Brigitte Gabriel lost her childhood to militant Islam. In 1975 she was ten years old and living in Lebanon when militant Muslims from throughout the Middle East poured into her country and declared jihad against Lebanese Christians. Lebanon was the only Christian influenced country in the Middle East, and the Lebanese Civil War was the first front in what has become the worldwide jihad of fundamentalist Islam theology against non-Muslim peoples.
Based upon her personal experiences, Garbriel addresses the West’s lack of understanding and ignorance of the ways and thinking of the Middle East. She identifies mistakes the West has made in consistently underestimating the single-mindedness with which fundamentalist Islam has pursued its goals over the past thirty years. Through the telling of her own story, she outlines the history, social movements, and religious divisions that have led to today’s critical conflict.
A compelling and captivating personal story with a powerful lesson about threats to freedom in our time. – R. James Woolsey, Director of Central Intelligence, 1993-95

I think the exposure of radical islam in recent documentaries combined with the comments of women like Gabriel and men like Walid Shoebat are starting to sink in with at least a few liberals.
Which liberals?
In my part of the world, Seattle, you could hold a convention of converts to conservativism in my Mini Cooper!
What causes you to think so?
You may well be right. I've just not noticed.
I send these types of videos to coworkers of my wife. (Mostly liberal nurses)
One wrote to me today about this speech. She said that Gabriel sounds "too pro Israel" but she said that she was beginning to understand.
Liberal "men" are a lost cause but women have a hard time ignoring stories like the one about tearing the baby in half.

I agree.
Saw her on Glenn Beck's TV show. Fantastic woman. I wish she were Sec of State instead of the Arab ass-kisser we have now.
Absolutely true.. the girl is right on..
In 1945, President Harry Truman ended the war in the Pacific, bringing about VJ day.
After dropping a bomb on Hiroshima, the Japanese continued to fight on without regard to any regard to morality. After Nagasaki (the second bomb) Emperor Hirohito surrendered. Subsequent to that, Gen. MacArthur took the formal papers of surrender and installed a Western system of Government in Japan. Japan has done handsomely since then, witness the death of Detroit vehicles in the U.S., not to mention TVs, radios, cel phones and every gadget one can think of.
Could this plan work in other places?
I went skeet shooting for the first time today and was encouraged when some people were calling the 'clays' we were shoot various Muslim names. "Take that Osama, take that Mohammad, etc."
I just finished her book and it was astounding!!!
A must read for every voter.
”A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
By spreading this definition around, perhaps we can employ one of the more effective methods of deflating and defeating the fools who practice and promote it: RIDICULE.
Unless stopped – and soon – PC will DESTROY Western Civilization -- if it hasn’t already.
PASS IT ON!!
Does anyone know how many countries that radical Islamists have taken over in the past 50 years or so?
Gabriel does not appear to agree. Indeed, during the question and answer period she berated moderate Muslims for not flooding into the streets to demonstrate and protest against the 7th century behavior of radical Muslims.
Actions speak louder than words, she repeatedly declares. Why aren't the moderates telling the radical Muslim world, "We ar Americans first!" Radical Muslims in Dearborn, Michigan demonstrate in support of Hezbollah. Where was the moderate counter demonstration? If there is any place in the world where moderates can speak out, should speak out, it is in the United States.
Moderates need to be challenged! If the majority of Muslims are peaceful, where are they? We need to hear your voice!
Never heard this little Arabic saying before: First comes Saturday, then comes Sunday. Which means, first we kill the Jews (the little satan), then we kill the Americans (the big satan).
Rather a powerful, passionate little lady.
