Quote:I don't think Hamza could be classed as a scholar but I am reasonably sure there are islamic scholars that are an equal to Graham. Religious zealots are the same no matter what the religion.
Maybe I've mis-understood the use of the word 'scholar' in islamic terms. But even if I have, the Hamza/Graham relationship still stands.
Graham calls himself a Reverend, but isn't member of a proper church. He's a grubby money making Evangelist, who's main aim in life is to rip as much money off gullible God-fearing people as his bank manager can handle. That comment of his about Islam is no more a than publicity stunt to get his mug in the papers, and his hand in your wallet. Why do you think he tried so hard to get the Genesis song banned in America? ( http://www.lyricsfreak.com/g/genesis/58872.html for those that don't know what I'm refering to) He was petrified that it might actually open the eyes of some of his victims.
In short, I'm not a member of the Billy Graham fan club. <_<
