Here is a YouTude link that is well worth your time. This speach was delivered on September 27, 2006.

Brigitte (to those of you who have not heard of her) is a Lebanese Christian now living in the US who was a former news anchor on TV; an eloquent speaker who is telling her personal experiences with Muslims. This is found on youtube and most videos posted there don’t get to stay long so I’d suggest you thru off your TV and turn this on ASAP.
This is part one of a 7 series (they are all there) sequence and last almost an hour on high speed downloads. You don’t have to watch them all at once, most are about 9 minutes long, but please take the time to watch and listen and share. You don’t hear this in our liberal press.
An alternative source is this page at www.heritage.org that has both video and mp3 formats. This version also includes an introduction that details her bio and delivered by John Hilboldt Director, Lectures and Seminars for The Heritage Foundation. here.
Based upon her personal experiences, Garbriel addresses the West’s lack of understanding and ignorance of the ways and thinking of the Middle East. She identifies mistakes the West has made in consistently underestimating the single-mindedness with which fundamentalist Islam has pursued its goals over the past thirty years. Through the telling of her own story, she outlines the history, social movements, and religious divisions that have led to today’s critical conflict.
A compelling and captivating personal story with a powerful lesson about threats to freedom in our time. – R. James Woolsey, Director of Central Intelligence, 1993-95
Brigitte Gabriel is a journalist and news producer who started her career as an anchor for World News, an evening Arabic news broadcast throughout the Middle East. She reported on the Israeli security zone in Lebanon and the Palestinian uprising in the West Bank as they unfolded. As a terrorism expert and the founder of the non-profit organization, American Congress for Truth, she speaks regularly on topics related to the Middle East on television and radio and lectures nationally and internationally.

She is one Christian Arab hero, it is not "why" they hate but BECAUSE they hate.
Have watched her on C-SPAN. Articulate and intelligent. I too am amazed that she is still alive.
Outstanding speech by a very brave woman.
Watching this on my laptop I cannot help but think of the future when we may have to sneak this type of information from one person to another.
bttt
The liberal media has been hiding this from us, for whatever reason, for far too long. They don't seem to realize the fact that if the Muslims take over, they will be among the first to be "re-programmed".

I have recently heard of 2 situations in which people heard her and woke up on the issues which we on Free Republic have found cause for great concern.
It might be an interesting thread to ask Freepers: "WHAT WORKS?"
Yep and thank you for the ping, Rebel Tex.
ping!
I got this book for Christmas and it is the most riveting and frightening thing I have ever read. All you have to do is look at the patterns and realize where we are all headed (globally) if we fail to win this war with Islam.
oh my god!
Thanks, and bump to the very top!
bump for later
Yes, one thing she suggest, go to the title place, find out who owns your local Moasc, turn that name into the FBI so they can watch and investigate them.
Seen her on C-span, She also has a site,

A message from the President and Founder
Brigitte Gabriel
Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to visit American Congress for Truth.
War has been declared on Christians, Jews, non-Muslims and secularists worldwide by Islamic extremists...simply because we are infidels according to their belief.
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.
I was nearly killed by a mortar. Our home was destroyed. We lived in a bomb shelter for seven years. Most of my childhood friends were killed. That’s how I know.
We must make the connection between individual safety and a strong national defense, increase civic preparation and political responsibility, and train all Americans to become defenders of our community safety and national security.
"All that is required for evil to triumph is for a few good men to do nothing."
Edmund Burke
Anguish struck the citizens of the United States of America on 9/11 as a
handful of hateful men murdered nearly 3,000 innocent people. A heavy pall of grief covered our nation.
Many of us wondered if we'd ever laugh again.
But 9/11 wasn't the only act of terrorism. Bali, London, Madrid, Jerusalem...the list goes on and on. 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.

More on her web site, PROUD to have her here in America;

She's on the radio quite often with my local afternoon Talk Radio ConservaBabe. She has a very scarey and important message...yet sadly, many are slow to catch on.
Bump!
