Stop hate speech against Christians. Investigate Franklin Graham’s bullying opponents for hate crimes.

PETITION from Voice for Justice UK:

Ideologues intent on imposing their rebranded views on society are increasingly trying to drive Christians out of the public arena. The latest victim is American evangelist Franklin Graham, who planned a four-month evangelistic tour of the UK, in hopes of sparking a Revival similar to that spearheaded by his father Billie Graham, in the 1950s.

Activists have mounted a campaign to get the tour stopped, branding Mr Graham homophobic, because he maintains, in line with the Bible, that homosexuality is a sin. In defence, Mr Graham has said that we are all sinners – himself included – and that we all stand in need of Christ’s forgiveness. Dismissing this well-established Christian doctrine, however, his opponents have continued their campaign of vilification, with the result that arenas booked across the country have now cancelled ((https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/billy-grahams-son-defiant-as-tour-dates-axed-lp95thncj).

In a democratic society committed to the rule of law, how can these venomous and intimidatory tactics – that drive out someone who has done no wrong, and who hasn’t broken the law – ever be acceptable? How is it possible that those attacking Mr Graham should be allowed to be so intolerant and bigoted, categorically refusing the right of Bible-believing Christians to defend their faith?
