I think the link talks about those who support terrorism, not who is a terrorist. Big diff.
Not according to dictionary.com which defines a terrorist as "a person, usually a member of a group, who uses or advocates terrorism."
According to the World Public Opinion scientific poll, 24% of Palestinians approve of attacks on civilians in the U.S.; 11% of Jordanians approve of attacks on civilians in the U.S.; 9% of Pakistans approve of attacks on civilians in the U.S. and 8% of Egyptians approve of attacks on civilians in the U.S...
These numbers are staggering. And the fact that they represent people who approve of vs. use terrorism is not a factor for reassurance.
To be fair, Beck has acknowledged that the majority ( 90%) of Muslims are peaceful, law abiding people. But, we cannot ignore or wish away the fact that a significant number of Muslims approve of attacks on civilians in the U.S.

Kinda like the armchair Generals here who support war(s) as the first solution, just as long as they aren't required to get off their ass nand do something.
Really, man? What percentage of Americans think drone strikes are okay even if they hit civilians? What percentage of Israelis are okay with their missiles killing Palestinian or Lebanese civilians?
Ever wonder where the terrorists get their money? From so-called Muslim charities that rake in the bucks under the pretext of helping people. That's why the government has shut down so many of these organizations. Millions of Muslims do their terrorism by their giving. Beck is right.

I suggest you lay off the Muslim Kool-Aid. If there are two countries that make every effort to minimize civilian casualties in war they are the U.S. and Israel. Does that mean accidents don't happen? No. Does that mean atrocities don't happen? No. But both countries deal with atrocities swiftly. Case in point Israel convicted some soldiers of targeting civilians during the recent incursion into Gaza. When's the last time you heard of Muslims doing the same? It doesn't happen. In fact Muslims use civilians as human shields. Your equating American and Israeli policy with that of the terrorists is disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourself. But, of course, people with your point of view are incapable of shame.
As much as it pains me to say it, I'm on Beck's side on this one. I mean I think if you include those who have terrorist sympathies it's probably close 150 million people. Do I think they're all out to "get me?" No, terrorist attacks happen all over the world in multiple nations. Now to think that 150,000,000 people wanted me personally dead that would be crazy. But to think that there are 150,000,000 people who support terrorist ideology I think is only sensible.
Using the Glenn Beck method of reasoning, or lack there of, lets take another example of using statistics to distort and market an idea for personal consumption.
In the United States, 86%+- of our population is Christian. So, of the millions of crimes, murders, theft, rape, incest, and violent acts which take place every single day, we can then by using the Beck method of calculation, imply that Christians are 85% of all incestuous rapist, murders, thieves, child molester, etc... Since we have the highest or second highest prison population on the planet, we can there for conclude that Christians are the most violent, child molesting, raping, sick distorted religious people on the planet. After all, think of all those who rediscover Jesus in prison, it seems prison and Jesus go hand in hand.
Boy, that don't sound too good does it. It is statistically accurate and yet does it really encapsulate the truth?
I found the following the most important part of this article.
a person who terrorizes or frightens others.
3.
Beck tries to frighten people five days a week, commie this socialist that. POTUS hates white people, spooky dude puppets, blah blah blah. By that definition Beck himself is a terrorist.
I just can't get over all the terror supporters on this site providing cover and baseless excuses for them. If you support murder, you are a murderer.
