Why is Fox pushing a falsehood to fuel outrage over NYC Muslim community center?

      Yes, it will use its Satanic powers to steal perfectly good bricks and Molotov cocktails from good Christians.

          What's Beck going to do when one of the members of this mosque is assaulted? I'm guessing the answer is condemning all forms of violence, then quickly getting Fox's Legal Department on the horn.

          Beck is gutless slime.

          He's happy to encourage others to set a house on fire, then run and hide behind the local fire marshall when it happens.

            And then say that the fire marshall is overpaid and receives too many benefits.

            Well it is bound to happen considering this...

            At one point, a portion of the crowd menacingly surrounded two Egyptian men who were speaking Arabic and were thought to be Muslims.

            "Go home," several shouted from the crowd.

            "Get out," others shouted.

            In fact, the two men – Joseph Nassralla and Karam El Masry — were not Muslims at all. They turned out to be Egyptian Coptic Christians who work for a California-based Christian satellite TV station called "The Way." Both said they had come to protest the mosque.

            "I'm a Christian," Nassralla shouted to the crowd, his eyes bulging and beads of sweat rolling down his face.

            But it was no use. The protesters had become so angry at what they thought were Muslims that New York City police officers had to rush in and pull Nassralla and El Masry to safety.

            "I flew nine hours in an airplane to come here," a frustrated Nassralla said afterward.

              Hell, I'm surprised those men weren't lynched from the nearest street light.

      I can say this with all sincerity; I consider myself in much more danger from the nutbags who believe Glenn Beck than from anybody associated with this Muslim Community center.

        And that is the danger for Beck. He fears that his far right nutbag followers will not be able to contain their seething hatred, and their acts of violence will be put on display for the world to see. Good!

      OK BECK. What is the solution?

      I hear these conservative pundits, that have virtually zero credibility with Muslim-Americans, say that we can't have his "ground zero mosque" built.

      OK, how do you prevent it? Tell me how. I want to hear how we stop the Mosque being built. Please give me the honest, fair solution that you have. What is the conservative way to do this? The way that respects freedom of religion and the free market. tell me how we do it. Otherwise, you're just complaining and trying to manufacture a problem and creating more racism and bigotry.

        His justification is because his cult was denied a permit to build a "temple" wherever they wanted ??

      How can something that doesn't even exist yet be an "actual" danger? A potential danger at best and even that's a stretch. From what I've heard this group is actually trying to keep young muslims from falling in with extremists much the same way that other community centers try to keep at risk youth falling in with gangs.

      A viewership/listenership that has to be told at least once every broadcast not to haul off and start shooting people? Not dangerous.

      A Muslim version of a YMCA? Dangerous.
