Media / Religion Glenn Beckwatch: Terrorist Math

Posted by Paul Constant on Mon, Dec 6, 2010 at 4:49 PM

Glenn Beck has ripped the lid off another conspiracy, says Huffington Post:

Glenn Beck said he thinks ten percent of all Muslims are terrorists.

As ThinkProgress pointed out, Beck's estimate would mean that roughly 157 million Muslims in the world are terrorists.

In other Beckwatch news, Bill Maher makes the case for Glenn Beck as L. Ron Hubbard:

maybe 10% agree with al qaeda's goal of a wahhabi muslim caliphate - free of any western infidels and their cultural influence, and think that "terror" is a justified response to the "state terror" of israel and the US.

Based on the rate of persons killed per terrorist on 9/11, I calculate that these 157 million Muslim terrorists have already killed over 24 billion people, and in fact the human race is already extinct.

If Beck were right, those terrorists could all just show up here and we'd probably be screwed.

Beck should be treated as an enemy combatant for disseminating information that could lead to innocent people being killed.
What, I'm just following Gingrich's birdbrain logic here...

I wonder when Beck will kill himself? When he does, I hope it's on his TV show..would be a waste of video footage if he did it on his radio show.

If Beck is killed he'll almost certainly be martyred which will only serve to exacerbate things. The only other two likely fates are that he'll continue to do what he's doing and won't reach prophetic status until after his death, or hopefully someone close to him will get sick of his lunacy and expose him for the hack he is with some revealing film or audio clip.

"Glennbeckandhisparanoia" is "stupidmotherfuckingjerkoff" spelled backwards.

Beck's not going to be murdered. Doesn't he have some sort of terminal eye disease or something?

Doesn't Glenn Beck suggest overthrowing the government at least once a week? Why is he trying to get a crackdown on a part of the population he is practically leading?
