Islam-Basher Brigitte Gabriel to Visit Ann Arbor on 12/4
Brigitte Gabriel is the founder of the American Congress for Truth and the author of Because They Hate: A Survivor of Islamic Terror Warns America. Gabriel is a popular speaker on the pro-Israel lecture circuit and is a member of the Jewish National Fund Speakers Bureau. Muslims, Arabs, and their friends and allies should give Gabriel a proper welcome.
Below are a few excerpts from her welcome message on the American Congress for Truth web site.
... War has been declared on Christians, Jews, non-Muslims and secularists worldwide by Islamic extremists...simply because we are infidels according to their belief.The Maronites form the base community for the quasi-fascist Kata'ib Party, better known in the West as the Phalange Party (see Hizbullah, Israel, and the Gemayel Assassination) and have been allies of Israel and the West in Lebanon since at least early 1980s. The Israelis killed tens of thousands of Palestinians and Lebanese in the country from 1982 until 2000 (a point Gabriel seems to neglect) but it was Maronite militias who actually perpetrated the Israeli-sanctioned massacres at Sabra and Shatila in 1982. Despite this, contrary to Gabriel's claims, the Maronites not only survive but wield considerable power in Lebanon, including 34 out of 128 seats in the current Lebanese parliament.
As Islamic fundamentalism spreads its tentacles worldwide, it is crucial for the people of the Western world to understand the danger, know what to expect, and know what to do about it.
Threats and realities of forced conversions to Islam, beheadings, torture and murder are quickly becoming commonplace. They’re rarely mentioned in the news and when they are, it’s with a disclaimer…the word “insurgent” has replaced the truth of “terrorists.”
Political correctness is killing us.This Is The New Reality
We are in for the fight of our lives.
That we have not yet had another terrorist attack in the United States is remarkable, but it will happen. Al Queda keeps its promises.
How do I know this? I was born in Lebanon and raised as a Christian. When the Lebanese Civil War broke out, our family, and our Maronite community came under vicious attack by Islamic extremists.
They promised to destroy us, and as you know from the recent war in Lebanon, the country is now nearly Islamic.
... Yet the West does not fully realize the bloodthirsty intentions of the menace of fundamental Islam.
This enemy -- is relentless. It is determined.Why Does Our Struggle Matter? It Matters Because...If we don't win the war against Islamofascism other issues won't matter at all.
We won't have an economy to worry about.
We won't have equal rights for all.
We won't have our cherished freedom.
And we will live under Sharia Law.We Must Win This War
The enemy loves death -- far more than we love life.
The enemy uses children as human bombs, mothers as suicide bombers, men driven by the glory of death and the promise of eternal sexual bliss in heaven...and martyrdom on earth.
This is the enemy reality: murder and death of "infidels" by any means for the glory of Allah.
Gabriel and her family come from Marjayoun in southern Lebanon. Marjayoun was the headquarters of Israeli occupation forces and Israel's proxy, the South Lebanon Army (SLA). In 2000, Hizbullah drove the Israelis from the country and the SLA collapsed. The SLA was mostly composed of Shi'a Muslims and Druze but was commanded by Christians. To quote the BBC:
The demoralised SLA force of 2,500 fighters has always been left to do the dirtiest work for Israel in what has always been a dirty conflict.Most rank-and-file SLA troops, including thousands who initially fled to Israel, have been reintegrated into Lebanese society. However, true to her collaborationist roots, Gabriel is a staunch advocate for Israel who often conflates the US and Israel in her analysis and advocacy.
Most notoriously, they were in nominal charge of al-Khiam "prison" south of Marjayoun, the Israeli military headquarters in Lebanon.
Many hundreds of Lebanese prisoners have been held there over the years without trial and without charge, under inhuman conditions with routine torture.
Former detainees said that although there was no actual Israeli presence in al-Khiam, SLA interrogators received questions for captives by e-mail from their Israeli masters over the border.
Often the detainees were held merely as hostages, because they had relatives in the Shi'a guerrilla force Hezbollah, or because they refused to collaborate with Israel.
In a September 27, 2006, presentation to the Heritage Foundation, Gabriel endorsed an "intelligence community" estimate of "180 to 300 million" radicalized Muslims worldwide--these are the enemies she has declared war with. She also berated Muslim Americans for failing to:
... take to the streets and rally and send a message to the radicals in the Middle East that we are Americans first. You kill one of us, you kill all of us. We, we condemn Hamas, we condemn al-Qaeda, we condemn Jamal Islamiya, we condemn Hizbullah ... Let's talk about the passions of the Hizbullah supporters in Dearbornistan, Michigan, right here in our country. They were free to demonstrate in support of Hizbullah, against the United States of America. Yet, we haven't seen this passion and this numbers of people coming out to the streets to defend America.In the same presentation she declared that Europe "has died" and been replaced by Muslim-dominated "Eurabia."

Dry your pity-party tears of humiliation, it's a bunch of b.s. anyway.
And you don't seem to have too good an idea as to what's been going on in Europe.
Ever wonder why there's no active Palastinian peace movement in Gaza? Because they've all been forced into exile, threatened into submission, or killed.
I'm reminded the Sonderkommandos, who did the work of the Nazis, hoping they'd be killed last.
I'd sign my name, but I have to live in Ann Arbor, and I don't need harassment from the loonies.
What you don't like hearing the truth?
I am only disappointed that I am unable to attend Bridgette's speech to show support and to hear her provide the facts. she lived it and experienced it. What about you?
Take your hatred and instead try to love your children. Don't blame others for the failures of your culture.
Based upon some of the comments from the Muslims and their supporters here at your site, can I take it that this is a taste of what living under Sharia law will be like?
?
Just wonderin'

Most of these racist and ignorant comments are from littlegreenfootballs.com anyways, this radical right wing blog that embraces intolerance and disinformation. I read it for entertainment and to remind myself how our educational system has failed us... but yeah keep up the good work and i'll try to get my sister to help your cause, she goes to U of M.
God Bless the State of Israel, and may we have the merit for the current State of Israel to be the 'light unto the nations' that it has the potential to be. While I'm at it Kol Ha Kavod L'TzaHaL!
God Bless our friends in the religious Christian right in America (and half a dozen or so folks in Canada and Europe), who we can always count on to support the righteous side of the Israel/Arab battle.
Sincerely,

Keep in mind how you extremists, leftists and islamists are ALWAYS free to speak on college campuses in this country without conservatives disrupting you or trying to shut down your speech while it is happening.
You guys better let Bridgette Gabriel speak freely, it is her solemn right. There will be witnesses there if you try to pull anything.
Last I checked, this is America, where people of all political persuasions are allowed to speak peacefully and without disruption.
Brigitte, G-d Bless.
"Slay the idolaters wherever you find them" - From your Holy Quran, Sura 9:5.
And the fact that Brigitte Gabriel is a lowly woman just rubs your noses in it, doesn't it? I guess we could expect this from Ann Arbor.
As far as LGF is concerned they are FAIR AND BALANCED. They have to courage to link to opposing websites and blogs so we can read your hate speech first hand. They do not limit their presentation of opposing viewpoints to highly edited summations. Without LGF I probably would not have found your website/blog. Without LGF it is quite likely all women would be wearing gown length gunny sacks over their heads with only eye slits and live in dhimmi. Would that make N.O.W. happy?
Judging from you I wholeheartedly agree. Our educational system has failed us. BTW, make sure your sister is appropriately covered as you would not want her to be confused with a slab of raw pork ribs. Allah LikMyCrackBar to you!
She goes over the line with her rhetoric, but you yourself go so much further in the other direction. You don't have to prove your dedication to peace by ratcheting up your furor to meet the level of those who would like to see war (which is something distressing common among the Left, of which I count myself a member).

Actually, there are less than a half dozen Muslims who have won Nobel prizes in the hard sciences. In fact, you can count them on one hand, without using your thumb and still have a finger left over.
Please feel free to make asses of yourselves, the world is watching.
To those slinging hate in the comments: do not sink to the levels of freedom-fearing hatemongers.

Sir Thomas: So you would cut down the law to get after the devil?
Young Man: Yes! I'd cut down every law in England to chase him out!
Sir Thomas: And when every law was down and the devil turned round on you, where would you shelter then, the laws all being flat? How would you stand in the winds that woud blow then? I give the devil benefit of law for my own safety's sake.
