Beck Ties Islam To The Antichrist - The Chalkboard Never Lies

On today's edition of his Fox News show, Glenn Beck tied Islam to the Antichrist described in the New Testament. He even had a side-by-side comparison of the Antichrist and the "12th Imam" or "Mahdi" (terms Beck uses interchangeably to describe the figure many Muslims believe will guide believers in the end times) on his chalkboard.

And to help Beck discuss this connection, Beck hosted Joel Richardson, an anti-Muslim activist who says that Satan will use Islam "to fulfill the prophesies of the Bible" and has written a column headlined "What Obama and the Antichrist have in common."

Here's Beck's chalkboard:

Although Beck says during the show that only a minority of Muslims have beliefs that should scare you, Richardson makes no such disclaimer. Rather, Richardson suggests that all Muslims (or at least all orthodox Muslims) desire the return of the Antichrist. Here are a couple of things he said:

•"You have the bad guy of the Bible. He primarily persecutes God's people, the Jews and the Christians. ... [The imam] likewise causes Jews and Christians either to submit to Islam or be killed. ... It's abundantly found throughout the Islamic sacred traditions known as the Hadith."

•"According to the Bible, the mark of the beast is a mark that is put on the foreheads that essentially condemns someone to hell. On the Islamic side, the Muslims have picked up on this tradition, except in Islamic tradition, the beast is a good guy, and he marks the foreheads of all true Muslims, and so, in essence, Muslims are desiring that they would receive the mark of the beast."

•"On the biblical side, Jesus returns to deliver his people from having been defeated and crushed, persecuted. On the Islamic side, the Muslim Jesus returns and tells the Christians of the world, you've had it wrong all along. Your Bible is corrupt. I never claimed to be the son of God. I never died on the cross. Islam is the true religion. Follow the Mahdi or die."

•"Most orthodox Muslims would say that this is sacred scripture that you cannot discard."

One more point: During the segment Beck also hosted Zuhdi Jasser, a Muslim. Jasser said that "The Quran talks about a few signs of the end of times, but most of the details you gave are from the Hadith," the oral sayings and deeds of Muhammad that are treated as holy by Muslims. Jasser continued: "Reform is I think going to happen in Islam when we start to discard parts of the Hadith that are not legitimate, that have been fabricated. And this is where there is some disagreement. So some of these stories come out of, I think, illegitimate Hadith, but others may be legitimate."

This is where Richardson states: "Most orthodox Muslims would say that this is sacred scripture that you cannot discard. He's essentially saying that it's discardible." So, Richardson is basically telling Jasser (a Muslim) that the more peaceful view of Islam is un-orthodox and that traditional Muslims hope to be united under the rule of the Antichrist who will kill Jews, Christians and nonbelievers. And Beck has given him a platform on national television.

    • rule of thumb (fuck off femenists) is when you see a chalk board broken down into two catagories, with jesus being one, and the 12th imam being the other, it is a giant flag that what ever info follows is highly subjective and most likely crazy.

      in short, dont waste your time, as it is crazy.regardless of the conclusion, the headings are insane.

    • I read the Book of Revelation when I had nothing better to do (I was REALLY bored) one uneventful night spent in a hostel in Frankfurt, Germany a couple of years ago

      Most of it uses a sentence organizational structure that is one with I am not familiar.
      But the bits that I could understand that I can remember, read like the world's singular greatest LSD Acid hallucination trip in history of all time.

      People have been looking for, and seeing, the Antichrist in everyone, everywhere, in all parts of the world, and at all points in history, ever since the founding of the Christian church's "religion" in the 4th Century CE

      other than aside from being further proof that emotionally-unstable failed rodeo circus side freak show clown Glenn Beck is a potentially dangerous borderline-psychotic schizophrenic paranoid delusional dissociative sociopath

      I honestly cannot see any way that his poor, abused chalkboard qualifies as being considered to be breaking news

      Renowned professors Gordon Wasson and John Allegro likewise suspected that the Book of Revelation was the result of a trip on amanita muscaria mushrooms, convincingly theorizing that religion was born of the sacred mushroom known by the Hindus as Soma.

      lol here we go but not as passionate as usual.
      no it is all tongue in cheek cuz human beings, regardless of religion or region inherently desire the most beneficial existance possible.
      one could look at the protests in greece or england and pose the notion that it was them who started what tunisia picked up.but it is just people dealing with thier respective situations.

      in no way is wisconsin take a cue from the middle east in how to function.it is all just silly wich is why it may be becks next crazy ass theory.

    • How does Beck consider himself to be a Christian? He hates everyone who doesn't think or look like him. He hates our country and our Black President with a passion. He sounds like a threat to the country like OBL does.

    • It's not simple people like us: Muslims, christianss, jews that make the wars and makes disorder on earth. Those who make it are the ''Elite'' of powerful states. They control the banks, internet, tv, etc. they just make fool of people and make them fight each other. Then they sit and watch how their plans are realised themselves. because they plan everything. But history prooved a crucial thing: No empire has ever ruled the world forever. Not roman empire, not othoman empire, not byzanth empire or persian or macedonian. Each one has fallen just like this one is going to fall. But the empire of nowadays does not show itself. it hides behind the TV , Big personalities, Hollywwood banks and such things. That's why they invented terrorism. Because they need to justify their war. By the way... Why are muslims considered terrorists ? because they dont want to be under occupation ? most of muslim states are ruled bu politicians who do not support their ideas, but support the ''western'' ideas. When a muslim shouts: ISLAM is blamed..... But when a western civilised man shouts: everyone applauds on democracy, freedom of speech and so on. When a ''western'' civilised man fights for its country he becomes a hero. But when a muslim fights for his own country his own house or tries to protect his doughter or wife that is about to be raped by ''western'' solider who have gone there to promote democracy he becomes a terrorist. For god's sake would U.S. risk it's soliders lives for a foreign population just in name of democracy ? At the end of all democracy is not invented by americans. And... the truth is: America fights because Israel wants to. sorry to say but historically israel has shown that wants to rule the world. That's why historically no nation has ever had true friendship or relationship or whatewer with israel. But they now have entered the white hose pentagon banks and everything. And the biggest army and economically power in the world protects them. Why ? Because they rule USA.

    • If Christians believe Christ will return AFTER the Antichrist reigns, I would think they would look forward to the Antichrist's reign so that Christ could then return. Instead, they use the Antichrist to promote fear of everything from Obama to Lady Gaga. I think they are full of shit and don't know what they fucking believe.

      Extending upon your reasoning, you should also conclude that American politicians injecting Christianity's version of sharia law (forcing women to birth their rapists babies, etc) is wrong, and furthermore that religion and politics should remain utterly separate.

      It isn't that his name is numerologically 6-6-6 (or even that he lived at 666 St. Cloud Drive in Bel Air).
      It's Reagan's "voodoo economics" and his distain for the poor that makes him an antichrist in my book.

    • There's no proof that the antchrist will be a muslim. The qur-an and the bible talk about the antichrist as a person that will come on earth as one of the 10 biggest signs of the armagedon ( end of the world ). According to qur-an and hadith 3 years before he (antichrist) comes, the life will be hard for earth's people. 1/3 of the rain will stop in the 1st year, 2/3 of the rain will stop on the 2nd year and 3/3 of the rain will stop in the 3rd year. So when he comes the people will believe to anyone who gives them a solution. And with the permission of all-llah he (th antichrist) will do some miracles, Like controlling the rain, giving life to a dead man and such. So most of the people will believe him. Muslims and christians and jews. in hadiths are mentioned even the years of his staying on earth. After this The jesus (ISA) alejhis selam will come and kill him ( the antichrist) not the christians or the jews, or anybody else. The christians and the jews will most of them believe him (the Jesus). But the jesus will not come on earth as a messenger but as a muslim. Please before u talk things about ISLAM first read about Islam and what you read must come from an ISLAM source, not from people who fabricate things against ISLAM for their personal interests.

    • And the crazy idiot with the chalkboard talks again about non-sensical bullshit that shouldn't even be taken seriously. Also, it must be noted that Glenn Beck's view/ logic over the protests is illogical and resembles backward idealisms of the domino effect except the radical Muslims are the enemy instead of the Communists (of course he still assumes that Communism is a threat as well). Its beyond me how people will follow and believe what he says and is probably the result of a lack of education/ being a baby boomer who has been indoctrinated by the idea of us vs them aka Communists and others who threaten our "way" of life.

      McCarthy himself might have been revealed for the lunatic he was, but his effects still linger. The right wing still accuses everyone who disagrees with them of being a communist. They still think that Hitler was a Socialist. McCarthyism equated capitalism to god and socialism with godlessness. To this day, our money still says "In God We Trust", and our pledge still says "Under God", both of which started in the 1950's... having far more to do with capitalism than with any god. McCarthyism lives. Beck is actually a manifestation of McCarthyism.

      Because its TV. He fits right in the TV main stream. TV quality now a days is defined by shows like "Real Housewife's of where ever", "Jersey Shores", the Palin story, ... and compared to these standards he is right on target. It shows how dumb down people have become. However, there seem to be signs of recovery, if you take the resent drop in his ratings.
