Default OT - Glenn Beck shows us all what _real_ courage looks like

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.


Apparently, this follow-up on that postimg never got through; my
apolgeis if you've read it befo

BTW, that's supposed to be "Hagia Sophia" not "Haggis Sophia".
Although I can picture those worthless damn turncoat protestant Scots
actually trying to build a church out of sheep's **** bladders stuffed
with oats and suet, I doubt that it would have survived anywhere near
this long, or that the forces of Islam would want anything to do with it
at around the time they saw around a million flies gathering around it
on taking Constantinople.
