On point op-ed as to why I question Glenn Beck's knowledge, intent and motives, i.e. Mr. Beck comes across as a speaker for Amrican values and culture, but still avoids the Islamic menace that is evident. Could this be due to the Saudi influence on Fox's parent company, i.e. Mr Beck talks a good talk, but is not willing tp put his job, reputation or image on the line when it counts?

If Beck does not oppose the Islamic push in our country than he is for it and will change my opinion greatly concerning beck. Islam is and will remain a threat until our leadership speaks out against it. It is completely incompatable with our constitution.

Is the authors writing style done on purpose?

I read somewhere online once, I can't possibly remember where, that Mormon missionaries frequently are very pleased when, in foreign countries, the Muslims invariably compliment them, declaring, "You are NOTHING like the other Americans!!"

Glenn Beck is a mormon, and he takes his marching orders from his ward bishop.

Mormonism is a CULT, and Glenn is obviously obsessed on the Mormon PROPHECIES regarding the Constitution of the United States of America.

OBSESSED.

I predict that his audience will continue to shrink.

I wonder if the appox. 85% of Americans, who claim to be Christians, get back to a God centered existence the natural course would be to subvert the views of the approx. 1% Muslims?

Could it be more important to get the 85% “back to basics” then to bash the 1%?

Beck is a Mormon, and this is the basis of his soft-pedaling on the muslim issue. I think he somehow pictures a moral equivalence in his perception of the persecution of the two rather disparate belief-systems. It is to his discredit.

If Beck has started a fight with Muslems, Obama, Pelosi and the media the insuring argument would have obscured the message. His message was peace not war. His message was Faith, Hope and Charity. Why go off message to cause a huge distraction?

One cannot address multiple concerns and still remain strong. It is for our elected leaders to handle specifics, it is for the citizens to “get right” with history, personal responsibility, and religion or not, sect or branch of choice. I really like what Beck has been doing, and will not criticize him for being effective, or because he won’t spread himself thin.

Seriously, people should pay attention to the religious LINKS between the LDS and Islam.

I couldn’t get past the first quote. It is very distracting to attempt to read posts without capitalization.

GLENN BECK NEVER SAID THIS! Beck only spoke about how Europe is divided between far left and far right. He did NOT mention Wilders in the context of European Fascism. Why does this continue to be an issue?

Placemark for later reading.

I just wish there were capitals. So much easier to read that way.

FANTASTIC POST
As a frequent Dutch traveler I whole-heartedly and whole-mindedly support Geert Wilders OOK !

This post sure got off track. It’s not about Mormonism.
It’s about our Judeo-Christian values and that is what Wilders is about. The man has Islamic beheading threats on him - that should tell you all you need to know about what he is fighting for. You’d think Beck of all people would support him.

I have emailed Glenn Beck and told him I will never become an INSIDER subscriber as long as he considers Geert Wilders a European fascist. That is ludicrous beyond words.
I’m sure my boycott will bring him around - sarc -

My eyes are bleeding.

Do you see those wide keys to the left and right of your keyboard labeled “shift”? Please use them to capitalize words at the beginning of sentences. Thanks.

so i say to glenn beck. in the matter of your labeling geert wilders a contemporary european fascist,

I got this far and want to throw up. I have never read anything by Beck or heard him, just read about him here and there on FR. What kind of an idiot is Beck?

I tried several times to read the whole thing.

My poor eyes just keep giving out, the lack of capitals is hellish. If you re-post with caps many more people would read it.

Geert Wilders reminds me of my Dutch ancestors..

They stood up against tyrany too..

Theres not enough people standing up against the Moslems in Europe...

Glenn Beck would do well to warn us against them also..

instead of holding their hands on a stage of compromise and foot kissing..

Beck needs to stop fighting the “birthers” and start fighting “one Earthers”

The whole purpose of this letter was Beck’s supposed wrong stance on Geert Wilders yet no one seems to be discussing it.
I don’t pay much attention to Beck and not too familiar with Wilders. So, what is the truth?
