So, I see you know nothing about what is happening in Egypt.

OK, now that Beck has presented his Theory, what are his solutions, does he have any, does anyone here have any solutions?

OK, I'll rephrase: the overwhelming majority of Muslim fundamentalists who are not suicidal nihilists are not a serious menace to us in the West.

He is doing nothing but ramping up the old muslimo-phobia rhetoric again. It worked so well ten years ago, that it must work well again. Beck can make a lot of money with these stories.

All of them put together don't amount to as many deaths as one year in our occupation of Iraq.

Ah, no wrong again the overwhelming majority of fundamentalists are a threat to the west. I think you are trying to say the overwhelming number of Muslims are not a threat to the west. So what? There are enough jihadists to threaten the west.

Oh Yes, he loves the Almighty Dollar, entertainers make more than most and certainly more than those that support them. Right now it is contest to see who can keep the attention on themselves and draw in the Big Bucks and situations like Egypt are great for business.

So? There were more people killed in World War II than Vietnam, does that make Vietnam not a war?

Also, it is not for lack of trying. They are trying to get their hands on a nuclear weapon, when they do will you change your tune?

The Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and 'sabotaging' its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions."


I think you are missing the mark here. Beck is trying to say that these riots are happening because MB is trying to create a caliphate from west Africa ti Indonesia, like it was some kind of global conspiracy. Well, the MB didn't start these riots. They didn't even know how to react when they started, so where is Beck getting these ideas? The answer is simple: HE MAKES THEM UP. He draws boxes on his black board, one box for MB ang another for the rioters, and he connects them to establish a link between the rioters and the MB, but there is no link. There is no conspiracy. He made it up to sell his show.

I am not sure why you find it controversial that the MB has this as their goal? Why do you find this so unbelievable, especially in light of the fact that they have documented this as their goal.
