GLENN BECK AND DINESH D'SOUZA AGREE WITH BIN LADEN. It is our horrible promiscuity that upsets right-thinking Muslims everywhere, and both Beck and D'Souza kinda sorta see their point. Here is Beck:
BECK: You know, there`s a new poll out that Muslims, the higher educated Muslims in the Middle East are more likely to be extremists? More and more Muslims now hate us all across the world, and it really has not a lot to do with anything other than our morals.The things that they were saying about us were true. Our morals are just out the window. We`re a society on the verge of moral collapse. And our promiscuity is off the charts.Now I don`t think that we should fly airplanes into buildings or behead people because of it, but that's the prevailing feeling of Muslims in the Middle East. And you know what? They`re right.If "they" are "right", what would Beck like to see done? The establishment of some form of Taliban rules against vice in this country? Because according to his arguments that would protect us from Islamic terrorists. Hmm.Beck then cites approvingly the extremely biased poll which supposedly demonstrates that the majority of Americans support staying in Iraq "to get the job finished", the one I discussed in an earlier post. Given this, I would dearly love to know more about the supposed poll in Muslim opinions Beck mentions in the above quote. For example, does it ask anything about the morals of Americans or is the reference just part of Beck's own opinions?All this is interesting, given the attention liberal and progressive bloggers are receiving in the mainstream media as angry and possibly biased sources of propaganda. For some reason the same mainstream media gives the angry and biased propaganda of certain right-wing voices an almost complete pass from proper criticism. Well, that and a seat at the table, too. Don't forget that Beck has a very large audience.-- J. Goodrich
