Based upon my personal experiences throughout my lifetime and studies, my answer is exactly what I believe about all of the so-called ' Great' religions - including Islam - and people can conclude what they may.
The HuffPo - as with all such sources - must be ' mined' for the validity of its content and to not do so is to limit one's access to information. I read all sorts of sources in forming an opinion - the MSM, sites such as HuffPo and American Thinker and Salon, personal blogs such as VDH's Private Papers, YouTube, edu sites, postings here in PS.Com, etc.
In this instance, HuffPo was cited as a reference only in that it contained the video imbed of Glenn Beck on Fox News performing in a way which is typical of his ilk and I believe is the antithesis of ' supporting' our soldiers and nation. I cited HuffPo in another thread on Glenn Beck in that it contained the actual words and links to the on-going accusations being made against and by Mr Beck - the 'sources' of the arguments vs somebody else's interpolation of the debate.
My greatest beef with Mr Beck is that he is a charlatan of the worst sort, masquerading with great aplomb as a self-educated intellectual who people listen to and cite in the same manner as a Charles Krauthammer or a Victor Davis Hanson - and, to me, that makes Mr Beck a far more dangerous man than he and many others seem to have the ability to recognize.
However, YMMV.

You did notice I didn't use the word "great" you did.
I find it hard to believe you think the huffington post is actually worth reading. I'm sure you're aware of the owners background and many of the "writers".
In a world of left's, libs and socialist "progressives" I'm damn glad Glenn Beck is out there cheering for the "Right". There's a lot more "dangerous" individuals doing far more damage to this country than Glenn Beck, an undocumented, or let me make that a correct statement, a keynan that refuses to show his birth cert to the world, comes to mind.
Oh and speaking of the "undocumented" someone may want to send the WH an email stating that the keynan may not want to visit cause the Police in Arizona will soon be asking to show the very documents Hussain Obama refuses to show.....
