Glenn Beck announced Monday that his “Restoring Courage” rally will have to move locations because he fears than an assassination attempt may take place if he hold the rally at the Temple Mount, as he originally intended.
The Temple Mount is one of the holiest and most heavily contested religious sites in the world. Beck said on his Monday show that his security team informed him that holding a polarizing rally at the site might not be the best idea. He said that, because of some of the as-yet-to-be-announced guests who are planning to attend the rally, “some of the security services were getting a little nervous.”

So… an American, a self-proclaimed Christian, standing on the Temple Mount, reaching against ‘enemies of the Jewish State’, using rhetoric of violence…. Um… yeah….
