American Propaganda - 7 Fatal Lies in 6 Minutes

Peace.

Some in the West say they take pride in their unbiased media, which is ran by the people and not by the state. However, to say that media stations only relay factual and/or unbiased information is an absolutely baseless statement.

Glenn Beck is a famous news anchor, who appears on CNN and FOX News. He is the biggest perpetrator of anti-Muslim propaganda and rhetoric, and by far the most biased anti-Muslim who appears on television. Here is what he had to say about the 12 Imam and Iran:



Let us try to skip his foolish behavior, poor jokes and inability to speak properly as a news anchor. I won't be concentrating my blog on that, but rather I will tackle his arguments and expose his bias.

#1. The guest speaker, Joel Rosenberg, was a senior Israeli aid and expert on Bible Prophecy (book of Revelations). This, right away, creates a problem: one who is affiliated with Israel and a perpetrator of modern evangelism can already be assumed as an anti-Muslim, anti-Iranian and anti-Arab without even opening his mouth. However, let's tackle what he and Glenn here had to say.

#2. Due to Ahmedinejad's phrase "May Allah hasten the return of the Mehdi", Glenn Beck and Rosenberg believe we are living in the end of days. Rosenberg speaks about Iran using nuclear warheads, despite the fact that the UN has already professed that there is absolutely no evidence that Iran is building nuclear weapons. Also, this communication satelite he talks about is not a warhead - Iran cannot hit the U.S or Europe, despite what Rosenberg says.

#3. Rosenberg says the 12 Imam (a) is the Messiah. Wrong. The Messiah is Jesus (a). Evangelists love to hide this fact, that we do in fact believe in Jesus (a), and we do believe he will return in the end times to create his kingdom of peace and justice.

#4. Rosenberg says that in order to 'hasten the return', Muslims must kill 'millions of people', and destroy the 'little Satan' and 'great Satan', Israel and the U.S. Where does he get this information? Does the Qur'an say this? No. Do any ahadith say this? No. The U.S. and Israel are not even mentioned in our scriptures, nor are we EVER instructed to annihilate entire countries. These are just clear falsities.

#5. Glenn Beck says the Imam al-Mehdi will rule from ancient Babylon. He takes this from the Bible, the book of Revelations, where the Anti-Christ rules from Babylon. Imam al-Mehdi will rule from Mecca and Medina, not Babylon.

#6. Glenn Beck and Rosenberg say the Imam al-Mehdi prophecy fits with the book of Revelations' "Anti-Christ" exactly. This is implies that the Mehdi and Anti-Christ are one in the same, which means Beck believes Islam is a devil-inspired religion. He is hiding the fact that Imam al-Mehdi and the Muslims will help the Messiah Jesus (a) and vice versa.

#7. "Twelvers are so dangerous that even the Ayatollah Khomeini outlawed them completely" - Glenn Beck. "They're too nuts!" - Rosenberg.

Twelver Muslims are not outlawed from Iran! Most Iranians are twelvers!
