Glenn Beck’s radio show boasts more than 6 million listeners weekly. This is to say that 6 million people are privy to Beck’s tendency to equate Muslims with terrorism, and his fabricated speculations as to the number of Islamic terrorists in the United States.

Beck regularly engages in fear mongering and hate against Muslims on his program. The most egregious example of false reporting—fueled by straightforward profiling—was the instance when Beck spent days on his radio program falsely claiming that a Saudi student, Abdulrahman Ali Alharbi, was a terrorist operative who had planned and collaborated in the Boston marathon bombings.
