Glenn Beck: Fear Of Death Threats Cause Last Minute Changes To Israel Rally

audio
» 164 comments

Glenn Beck spent much of his show today recapping and reflecting on his weekend in Israel and his Restoring the Courage rally. “I have to tell you some of the stories I wasn’t able to tell you before…the things you didn’t know, that we couldn’t say,” he begins, always the story teller, and then reveals from his stop in South Africa that he and his team were left scrambling when several of the rally’s key participants dropped out after receiving threats on their lives. “What you may not know is how many people canceled at the last minute, and not because they were, you know, ‘I’m not going to stand with him,’ none of that,” he says. “The reason why they canceled is because they were under death threat.”

Amongst such participants were a choir that had been practicing for months and “believed in the program we were doing” but had been told they would lose their jobs, and an orchestrator of the music who was torn up that he could not attend, but because of his family, could not take a risk. Also hesitant to attend to do potential risk? Every Muslim they asked. Beck seemed particularly regretful of this, having specifically planned the rally in Jerusalem’s Old City, in close proximity to holy sites for Christians, Jews and Muslims alike.

“We could not get an Arab to perform, a Muslim to stand on stage,” he said. “The only Arab that stood with us was a guy that is a minister, a pastor, a Christian, who has his church in Bethlehem. This guys life is threatened every day, especially on Sundays.” So there was one Arab, but he was Christian, leaving the Muslim quota still, unfulfilled.

Beck’s hope, he goes on to explain, was that he might have a representative from each of the three faiths (Christianity, Judaism, Islam) come out and sing a prayer “to show the root of all of these faiths.” A cantor sang a Jewish prayer and then someone sang a Gregorian chant (“not a christian that did that, not a catholic, but someone who did the Gregorian chant,” he says). No one volunteered to get on stage and sing the call to prayer.

“There was no arab that would sing it,” Beck says, “because they felt that, if I sing it, I am a dead man.” And, although, as he admits, he doesn’t understand much about the call to prayer nor does he speak Arabic, he says that the guy they did get to sing it “wasn’t even allowed to sing actual words … he couldn’t actually say the words because it would have inflamed the Muslims, 40,000 of them were just above us as he did this performance.” “Melodic moans” would have to do. (Hear Beck’s impression of the chant at 8:25 in the clip below)

Now, Beck’s wont to have all faiths represented is one thing, but his frustration that no Muslim would join him on stage, for fear of persecution or otherwise, seems ironic. Given his frequent conflation of Islamic countries and a brewing caliphate…well, what did he expect?

Beck has a tendency — one that is on display in the below clip — to also sometimes conflate Arabs and Muslims casually (although he does, clearly, know the difference). But he has also in the past conflated Muslims and the antichrist. And so, while his intention seems to be good in this case, he has in the past made himself a rather unappealing alliance for the Muslim and Arab world. His detractors believe that he’s personally helped fan the flames of Islamaphobia for so many years, and so by that thinking, he himself has would have made it scary for a Muslim to stand in front of the rally’s sold-out crowd. He may have actually made “courage” too risky an action for any Arabic individual to stand with him.

     Gee, I wonder why Muslims and Arabs wouldn’t want to associate with Beck. Could it have anything to do with this kind of racist crap?
    “On the
    August 15 edition of his radio program, Beck repeated his comparison of
    Ahmadinejad and the DNC, and continued his mocking of Muslim names. [...] ” Later in
    the program, while discussing security at American airports, Beck referred to
    Muslims working at airports as
    “Mohammed-Mohammed-Mustafa-Mohammed.”"

    TODAY! – Beck asserted that at his Israel rally there were “5,000 seats set up, and at
    last count, we had about 8,000 people that showed up, standing room only.” Beck

    July 22, 2009…Glenn Beck said that the director of White House Office of
    Science and Technology Policy, “has proposed forcing abortions and
    putting sterilants in the drinking water to control population.”

    June 10, 2009…”Why do we have automatic citizenship upon birth? We’re the only country in the world that has it.”

    “The government is trying to now close the Lincoln Memorial for any kind of large gatherings.”

    “In the health care bill, we’re now offering insurance for dogs.”

    The Muslim Brotherhood has “openly stated they want to declare war on Israel.”

    Labor union president Andy Stern is “the most frequent visitor” at the White House.

    Less than 10 percent of Obama’s Cabinet appointees “have any experience in the private sector.”

    Glenn Beck is a good man .

    “No Christian has ever risked more of his reputation and resources, or put his life on the line to the degree that Glenn Beck has for Israel. How dumb can the liberal-Left media be? Beck is seen and heard on more than 2,000 TV and radio stations and via 16 satellites.The main event of “Restoring Courage” took place on Wednesday night. It was a worldwide media event viewed by more than 1,000 viewing parties in more than 60 countries. These include the UK, Belgium, Brazil, China, France, Hungary, Russia, South Africa, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam. Expressions of support have come in from across the US political spectrum, including Lieberman, publisher Mort Zuckerman and Texas Governor Rick Perry.Thanks to Beck, you can be sure that this worldwide audience got a rare glimpse at the beauty of Israel. Aside from restoring courage, events like this are what both religious and secular Israelis pray for: golden opportunities to promote tourism, to encourage the world to buy Israeli products, and see the kind and loving nation that actually lives here, unlike the image that anti-Semites like to promote.”

    Again, the anti-Arab bit is right there on video.  It was on his show. Are you denying the segment exists? 
    I guess if Glenn asked you, “Who are you going to believe – me or your own ears?’ You would answer “You, Glenn, sir – gosh darn it!”
    If the tape wasn’t his, I think he would sue for libel. 

    But you know he said it. And there’s no excuse for it. So that’s why you try to change the subject by attacking the group that simply pressed the ‘record’ button.

    You are a lost cause and a hopeless member of the Glenn cult. It’s impossible to discuss something with someone who refuses to even minimally deal in reality.

    Clearly, your voltage is down to ZERO.

    Did I say I support or ever supported Bush?
    Did I call you stupid?

    Of course, the REAL ugly black guy, the so-called ‘REVEREND” Sharpton, you know the one with the most moronic and hateful views and the most irritating voice, has a decidedly left-wing show, thanks to affirmative action.

    Pablo, I’m thinking you are signed up for GB-TV?

    Beck couldn’t even inspire COURAGE in his alleged contributors.
    If you read Haaretz.com’s ” Glenn Beck, Don’t Come Back.” you will see that many Israeli’s resent his Christian message.  They don’t want soul-saving Christians evangelizing on their sacred ground.

    Beck is excusing his failure in Israel, like always, with fabrications.

    Jesus was a Jew.

    He was also, and you might notice this from his name, a Christian

    Beck.  Maybe the Africans will eat him!

    Pablo is correct. Jesus was a Jew in that he obeyed all the Jewish laws, including the ones about diet and the day of the Sabbath. It was the apostle Paul who said that things like the dietary laws were no longer required, and Paul never met Jesus while Jesus was alive. Any difference between a Christian and a Jew, other than recognition of Jesus as Messiah, came after Jesus died.

    To timb116, a Christian worships Jesus. Jesus did not worship himself. Ergo, Jesus was not a Christian.

    I think that is because Beck insists that Muslims don’t want to coexist, and now Beck wants to become ecumenical? Not likely.

    Are you willing to get on a stage with Obama and say you are willing to work with him?

    Beck is the only one claiming death threats. Many articles written during the Beck tour told of Jews changing their minds about participation when they recognized that this was to be a Christian thing. This looked like another Crusade to them, and Jews were no better off than Muslims when Christians did control Jerusalem and other holy cities in the Levant.

    According to Beck, THEY hate. THEY kill. THEY threaten. THEY  may be Muslims, communists, Marxists, socialists, anybody but those who watch Glenn Back.

    The very article we are talking about is based on Glenn Beck’s claims that there were death threats. No other article, and I have seen plenty of them in researching the Rally, has mentioned death threats.

    Beck constantly talks about the violence that will consume the world, and you he is the only true man of peace?

    So, you tell me what Beck has said that is good about Muslims. Give examples and links if possible. How about you? What do you like about Muslims?

    I enjoy watching his few remaining supporters try to dance to his tune changes. It is like watching a game of Twister.

    Yes. He does talk and talk and talk. That is what you are paying him for. I’m sure you get value for your money, just like I get value from watching my favorite shows. Bones, House, NCIS, and other great fiction.

    You should watch Lie To Me. Great show, and right up your alley.

    The death threats are Glenn Beck’s imagination. Find another article that proves them.

    The violence was frightening that night. Who mentioned a lynching? Beck did. Who is paranoid? Beck is.

    He said he didn’t use a Bible in that second swearing in.

    You are correct. Beck’s lie was “I checked. There has never been a president who did not use a bible.” The lie is probably that Beck checked. I checked, and find that there are several cases where use of a bible is not known, at least two cases where is is said a president used a book of US laws (one was John Q. Adams), and several cases of two ceremonies withing a day of each  other, one with a bible and one without a bible.
    Using a bible is tradition. It is not a requirement, and never has been.

    Did you see it?

    So, Muslims wouldn’t come on with Beck, because of his previous xenophobia and anti-Islamic statements, and Beck’s fanboy, pablo, says “hold on, there wasn’t none of that there Islamophobia there.  I watched the whole thin in my magic Mormon underwear.”

    Yet another 180 appears here. Suddenly, Beck has loved and defended Muslims for his entire career.
    The game of Twister continues.

    You have to give him credit. He knows how to promote his failures with fear and the rubes pay it!

    Beck is such a dishonest ego maniac I never believe that crap he says. I was just poking fun of the bad Grammar in the title.

  • Anonymous

    Yup. I know. I was being serious for the seriously ignorant who believe in Beck’s phoney prognostications, palaver, and puffery.

  • Valkyrie101

    So you are suggesting that Glenn is better than Jesus?

  • Danem Carr

    heheheh Beck doesn’t even know that we Grigorians are the followers Samyaza; the fallen angel that led a rebellion against god in the name of love (Lucifer) and we want god killed and Israel burned to the ground. thanks for letting us at your event.
