"Survivor of Jihad Issues Challenge to Muslim-Americans"
By Kevin Mooney
CNSNews.com Staff Writer
September 29, 2006

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "(CNSNews.com) - A survivor of Islamic Jihad in the 1970s is challenging Muslim Americans who reject radical teachings to "raise their voices" and to hold demonstrations in public venues across the country denouncing violent behavior.

Brigitte Gabriel is a journalist and news producer who said she had first-hand experience with militant Muslims as a teenager living in Lebanon. The Jihad launched against Christians in Lebanon in 1975 and its relevance to contemporary politics was the focus of Gabriel's talk at the Heritage Foundation on Wednesday.

She took the opportunity to call on moderate Muslims in the U.S. to take better advantage of the constitutional freedoms that are not available to like-minded moderates in the Middle East."

"Writer of 'anti-Islam' article gets death threats"

SNIPPET: "He "accused Islam of 'exalting violence,'" and they threaten to kill him. Doesn't anyone notice the irony here?"

Thanks, Cindy. I saw Brigitte and her husband the other night. They are feverishly working out her speaking schedules and book signings for "Because They Hate".
