Franklin Graham, chief executive of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and of the international Samaritan's Purse aid organization, took to Facebook to decry the justification University of Minnesota students gave for not holding a September 11 honor ceremony – that being, one of fear.

As the Washington Post reported, the student government at the university rejected a resolution to hold annual September 11 remembrances out of concern the activities could spread "Islamophobia." The Minnesota Republic reported the Minnesota Students' Association's representative, David Algadi, warned "the passing of this resolution might make a space that is unsafe for students on campus even more unsafe [because] Islamophobia and racism fueled through that [day] are alive and well."

Algadi also reportedly asked: "When will we start having moments of silence for all of the times white folks have done something terrible?"

The resolution for the annual ceremony ultimately failed with a vote of 36 to 23, and three abstentions.

Graham found the justification for the no-go vote curious.

What if 9/11 was not just a senseless act of terror, but also a deliberate divine judgment of immense prophetic significance? "The 9/11 Prophecy" makes the case through Scripture, history and amazing current events

He wrote on Facebook, referencing the Islamophobia fears: "You'd better believe we should be afraid of Islam! Islamic terrorists just killed over 129 people in Paris and injured 350. Islamic terrorists brought down a Russian airliner over the Sinai, killing 224 people. Islamic terrorists, in two bombings ... killed 46 and injured 120 in Nigeria. And let us never forget the Islamic terrorists took the lives of nearly 3,000 Americans on September 11, 2001, and injured scores at the Boston Marathon bombing."

Graham said "not commemorating 9/11 would be like not remembering Pearl Harbor because we don't want to possibly offend the Japanese."

And on that, Graham asked bluntly: "How stupid is that?"

In "Stop the Islamization of America: A Practical Guide to the Resistance," renowned activist Pamela Geller provides the answer, offering proven, practical guidance on how freedom lovers can stop jihadist initiatives in local communities.

Graham then referenced former President George W. Bush's remarks of the passage of time, but the remembrance of September 11.

He then sent a direct message to the University of Minnesota students: "Here's my message to the students ... wake up, we live in a dangerous world."
