I hope they try to stop him. That will be a court case.
Religious freedom does not mean anyone can do anything and call it religious expression. Do you really think praying and building a mosque are the same thing?
No of course not. Praying is guaranteed right in the First Amendment, but building the mosque is decision left up to the city council who obviously have an ideological bend to the left. The voters of NYC didn't vote for the mosque, the city council did.
Had I been a member of the city council, I would have said "no" to the mosque because there's 20 other mosques in Manhattan, and about 20 or 30 in each of the other four boroughs of New York City. Imam Rauf runs a mosque about 12 city blocks from the site of this proposed mosque.
I'm free to pray wherever and whenever I want. Praying is religious expression.
Glenn’s statement at the end of the video says it all.
Our religion and faith (Christianity) is under attack.
God bless Glenn.
God bless the United States of America.
Thank you for clarifying that. I see problems that I don’t know how we get around (because you’re right, we have religious freedom, thankfully). I don’t know if there is an answer somewhere, but I do see that this mosque is a potential huge problem.
Yes, but you are not free to do animal sacrifice on the steps of a temple, for instance (at least I don’t think so). There are limits to religious expression.
I agree!
Pray, Sing, Petition.
I don't think there would be grounds for arrest, but IANAL.
This seems more like a civil thing and if the Kennedy Center prevented Glenn from praying then he could sue and the negative PR would KILL the Kennedy Center.
My prediction is that Glenn gets to do exactly as he pleases.
“are they going to arrest 1.5 million people?
Why in the world do I hope that they try?!!
God Bless Glenn Beck!
Next thing they’ll tell us, you cannot bow your head...

As much as I respect Laura Bush, she had a room set aside for some islamic employee, during ramadam. Every morning though, during Ws term, the day began with prayer, I’ve heard.
I meant a temple across the street if that mosque is ever built

Beck Forbidden To Pray At Kennedy Center Event
“
Regardless of outcome...authorities know that Beck and his fans won’t
cut off the heads of anybody that try to cramp their style.
I do have to tip my hat to the radical Islamics for knowing how to
use sheer, raw savage force to get their way.
Doesn’t surprise me. She is much more liberal than I thought.
I once had so much admiration for both ot the Bush’s. So sad to learn what I have learned about them.
