We gather here today to share information and knowledge. Intelligence is not merely cold hard data about numerical strength or armament or disposition of military forces. The most important element of intelligence has to be understanding the mindset and intention of the enemy. The west has been wallowing in a state of ignorance and denial for thirty years as Muslim extremist perpetrated evil against innocent victims in the name of Allah.
I was ten years old when my home exploded around me burying me under the rebel drinking my blood to survive as the perpetrators shouted Allah Akbar. My only crime was that I was a Christian living in a Christian town. I learned at 10 years old the meaning of the word "infidel." I had a crash course in survival not in girl scouts, but in a bomb shelter where I lived for seven years in pitch darkness, freezing cold, drinking stale water and eating grass to live. At the age of thirteen I dressed in my burial clothes going to bed at night waiting to be slaughtered and by the age of 20 I had buried most of my friends who were killed by Muslims. We were not Americans living in New York, or Britons in London, we were Arab Christians living in Lebanon.
As a victim of Islamic terror, I was amazed when I saw Americans waking up on September 12th 2001 asking themselves "Why do they hate us?" The psychoanalyst experts were coming up with all sort of excuses as to what did we do to offend the Muslim World? If America and the west were paying attention to the Middle East they would not have had to even ask the question. Simply put, they hate me and you because we are defined in their eyes by one simple word, "infidels."
Under the banner of Islam "la, ilaha illa allah, muhammad rasoulu allah," there is no God but Allah, Muhammad is his prophet, they murdered Jewish children in Israel, massacred Christians in Lebanon, killed Copts in Egypt, Assyrians in Syria, Hindus in India, and expelled almost 900,000 Jews out of Muslim lands. We Middle Eastern infidels paid the price then and for their indifference and shortsightedness infidels worldwide are paying the price now.
Tolerating evil is a crime. Appeasing murderers doesn't buy protection, it earns disrespect and loathing in the enemy's eyes. Apathy is the weapon by which the west is committing suicide. Political correctness is the shackles around our ankles by which Islamists are leading us to our demise.
America and the West are doomed to failure in this war unless they stand up and identify the real enemy. Islam. You hear about Wahabbi and Salafi Islam as the only extreme form of Islam. All the other Muslims are wonderful moderates. I hope the pictures of the irrational eruption of violence from around the world in reaction to the cartoons of Mohammed from burning embassies, to calls to butcher those who mock Islam, or to warnings to be prepared for the real holocaust, has given you a glimpse into the real face of the enemy. The news pictures and video of these events represents a canvas of hate decorated by different nationalities who share one common ideology of hate, bigotry and intolerance derived from one source. Authentic Islam. An Islam that is awakening from centuries of slumber to re-ignite its wrath against the infidel and dominate the world. An Islam which has declared "Intifada" on the West.
America and the west can no longer afford to lay in their lazy state of overweight ignorance. The consequences of this mental disease are starting to attack the body and if they don't take the necessary steps now to control it, death will be knocking soon.
If you want to understand the nature of the enemy we face, visualize a tapestry of snakes. They slither and they hiss, and they would eat each other alive, but they will unite in a hideous mass to achieve their common goal of imposing Islam on the world. This is the ugly face of the enemy we are fighting.
We are fighting a powerful ideology that is capable of altering human basic instincts. An ideology that can turn a mother into a launching pad of death. A perfect example is a recently elected Hamas official in the Palestinian Territories who raves in heavenly joy about sending her three sons to death and offering the ones who are still alive for the cause. It is an ideology that is capable of offering highly educated individuals such as doctors, and lawyers far more joy in attaining death than any respect and stature, life in society is ever capable of giving them.
The United States has been a prime target for radical Islamic hatred and terror. Every Friday, mosques in the Middle East ring with shrill prayers and monotonous chants calling death, destruction and damnation down on America and its people. The radical Islamists' deeds have been as vile as their words. Since the Iran Hostage crisis, more than three thousand Americans have died in a terror campaign almost unprecedented in its calculated cruelty along with thousands of other citizens worldwide. Even the Nazis did not turn their own children into human bombs, and then rejoice at their deaths as well the deaths of their victims. This intentional, indiscriminate and wholesale murder of innocent American citizens is justified and glorified in the name of Islam.
America cannot effectively defend itself in this war unless and until the American people understand the nature of the enemy that we face. Even after 9/11 there are those who say that we must "engage" our terrorist enemies, that we must "address their grievances". Their grievance is our freedom of religion. Their grievance is our freedom of speech. Their grievance is our democratic process where the rule of law comes from the voices of many not that of just one prophet. It is the respect we instill in our children towards all religions. It is the equality we grant each other as human beings sharing a planet and striving to make the world a better place for all humanity. Their grievance is the kindness and respect a man shows a woman, the justice we practice as equals under the law, and the mercy we grant our enemy. Their grievance cannot be answered by an apology for who or what we are.
Our mediocre attitude of not confronting Islamic forces of bigotry and hatred wherever it raised its ugly head in the last 30 years, has empowered and strengthened our enemy to launch a full scale attack on the very freedoms we cherish in their effort to impose their values and way of life on our civilization.
If we don't wake up and challenge our Muslims community to take action against the terrorists within it, if we don't believe in ourselves as Americans and in the standards we should hold every patriotic American to, we are going to pay a price for our shortsighted delusion.
For the sake of our children and our country, we must wake up and take action. In the face of a torrent of hateful invective and terrorist murder, America's learning curve since the Iran hostage crisis is so shallow that it is almost flat. The longer we lay supine, the more difficult it will be to stand erect.

Brigitte Gabriel is an expert on the Middle East conflict and lectures nationally and internationally on the subject. She's the former news anchor of World News for Middle East television and the founder of American Congress for Truth.com. Brigitte Gabriel is the author of a forthcoming book on the same subject to be published by St. Martin's Press later in 2006.
It must be good...the moonbats are already out trying to "cyber-burn" the book in the ratings.
(Time to pull the black plug on the insane murder cult.)
Thought you all would be interested in this.
Bump.
Precicely. Excellent article!
bttt and thanks for the post
It is, in my opinion, the #1 book to read if you really want to understand what we face. The auther through out the book, places small little jabs at the Islamics, as if to remind the reader that he really doesn't believe in the stuff he's writing about....
Read it and weep
Yep. The author is a friend of a friend, and I read an initial draft...it was both scary and, I felt, too prophetic, if we didn't get our crap together.
Read the 20 year plan for the USA by the Jihadists and a light bulb will go off...scares me silly, and I don't scare easily.
I'm going a copy paste and sending this information to my Federal and State legislators.
Or is it difficult because it deals in unpleasant topics?
Because we've discussed it positively here, expect lurking DUnderheads to scurry over to Amazon and add some more fuel to the book bonfire.
I noticed they have a new feature at Amazon which allows the author to "blog" from his review page and people can comment. One of the comments is from someone basically implying the Christian Right is more likely to create the scenario in our country than Islamofascists since they have such ironfisted control over our government- bwahahaha!!!
Maybe it was just me...but there are so many individual personalities covered
in the book that after awhile it's hard to keep track of all the "players".
Plus, the Arabic names get to be a mouthful/mindful.
I'm not knocking the book, just saying it takes a bit of time to really
digest and keep track of all the character and places. It was surely a challenge
to pull the book together as it covers A LOT of ground.
If you were rushed for time, I'd suggest at least getting these down
(the book has a pretty good index):
1. The Introduction (chilling as it was a good predictor of our current situation,
although written in 1998, IIRC)
2. adventures of The Prophet
3. Conquest of Al-Andalus (Iberian Peninsula)
4. Sieges of Constantinople (not taken for a LONG time)
5. Battle of Tour/Portiers
6. Battle of Vienna (1683?)
7. Naval Battle of Lepanto
One thing to note (especially in the taking of Al-Andalus) is the Islamics
had plenty of help from Christian collaborators.
Kinda' reminded me of today's Democrats and politically-correct morons.
I understand. Thanks for the comment.
L
Thanks for the ping LJ.
The book is fiction, right?
I doubt if there will be a jihad in this country. The next time we are hit, if we are hit, I expect things will change very rapidly. Perhaps before.
Yeah, right.
Why don't you try putting a bumper sticker on your car that says 'muhammed was a child molester' and see what happens to you here.
You and I are not 'permitted' the slightest action of resistence.
Go ahead, try it.
"Even the Nazis did not turn their own children into human bombs, and then rejoice at their deaths as well the deaths of their victims."
She's wrong on this point, Islam and the Nazi's had the same exact goal - kill all of those filthy jews ruining the earth. The heinous things the Nazi's was just much larger in the scope.
