Graham happily admits that he has a close friendship with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il - as he had one with the dictator’ father and predecessor Kim Il-sung. In June of 2005 he claimed on Larry King Live that the Kim dynasty considers him “a part of their family.” This must be disturbing information for many people throughout the world, particularly Christians, for the Kim government is responsible for the worst forms of political and religious repression throughout the second half of the twentieth century. Religious freedom in North Korea is non existent- Kim Jong-il, like his late father, declares himself to be a deity. According to a ranking published by the organization Open Doors, North Korea is currently the country with the most severe persecution of Christians worldwide [2]. Any person that is found to not be in one-hundred percent conformity with the nation’s strict code of ethics, which includes fully recognizing the proclaimed god-like status of the country’s “beloved

leader”, is either sent to one of country’s numerous concentration camps or flat out executed. However, Graham has the doctrinal belief that it should only be God who judges people, for this appears to be the reason why he declares his love for everybody, even the worst of humanity.

Suzane you are so full of crap it's amazing. Yes, it's from wikipedia. Congratulations. You know how to use the internet just like everyone else. I meant to quote and I missed it. SUE ME.
Billy Graham is a fraud just like every other preacher, too bad if you don't like it.

Plagerism!
This is a word-for-word "cut and paste" of a contested statement posted on Wikipedia's "Billy Graham" entry; scroll down to "Controversies" and read the last bullet point. Didn't think you'd get caught, did you?!
Assuming Wikipedia's statement is true (and I'm not at all convinced), I remind you of an ancient saying: "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer." The International Christian Concern and Voice of the Martyrs certainly both document the atrocities against Christians that occur in North Korea. It's chilling to think how much worse it would be if SOMEONE wasn't advocating for our persecuted brothers and sisters!
P.S.-- YahooRFascist, judging by your comment re: my response, I can only say you proved yourself to be a very angry person. I pity you.

Do you surely have self belief that Billy Graham an evangilist for God might want to pick to damage Gods little ones. Billy Graham has done wonders in bringing human beings to the Lord, while many were kept by skill of Jesus. i do not for one minute comprehend why you would possibly want to question some one like this?

Billy Graham like everyone else is not perfect, however his message about God is still good. As far as being friends with others that is none of our buisness, but no I would not support anyone whom supports someone whom brings distruction. However I have enjoyed Billys teachings.

If people would read the Bible before posting things like this, there would be a better understanding of Gods word and teachings. Showing people what Gods love does in your life to those who don't know Him is what God instructs us to do. Gods word says to walk, eat, and sleep, and carry His word among the non-believers.
How else is someone going to take the word of God to them??

Yeah, well I do question some of Billy Graham's tactics.
He's not God to me and I do not find him above reproach.

Billy Graham is a troll. And so is Benny Hinn.

So...are you asking us to play God here? Just wondering. Leave it to him. Jesus was friends with sinners as well as Christians.
