FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION
APPLJCATION FOR CERTIFlED SECURITY CONCERN
Applicant: Samaritan's Purse,
Intemational Disaster Relief Charit y
801 Bamboo Road
Boone, North Carolina 28607
Aircraft: I. Model: Dassault Falcon 900EX, serial number 37, N900FJ
(Operator of Aircraft)
2. Model: Beechcraft King Air 300, serial number FA33, N262SP
(Owner/Operator of Aircraft)
Ceatifying Official: Ron E. Wi lcox, Chief Operating Officer, Samaritan's Purse
Request for Approval of Certified Security Concern:
Background
Samaritan' s Purse is an international Christian disaster relief agency that works in over
100 count ries around the world. Samaritan's Purse provides assistance in countries wi th harsh or
diffi cult conditions and with complex political environments, such as Southern Sudan, Somalia,
Haiti, Jordan, Iraq, Afghanistan and North Korea. Samatitan's Purse has international affiliate
offices in the Australia, Canada, Gennany, Hong Kong, and the United Kingdom. Combined
contributions for the United States and international offi ces are over $500 million.
The President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board for Samaritan' s Purse
is Frankli n Graham. Mr. Graham is also the Chief Executive Officer of the BiJly Graham
Evangelistic Association. Mr. Graham is an author and a frequent guest on maj or news networks
sucb as CNN, Fox News, ABC and many others. He is a well-known, public fi gure that attracts
media attention because of the worldwide work of Samaritan's Purse and the Bill y Graham
Evangelistic Association and due to the fact he is often interviewed to discuss cutting-edge,
worl d events or controversial subject matter. For example, in October 201 0, Franklin Graham
was invited by Christiane Amanpour to participate on a panel on the ABC network to discuss the
place of islam in United States. See Attaclunent A, "Heated Debate Over Place of Islam in the
United States." Mr. Graham has met with heads of state and govenunent officials in many
countries worldwide and is recognized nationally and internationally. He is the son of Dr. Bil ly
Graham, an intemationally known evangelist.
fo'ranklin Graham is a licensed pilot for both the aircraft listed above. He utilizes air
transportation continuously and extensively in the United States and around the world for
speaking engagements, disaster relief activity, project oversight, international office meetings,
and to meet with partners in mission, dignitaries, and govemment officials. Mr. Graham has
flown to over 40 intemational cities in the last three years. Desti nations have included
Pyongyang, N01th Korea; Momovia, Liberia; Amman, Jordan; Chennai, Tndia; Nairobi, Kenya;
Khartoum, Sudan; Belfast, Ireland; Bogota, Columbia; Kauda, Sudan; Petropavlovsk, Russia;
Haiti, and many other international destinations. In addition, Mr. Graham,
regularly utilizes aircraft listed above for transpot1ation for ministry activities, business
meetings, and media events within the United States. The BARR (Block Aircraft Registration
Request) protection is necessary and critical to the security of Mr. Graham, ministry personnel
traveling with him, and ministry propet1y, due to the Valid Security Concern that exists.
Valid Security Concern
In compliance with the Federal Aviation Administration June 3, 2011 Notice (Docket No.
F AA-20 11-0183), Samaritan's Purse is certi fying that a Valid Security Concern clearly exists. A
Valid Security Concem is a verifiable tlueal to person, property, or company, including a threat
of death, kidnapping or serious bodily harm against an individual.
A basic Google search using the tenns "Franklin Graham" and "Islam" will reveal
articles and publications worldwide over the last decade concerning the sensitive and
controversial subject of the impact oflslam. An intemet search will also reveal the verifiable
threat from Iranian cleric Ayatoll ah Mohsen Mujtahed Shabestari. See Attaclunent B. Reports
state that a message given by Shabestari at a Friday mosque service in Tabriz called for the death
of Franklin Graham. Mr. Graham has regularl y spoken to the media over the last decade
concerning the topic of Islam and has received substantial media attention for his position and
statements on Islam. Sec Attachment C. Through the internet, television and other forn1s of
media, these positions and statements are disseminated worldwide. Articles in Arabic have
stated that Franklin Graham has insulted Islam's Prophet and that a lslamic religious decree
applies to those who insult the prophet. Due to the controversy and sensitivity of the subject of
Islam and the constant national and international media attention, Mr. Graham is subject to
verifiable threats. For this reason, it is critical that the BARR service remain in place for the
aircrafl list above.
For sccmity, safety and privacy reasons, the Board of Directors for Samaritan's Purse bas
required Franklin Graham to use the above aircraft for business and personal tlights. Personal
flights, pursuant to lRS regulation, are recorded in taxable income of Mr. Graham. The Board of
Directors' action is in recognition of the vaJid secUiity risks and verifiable threats.
Another recent example of a verifiable threat occutTed in March 2011. An agent from the
Federal Bureau of Investigation contacted our offices to share infonnation about a fami ly that
had moved from the United States to Yemen and back to the United States. While in Yemen, the
teenage son attended a conventional Islamic school and then the family returned to the United
States. \Vhcn the son retumed to the Uni ted States the FBl reported to our Samaritan's Purse
Security Department that in U.S. Customs it was discovered that the young man carried a uhit
list" and Frank.Jjn Graham's name was on the list. In addition, our ministry has received other
calls regarding persons angry about comments Mr. Graham made when discussing the topic of
Islam and its impact in the United States and countri es around the world.
Security risks and threats also exist simply due to the famil y name and worl dwide
recognition of the "Graham" name. Dr. Billy Graham is the most recognized name in Christian
evangelism in the last century. Frankli n Graham in also widely recognized and a public figure as
he oversees the domestic and intcmational work of Samaritan's Purse, a chari ty with combined
contri butions of$500 mjllion, and is the CEO for another large charity, the Billy Graham
Evangelistic Association. Due to this public figure status and constant exposure in the media,
our offi ces constantly are in communication with the generous donors that suppo11 the ministry
work. However, we also receive attention and communication from unstable persons with
cti minal backgrounds that appear angry or make threateni ng statements toward Mr. Graham or a
member of his family, incl uding the threat of death. Our Security Department often has to
follow up and obtain background checks on persons who have suspect or tlu-eatening behavior
and who have contacted Samaritan's Purse or the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
Further, Mr. Graham is potentially vulnerable to kidnapping, either for ransom or as a political
statement, in many of the destinations to which he travels. These security threats and risks come
with the terri tory with nationall y and internationally recognized public figures. Franklin Graham
has met with United States presidents, political leaders of countries around the world, and
attracted extensive media exposure worldwide. For speaking engagements and Christian
outreach events taking place in coliseums and stadiums, professional security teams, including
fonner Secret Service agents, are engaged for the protection of Franklin Graham.
In summary, verifiable and specific security threats exist. The security concerns are
valid, have substance and are not abstract, generalized, and non-specific. Threats have been
exposed in the media, by the FBI and through persons contacting ministry offices directly. In
addi tion to the controversial nature of the topic oflslam and the response of the more radical
elements of its adherents, Franklin Graham is a public figure exposed to unstable persons or
criminal elements from the public at large. For Mr. Graham's movements to be broadcast to the
public via the ASDI-NASSI data feeds would directly and measurably increase the risks to his
personal safety.
If there is a case for a Valid Secmity Concern to continue the BARR security protections,
this is it. The facts and circumstances establish a Valid Security Concem regarding the security
of the Samaritan's Purse aircraft listed above. Samaritan's Purse respectfully requests continued
protection under the BARR system and that the FAA approve cet1ification that a Certified
Security Concern exists for the above named aircraft owned by Samaritan's Purse.
I, Ron E. Wilcox, Chief Operating Officer of Samaritan's Purse, hereby cettify that a Valid
Securi ty Concern exists with respect to the aircraft named herein and respectfully request the
Federal Aviation Administration pem1it the use of the BARR system for such aircraft based on
the Valid Security Concern and approve the Certified Security Concern request submitted by
Samaritan's Purse.

Iranian Cleric Demands Death For Christian Leaders Who Dare To Criticize Islam
Oct. 16, 2002 - Iranian cleric Ayatollah Mohsen Mujtahed Shabestari called for the death of
Jerry Falwell, Franklin Graham, and Pat Robetison because they recently criticized lslam.
However, none of them has advocated violence against Muslims.
Whilst no official fatwa calling for the deaths of the three Cluistian leaders has been
issued by Iran's Islamic clergy, the comments that have been made are already being
compared with the 1989 fa twa that was issued against the British aut hor Salman Rushdie.

No ment I o n of Muslims
Friday, AprlJ 18, 2003 Postad: 1923 GMT ( 3?3 AM HKT)
WASHJN GTON (CNN)
Christi a
Gr aham
n minis te r Franklin
delivered a Good
essage at the Fr i day m
Pent ag on o ve r obj ections f rom
some Musli m employees who
comp l ained ab out his earli er
d esc ription of Isl am as " a very
evil and w i cked relig i o n."
Graham, son of evangelist Billy
Graham, thanked God for "the
principles on which this nation was built
and what It stands for" and "for our
president and all those who are in
authorily over us: He made no mention
of MusUms.
Christians remember tho story of the
crucifixion of Jesus Christ on Good
Friday. prior to the resurrection on
Easter Sunday. Graham noted that the
Icon of his faith was "falsely accused by
the rellgious eslabllshmcnt" who 1ust
made up things" to make a case for his
death.
The Pentagon's chaplain office invited
Graham to conduct the services and
refused to rescind the invitation after
hearing the concerns of three Muslim
employees. a Pentagon source told
CNN.
"It's important to remember that the
Pentagon's chaplain's office invites
speakers and religious leaders from ali
sorts of different places representing ali
sorts of different faiths and
organizations," tho source said. "It's a
policy of openness and inclusiveness."
After the September 11, 2001 terror
attacks, Graham was quoted on NBC
Nightly News as haVing denounced
Islam as a very evil and wicked
refiglon" although a month before
those comments he told CNN that
Americans should not "paint (Muslims)
in a broad brush" because a small
group of people" were responsible for
the terror a !lacks.

of aU people to adopt their own befiefs, I would respectfully disagree with any
religion that teaches people to put their fallh In other gods."
He said he Is not against Islam, pointing out that his relief group has supplied
goods to Islamic countries. "But as a minister, not a poliUclan, I believe it Is my
responsibility to speak out against the terrible deeds that are committed as a result
of Islamic teaching," he said.
Responding to Muslim complaints. Graham said on his Web site. "I decry the evil
that has been done in the name of Islam, or any other faith, Including Christianity."
Graham, speaking with CNN's Judy Woodruff on September 14, 2001 - three days
after the terror attacks - said Americans should not tum against Muslims slmply
because they are Muslim.
'We shouldn't do that; he said. "I have many Arab friends, many Muslim friends.
they're wonderful people who. of course, are just as brokenhearted and disgusted
over the incidents of U1is past week as we arc. And we should not just turn our
hatred toward people of another race or of another religion."
Focus on those responsi ble
'We need to focvs on those who are actually responsible for this." he added. "And it
wasn't a race of people who did this. it was a small group of people who are bent
on the destruction of this country, those Islamic fundamentalist that need to oo
stopped. So I plead with people not to paint In a broad brush, so to speak, the
people of the Middle East. They're wondorful people."
But a month later. Graham had apparently changed his views.
'We're not atlacldng Islam but islam has attacked us." NBC News quoted Graham
saying at the dedlcatlon of a North Carolina chapel In October. "The God of Islam Is
not tho same God. He's not the son of God of tho Christian or Judeo-Christlan faith.
It's a different God, and I believe Ills a very evil end wicked religion.
When NBC asked him to clarify his statements, he said, "it wasn't Methodists flying
into those buildings. It wasn't Lutherans. II was an attack on this counlly by people
of the Islamic faith."
Muslims also have accvsed Graham and other Christian groups of hoping to
convert Muslims in Iraq under the gutse of doing humanitarian work there.
Graham told the Los Angeles Tlmes last week that Samaritan's Purse will work In
Iraq, offering "physical assistance to those who need it, with no strings attached."
He said the group will do no proselytizing.

Rescind Invite to Pentagon Prayer Service
0
Evangelist Franklin Graham said Thursday thnt he regrets the Army's decision to rescind its Invitation to
him for the Pentagon's N3tional Day of Prayer service on May 6, but expressed "strong support for the
U.S. military.
An Army spokesn>an confirmed to Fox News that tho lnvltalion to Gmham to be honorary at the
event was rescinded amid complaints from Muslim members of the military about his description of Islam
as 3n evil religion.
The Army spokesman said the event will go fOIWard but without the National
Day of Prayer Task Force participating.
"I regret that the Army felt it was necessary to rescind their lnvilaUon to the
National Uay of Prayer Task Force to participate in the Pen:agon's special
prayer setvlce: Graham sold In a written statemenL
"I want to expresses my strong support for the United States mili tary and all our
troops," he added. r will continue to pray that God will give t hem guidance,
wisdom and protection as they se,ve this great country."
Earlier Thursday, Graham stuck by his remarks about Islam, Including that
Muslims are enslaved" by their rellgion.
Franklin. the son of famed evangelist Silly Graham. told Fox News that ho loves Muslim people and wants
them to know that God loves them, even If they be saved only through Jesus Christ.
t want them to knew that they don't have to die in a car bomb, don't have to die in some kind of holy war
to be accepted by God. But ll's through faith In Jesus Christ and Christaione," Graham sai d.
Graham said said he loves the Muslim people, just not their religion which he called 'horrid" lor its
resllictions on women.
t love the people ollslam but their religion. t do not agree with their religion at all. And if you look at what
the religion does just to women, women alone. it is JUSt horrid. And so yes. 1 speaK out for women. I speak
out tor people that five under Islam. that are enslaved by Islam and i want them to know that they can be
free." he said.
After the 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Graham said Islam is a very evil and wicked
religion." In a later op-ed piece i n The Wall Street Joumal, Graham wrote that he did not believe Musnms
were evil because or their faith, but as a minister ... I believe It Is my responsibil:ty to speak out against
the terrible deeds that are committed as a result of Islamic teaching."

Army spokesman Gary Tallman told Fox Nows on Wednesday that Graham's ' presence at tho ovent may
be taken by some as lnappropnate for a government agency.'
'As tho executive agent of the Pentagon chaplain's office, Almy leadership dolermined it needed further
review: he said
The Milot&JY Religious Freeocm Foundation raised the objecl'on to the appearance. citing Graham's past
remarks about islam, In a letter sent Monday to Delense Secretary Roben Gates.
Mikey Weinstein, president of the Joundallon, said !he invitation oflondod Muslim employees altho
Pentagon because Graham never rettactod or apologized for his description of Islam as evil. Wofnstofn
said the Invitation would endanger American !toops by stirring up Muslim ex!temists.
Army Cot rom Collins said the ir.villlbon wasn't from the Pentagon but from the Colorado-based National
Day of Prayer Task Force, whl:h works wit/lthe Pentagon chaplain's otfoce on the prayer event.
Tho task organizes Christian events for the Nation31 Day of Prayer. Collins said neither Army
Secretary John McHugh nor Chief of Staff Gen. George W. Casey Jr. was aware of tho fnvttolion.
After Graham's appearance. tho Councll of American-Islamic Relations issued a call for supporters to
petition tho Pentagon to drop Graham.
To have an Individual who calls lslarn ovll and claims Musr.ms enslaved by their faith speak at tho
Pentagon sends tho wrong messogo ot a time when hundreds of lhoosands of OIK mhtary
personnel are c..rrentiy staboned in Muslim counlr'es; said CAIR Nallonel Executive Dlcector Nhad Awad
'Franklin Graham's appearance has tho potcntlal to harm unn cohoslon and morale II' rough the promotion

A Muslim-rights group designated by the Justice Department as a teuorisl celebrated its
role in the cancellation of evangelist Franklin Graham's appearance at a National Day of Pr..tyer event at
the Pentagon.
Graham, the son of evangelist Billy Graham, said his invitation to be honorary chaimtan at the May 6
Pc111agon service was revoked ofier Muslim members of the military complained about his description of
Islam after the 2001 terrorist attacks as "a very evil and wicked religion."
Uraham explained his 2001 renwks in a Wall Street Joumal op-ed piece, saying he didn't believe Muslims
were evil because of their fai th but, as a minister, he thought it his "responsibility to speak out against
the terrible deeds that are commi tted as a result of Islamic teaching."

Ami)' Col. Tom Collins said the uwitation to Graham was from the Colorado-based National Da)l of
'--- ---- ---- - --' Pmycr Task not 1he Pentagon. The Pentagon chaplain's office, he said, coordinates the event with
the private group. lltc Amty said the event will go forward wi thout the participation of the National Day of Prayer Task Force.
Council on American-Islamic Relations National Executi\e Director N1had A wad said his organization an unindicted co-conspirator in the
largest terror-fi nance case in U.S. history hailed the decision "as a victory for common sense and good judgment."
"flmmoting one's own religious beliefs is something to be defended and encouraged, but other fai ths should not be attacked or misrepreseoted in
the process," A wad said.
CAIR had called on its supporters to petition the Pentagon to rescind the invitation to Graham.
CAIR -IICI\ l'"ntimu:d by Ill\' Ju.,ftr, Dqa!lmcnt "' '' kt rMbt ceo Cllll't!.lf:t!Q! is trying to keep its lawsuit alive against two investigators

Anny spokesman Gal)' Tallman told News Graham's "presence at the evcnl may be taken by some as inappropriate for a govenuuent
agency."
But critics ofCAlR accused the Am1y of succumbing to political correctness and ignoring the Muslim organi7ation's radical affiliations.
"No matter what the circumstances, the Am1y has no business bowing to the will of a group that has been named an unindicted co-conspirator 111

can be saved through Jesus Christ.

"I IO\'e the people of Islam but their religion, I do not agree with their religion at all," he told Fox News. "And if you look at what the religion
does just to women, women alone, it is just horrid. And so yes, I speak out for women. I speJk out tbr people that live under lslmu, that are
enslaved by Islam and I want them to know that they can be ITec."
Commenting on Graham's remarks to Fox News, Spencer accused the Anny of "abetting the whitewashing and covcrup of the institutionalized
mistreatment of women in Islamic law."
"TI1is could have been, as Obama might say, a '!(:aching moment,' and an opporrunity to stand up for the human rights of those women and other
groups oppressed by Shariah. Instead, it is just an occasion lor more dhimmitudc," he said, referring to the subordination of non-Muslims under
Islamic Jaw.
