Where Will The Glenn Beck Rally Money Go?
A footnote on Glenn Beck's Aug. 28th, 2010 Rally Web page explains that donations will go first toward the cost of the event. Anything left over will then be kept by the foundation which provides scholarships to children of Special Operations veterans.
What Do American Teenagers Know About Islam?
According to this NY Times report, a group of teenagers have repeatedly gathered outside a mosque in Carlton, New York where they've harassed worshipers by yelling obscenities and insults during evening prayers for Ramadan. The teenagers also are accused of sideswiping a worshiper with their vehicle on Monday Aug. 30th and, on Friday Aug. 27th, 2010, firing a shotgun outside the mosque. No one was hit when the 17 year-old fired the shotgun, but he has been charged with criminal possession of a weapon and faces up to four years in prison if convicted. The others have been charged with disrupting a religious service, a misdemeanor.

Are Glenn Beck and President Obama Christians?
Fox News has made the President's religion a topic:
And Glenn Beck (on the morning after his Aug. 28th, 2010 rally) went on Fox News to question the President's faith, saying that "people aren't recognizing [President Obama's] version of Christianity."
To add to the confusion, on Aug. 30th, 2010 NPR's Robert Siegel talked to Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission about religion and Glenn Beck. On NPR Reverend Land asserted that President Obama is not a mainstream Christian (because of his advocacy for "liberation theology") but that Glenn Beck's Mormonism is even farther afield and "not a Christian faith."
