Drawing U.S. Crowds With Anti-Islam Message

FORT WORTH — Brigitte Gabriel bounced to the stage at a Tea Party convention last fall. She greeted the crowd with a loud Texas “Yee-HAW,” then launched into the same gripping personal story she has told in hundreds of churches, synagogues and conference rooms across the United States:


As a child growing up a Maronite Christian in war-torn southern Lebanon in the 1970s, Ms. Gabriel said, she had been left lying injured in rubble after Muslims mercilessly bombed her village. She found refuge in Israel and then moved to the United States, only to find that the Islamic radicals who had terrorized her in Lebanon, she said, were now bent on taking over America.

“America has been infiltrated on all levels by radicals who wish to harm America,” she said. “They have infiltrated us at the C.I.A., at the F.B.I., at the Pentagon, at the State Department. They are being radicalized in radical mosques in our cities and communities within the United States.”

Through her books, media appearances and speeches, and her organization, ACT! for America, Ms. Gabriel has become one of the most visible personalities on a circuit of self-appointed terrorism detectors who warn that Muslims pose an enormous danger within United States borders.

5. Netflix: Islam: What the West Needs to Know. Much other reading up would help.

I suggest that anyone and everyone study up on Islam before taking sides. From what I gather there are 2 messages out there that conflict and for good reason. 1 is a message of peace and the other is of death for all who will not join or submit to Sharia law as second class citizens. The one rule to abide by in understanding the Qur'an is that what ever is the latest in message succeeds that which came before. Mecca was about peace and had many gods and Muhammad was not accepted there. It was to Medina city that Muhammad fled when he was initially driven out of Mecca. Originally Medina had many religions including Judaism. There are 2 versions of what happened to the Jews. One is that there were 600 to 900 beheaded in Medina and the other according to Josephushas has the same number or them dying at Masada. It would seem that it may be impossible to come to an accurate truth to the matter. The anti Islamists of course takes sides with the former insisting that Muhammad ordered or pushed for the murder or extermination of Jews and that the current Jihad is to eliminate Jews and Christians as a priority and to attain submission to Sharia law by all others. I have also read that the current fundamentalist Islamists have an agenda of peace only until the number of body of believers exceeds all others and at that time Sharia law will be demanded at the point of revolution and or war with the rest of the particular countries population. My understanding is that Islam is not just a religion, it is a combination of government and religion with neither being separate from the other. One may take this as a warning to countries with higher percentages of Muslim population. Certainly it would be a long time before Muslims could attain a majority in the USA and basically have 0 chance or ever taking over. What we may be seeing in Egypt and other countries is that a majority population of Muslims may be at the point of taking over and installing a theocratic Islamic government that enforces Sharia law. Certainly Brigitte Gabriel may wish to use this to instill fear in the USA but there's no way Islam could ever take over here. She's full of tea bags of shit.
