Compared to his statements on substantive political issues, this is
small potatoes. But, yes, at least this one may be verified and
checked in a manner that admits of very little wiggle room. But will
it shake the confidence of his supporters, or will they just think
that their spokesman is being unfairly persecuted on a trivial matter?

I despise Glenn Beck, but, unfortunately, I _also_ despise the hard-
line liberals who are his loudest critics.

As someone who has their BA in history, I find Beck's statements on it a
combination of hilarious and horrifying.
One of the more recent ones is how the Islamic forces destroyed the
Haggis Sophia in Constantinople/Istanbul and built a mosque on its
former site.
They did not do that; they redecorated the interior of it, and built
four minarets around it.
As for his statement that Muslims were desecrating the interior of the
room that Jesus held the Last Supper in with graffiti - nowhere in the
Bible is the actual position of that place given, and the place that is
shown in Jerusalem to visitors is a fabricated tourist trap, just like
the "true" burial site of Jesus.
