Pompeo and I Are Not Hate Mongers
Townhall.com ^ | April 14, 2018 | Brigitte Gabriel

Senators grilling CIA Director and Secretary of State nominee Mike Pompeo threw out a number of charged words in an attempt to taint his reputation. Senator Cory Booker used words like “anti-Islam,” “Islamaphobe,” and the other absurd and completely unfounded clichés to describe myself, my organization, ACT for America, and anyone else whose beliefs do not conform to their politically correct fantasyland that have worked with patriots like Mr. Pompeo to expose terrorist activities both within the United States and abroad.

For the last fifteen years I’ve been traveling the world, exercising freedom of speech, as is my human right, in an effort to educate others about the threat of terrorism and radical Islam. I expose the truth behind a warped ideology that legitimizes decapitation, stonings, rape, domestic violence, female genital mutilation, and a number of other abhorrent human rights atrocities. All of these appalling acts are frequent in one particular part of the world, the Islamic world. Radical Islamists will openly cry out “Allahu Akhbar,” before committing a terrorist attack, or any of the other human rights violations aforementioned, as if their God would be pleased with their barbaric actions. I’ve got news for these politically correct senators trying to score cheap political points by slandering both myself, and patriotic officials like Mr. Pompeo; this is not a partisan issue, it’s a human issue.

But the fact that I’ve dared to call out these terrorists, and spoke the truth about the roots of their radical rage, has placed me, and those who associate with me, in the crosshairs of political smear merchants. Cliché accusations of “Islamophobia” thrown at myself and my organization, still seem to be the only defense for far-left frauds.

The term “hate group,” is another term the radical left has used to attempt to delegitimize others. The definition of this term includes “intolerance or aversion for” the object of the phobia. Am I intolerant of mass murder, justified and glorified in the name of Allah? Yes. Do I have an aversion to subway and train bombings? Yes. Do any of these locations ring a bell? Fort Hood, Texas (Nidal Hasan - NOV, 2009); the Boston Marathon bombing (APR, 2013); Charlie Hebdo massacre, Paris (JAN, 2015); the multiple restaurant and Bataclan concert massacres, Paris (NOV, 2015); the San Bernardino Christmas Party massacre (DEC, 2015); the Brussels simultaneous airport and subway attacks (MAR, 2016); the Pulse Nightclub massacre, Orlando, FL (JUN, 2016) ; Nice, France, Bastille Day truck massacre (JUL, 2016). They are all places where horrendous terrorist atrocities were committed by radical Islamists, with scores of civilian fatalities and hundreds maimed.

Senator, if my intolerance of mass murder and my aversion to human rights atrocities makes me an “Islamophobe,” then I submit that I, and everyone else with any common sense or moral compass, would fall into this category.

I am not, however, fearful of moderate, Western loving Muslims, and consequently, I’ve worked with them, and continue to do so. Most Muslims are as concerned as I am about the radicalized element of Islam, and how terrorists all over the world are perverting their hope of living in peace. ACT for America has more than a million members from all walks of life. We work with moderate Muslims, members of the LGBTQ+ community, Republicans, Democrats, and anyone willing to stand for what is right in the face of evil, and the enabling of it by the regressive left.

We defend the defenseless, those who have been terrorized for being “infidels.” Our organization works to protect women, children, homosexuals, and anyone else endangered by the radical elements that threaten their very dignity and existence in the name of their religion.

As for the moniker, “hate group,” let’s be clear, there is nothing hateful about patriotism. There is nothing hateful about defending the defenseless. There is nothing about opposing hatred, only enabling it the way that an appalling number of senators on Capitol Hill, in conjunction with the media, and anti-American political organizations do so continuously.

For years, true hate enablers, like the outrageously biased Southern Poverty Law Center, have recklessly labeled dozens of mainstream conservative organizations as “hate groups,” which has led to violent and dangerous attacks on such organizations. In fact, the SPLC has been named in court as the cause of an act of domestic terrorism, when one of their loyal followers, who soaked up their dangerous propaganda like a sponge, shot up the Family Research Council headquarters in Washington, D.C. Yet, the mainstream media still uses this disgraced organization as a neutral arbiter of hate? On what authority do they make these proclamations?

Another group which frequently traffics in false accusations such as “hate group” is the Council on American Islamic Relations. CAIR is an organization whose spokespersons have been linked to terrorist groups Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, and who have been designated as a terrorist organization in Islamic countries such as the United Arab Emirates, which itself abides by Islamic law. Let me guess, the United Arab Emirates is also “Islamophobic?”

Apparently, a Muslim brotherhood front-group like CAIR can throw out accusations such as “hate group,” but accurately calling them a terrorist organization, and stating facts about their leadership and members is a bridge too far. Give me a break.

This week, in an ironic twist, the American Defamation League sent a letter to senators, yet again making this false claim about myself, and ACT for America. These days, I suppose facts are considered the new hate speech. Should anyone be surprised? The only ammunition these anti-free speech bullies have is to cry bigotry whenever facts contradict their feelings. I’ve been defamed many times over the years, and had my life and that of my family’s threatened, with public figures like the media’s favorite jihadist Linda Sarsour calling for the mutilation of my, and FGM survivor Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s, body.

We’re living in a dangerous time more akin to the Twilight Zone than reality. A time when the aggresors are the victims, and opposition to hate is considered hateful.

For the record, ACT for America is a grassroots national security grassroots advocacy organization focused on protecting our nation’s security, western democratic values, and basic human rights. ACT for America has never, and will never, tolerate any bias, discrimination, or violence against anyone, based on their religion, gender, race, or political persuasion.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again-political correctness must die so that freedom and truth can live.

Opposing the onslaught of Islam is not hatred.

It is self-preservation.

A “phobia” (and its derivative suffix “phobe”) mean an unreasonable or irrational fear. When it comes to islamics, I’m not afraid of them, I just don’t want them here. The only reason they want themselves here is to cause trouble.

they are here to convert or kill you, make no mistake. And fear is a healthy emotion in these situations - preventing you from minimizing the danger, helping you becoming aware of what it is they intend exactly. Causing trouble is not on their list ... death is.

There's an important silver lining to Cory Booker going full-tilt crazy in that hearing. I have no doubt he has handlers who see his potential to be a nice puppet to put in Presidential politics. That performance showed that he's crazy and would be too much of a risk as a candidate.

What a fraud he is! I heard him speak a few years ago. His claim to having to endure racism in his youth. Both of his parents were among the first IBM execs. He had a tough life, being the first black in an affluent NJ suburb! (you can't make this stuff up)

Mike Pompeo, on the other hand came from a large family of limited means. He got ahead by accepting a West Point education and serving his nation.

Booker is a great story teller, from his imaginary friend T-Bone to his story about his road trip to Hawaii, he certainly has an imagination that he can sell to stupid liberal voters.

He is corrupt like Menendez, so far, he hasn’t been caught with underaged boys as of yet. Menendez has a pedo problem but the GOP will not touch it. We could unseat Menendez this year if our party could run a ballsy campaign against Bobby.

And Booker is all about talk, instead of fixing Newark’s problems he gets in stupid fake fights with late night talk show hosts, stages rescues of puppies out of burning buildings, befriends a stripper on twitter, taking selfies, he doesn’t get any real work done. Never has, never will.

How many terrorist attacks in the USA by Jews and Christians have we had in the last 100 years?

“Mike Pompeo, on the other hand came from a large family of limited means. He got ahead by accepting a West Point education and serving his nation.”

He is a member of 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment’s “Border Legion” who flew “Redcatcher” flights along the intra-german border during the cold war.
