Franklin Graham on Terror on Bourbon Street: ‘The Issue Is the Human Heart’
Media, law enforcement, and the mayor are suggesting that the horrific act of violence in New Orleans may be a case of terrorism
BREITBART
“The issue is the human heart,” Rev. Franklin Graham said following the heartbreaking scene that unfolded on New Orleans’ iconic Bourbon Street on New Year’s Day, with at least ten dead and dozens more injured after a suspect drove a vehicle through a crowd and then opened fire.
“Media, law enforcement, and the mayor are suggesting that the horrific act of violence on Bourbon Street in New Orleans early this morning may be a case of terrorism,” Graham began, citing the police commissioner who said that the suspect — shot dead by police — was “hell bent on…carnage.”
“Whether it is terrorism or not, the issue is the human heart. This is a clear indication of the evil in the human heart, and the evil that is around us in this world,” Graham continued. “After brutally running over dozens of people, the driver opened fire on the police and two officers were shot. We pray for those who lost loved ones and the many injured.”
He then offered a sobering reminder:
This tragic incident is a reminder of how important it is for each of us to be ready to stand before God. None of us know when we might be caught in a vortex of violence and evil, and our lives on this earth will come to an end. The only hope for all of us is if we repent of our sin and put our faith and trust in Jesus Christ.

“Upon further investigation, a total of 10 victims were declared to be deceased on scene. At this time, approximately 35 additional victims were determined to have suffered injuries in relation to this incident,” according to the New Orleans Police Department.
