Glenn Beck has always been known as someone to make some fairly bold and strange predictions, but the protests in Egypt may have given birth to a Beck prophecy on a whole other level. Beck has said that the Egyptian uprising is not merely about an oppressed and impoverished people fighting for their rights, but instead, Beck sees the uprising as an effort by radical Muslims and socialists to establish a one world government called a caliphate. Under Beck’s theory, the caliphate will eventually lead the “end of the Western world as we know it.” Beck has warned his viewers that the revolution is not merely about Egypt, but about their own towns, homes, and way of life...

Seems like there are two categories of media: 1) those who just don't get Beck's facts, so portray him as an "out there" conspiracy theorist, and 2) those who know Beck's facts are real and don't want them researched, so portray him as an "out there" conspiracy theorist.

Well the Egyptian MILITARY has just DISSOLVED Parliment.

Early predictions is it is perfect for the Muslim Brotherhood. Glenn hasn’t jumped anything. Just telling the TRUTH.

There’s no reason to excerpt the examiner.
It’s just a blog. And full of pop-ups and trackers.

Beck’s out there because they don’t think muslims want a region wide, not worldwide, sharia law? Just goes to show they don’t understand Muslims at all.

He is 100% correct about that

He is out of his depth. He extrapolates an extrapolation then inserts the result into an equation that results in an asymptotic trend

He’s still got a lot of growing up to do... it’s hard to take him seriously when he’s alway snickering (mostly improvised) like a teeny-bopped non conformist, whispering jokes behind the teacher’s back... he may be right, but who can take him seriously? Really...

It took nearly a year for the radicals to take control after the Iranian revolution.

I’m with Glenn on this! Tomorrow’s program wil be interesting. Follow the money and you will find SOROS and friends near the middle, just as he has been in other “revolutions”.

He jumped the shark a long time ago. I don’t watch his show because I don’t like being lectured to and bitched at by his whiney voice. He takes on some kind of a preacher persona that just hits me sideways.

I know people here like him, but this is just my opinion.

Facts. Truth. Double sourced and triple checked.

Got it? Try it sometime. . . Research is 'in'. .

This guy is a propaganda spewing liberal.

Beck also correctly mentioned the socialist and communist ties to the events in Egypt.
According to this clown all the muslim brotherhood would have to do is change their name then Beck would become so very exposed.

The fact that his rating are down by 50 % is a total lie, coming from a fool who may have 10-20 loyal readers each week.

Nice try, the American are way too informed to believe one word of what you say, you might as well be wearing a Mao hat plowing the fields, as far as I’m concerned.

Of course, Beck is always able to convince his audience that he was right all along. He consistently says that higher inflation rates are coming even though they have not come yet. Beck is quick to point to rising prices for any product while ignoring stable prices overall.
They are "stable" because little things like FOOD and ENERGY have been removed from the calculations, you nitwit.

those crocodile tears just make me shut this wuss off every time. I agree with most of his politics but his style is for someone else...not me.

I don’t mistake Beck for a prophet. He’s sincere, often right, and he’s got a megaphone built with Beck’s Miracle Gro. But predicting something big and apocalyptic shouldn’t, in itself, discredit him. He could be right, you know.
I’ve talked to enough muslims (used to be neighbor to a whole pack of fundies with a mosque/madrassa “islamic center”) to say without a doubt, they DO want their nasty cult to take over the entire world. They DO want a caliphate and they want it yesterday.
Those muslims who don’t, haven’t the intellectual ammo or the guts to differ with the “revealed word” in their quran. They can never get to first base with a reformation, because the quran is plain on this point.
As many have said, there’s no moderate muslim as opposed to fanatical muslim. Certainly not when it comes to islamic domination.
We need to get our heads out of the sand while they’re still attached to our necks.

Agreed. I don't like listening to Beck for this reason. His style is irritating and it sucks. Trouble is, his analysis about the intention of radical islam to restore the caliphate , destroy western civilization, and spread islam worldwide is beyond dispute. It may not happen, or it may take a century if it does. But he is right aout the basics. Now if only he could act like a serious adult when addressing serious things.

If Beck has “jumped the shark” on this then put me right there with him because I believe him to be EXACTLY right!

While I agree that his delivery is somewhat of a trial at times, and he is not too polished, the assessment of the muslim brotherhood’s goals is still correct. They’ve not made any great secret of their wishes or what they work toward. Even if one discounts the collusion between disparate groups, the mb is a genuine concern, and we will likely pay for this blunder of the president’s for quite some time to come. Those who desire islam ruling all still want it. And work toward it, darn them. Just as those of a PC bent ignore and discount it.

That’s what I’m seeing. Those that think this is good and those that think this is bad. I tend to lean more towards what Glenn is saying in part because I know what the bible says about the time before Christs return. I also know how parasites work, from the microscopic all the way up through the food chain to humans. The muslim brotherhood are parasites and so is Soro’s and the left. They feed on destabilized situations and the ignorance and panic of people.
