — and critic of the radical Islamic agenda — than the Rev. Franklin Graham, son of the famed evangelical minister, the Rev. Billy Graham. When Sharif El-Gamal proposed building a 13-story Islamic community center and mosque two blocks from ground zero in Manhattan, Graham was one of the most vocal opponents. Graham, also CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, is unapologetic about his views on radical Islam. He has professed great love for the Muslim people but has tremendous difficulty with those who use the Islamic religion to advance extremism and violence. As a result of holding fast to his view, even in the face of withering criticism from pro-Islamist groups, Graham remains a major force driving the debate over terrorism and religious extremism.
