Drawing U.S. Crowds With Anti-Islam Message
New York Times ^ | March 7, 2011 | LAURIE GOODSTEIN

Posted on 03/08/2011 3:36:25 AM PST by reaganaut1

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.

Representative Peter T. King, Republican of Long Island, will conduct hearings Thursday in Washington on a similar theme: that the United States is infiltrated by Muslim radicals. Mr. King was the first guest last month on a new cable television show that Ms. Gabriel co-hosts with Guy Rodgers, the executive director of ACT! and a Republican consultant who helped build the Christian Coalition, once the most potent political organization on the Christian right.

Ms. Gabriel, 46, who uses a pseudonym, casts her organization as a nonpartisan, nonreligious national security group.

Americans don't want to believe bad things about any religion, but after dozens of attempted or completed terrorist attacks planned by Muslims in the U.S., some notice a pattern.

"But some of those who work in counterterrorism say that speakers like Ms. Gabriel are spreading distortion and fear, and are doing the country a disservice by failing to make distinctions between Muslims who are potentially dangerous and those who are not.

All Muslims are "potentially dangerous." Many average Muslims may not do anything specifically violent to promote Islam, instead preferring to work quietly and deviously for the installation of sharia, but the program is always there. It's part of Islam, which is a political cult with religious trappings aimed at world domination. Every single practicing Muslim subscribes to these principles.

For the UNknowing, the UNaware and the wary,

When the founding fathers thought of America, their little baby, the last thing they wanted was an invasive force to stifle, smother it, and then overwhelm it and kill it.

Most people do not recognize that what happens in a mosque is sedition. Pure and simple. Islam is not just a “religion”, it is a cult. Larger than that though, it is a political system, it is it’s own government, a economic system (which includes funding new mosque construction), its judicial...all wrapped up in the word sharia. This is inclusive of its military (jihadis) all rolled into one with one intent ...and that is to rule wherever they take root. It is a invasive, systemic infection looking to take over the host once it has quantum.

This is not just a “religion”, but something that cloaks itself in those terms so it should not be given the same treatment contemplated under the first amendment. The Korans Sharia rules are to consume whatever government there is wherever it goes.
Islam is political, and it’s goal is to supplant and replace. Globally.

When the founding fathers thought of America, their little baby, the last thing they wanted was an invasive force to stifle, smother it, and then overwhelm it and kill it.

The sooner America learns this , the better. Some know and many do not, but it is a threat to everything America knows.

Obama? Obama and Company? Should be tried for treason in this issue for promoting the establishment of a foreign government on our soils. He is doing nothing to protect America as per his oath. Also, as a Muslim, he knows this, he know far better, he knows sharia, but is looking to deceive America.

Notice the open contempt with which this scribbler views Brigitte Gabriel. Even the title of the piece, "Drawing U.S. Crowds With Anti-Islam Message", displays her advocacy revealing that she believes Gabriel is more interested in drawing crowds than informing. "Anti-Islam" is employed as a pejorative in the same way that the Left employs "anti-choice" for pro-lifers.

Why couldn't the headline have been "Informing Americans Of The Dangers Of Islam"?

I would imagine that Laurie Goodstein has had something of a priveleged life and never had to face an enemy who sought her slaughter as has Gabriel, but she writes in her condescending manner about Ms. Gabriel who has seen the real face of Islam - a face that Goodstein discounts and denies, but knows nothing about.

With a name like Goodstein, this fool would be one of the first to die if Islam ever had it's way in America.

You are correct. It is not a religion, it is a political system with a religious component. Now, I'm not talking about those who just want to practice their muslim religion. There are certainly many in this country who are like this. However, there are many who are Islamo Fascists who want to take this country over. It's easy to tell the difference between the two. Do they want sharia law imposed in this country or not? If the answer is yes, then you have your Islamo Fascist. I used to hate hearing the call to prayers in the Middle East. There's no way we're going to be setting up loudspeakers here and having to listen to that.

Their mission is to hack down the Unites States for the Liberals and the New World Order so it can be subordinated to the single world government.

Anyone who doesn’t know that the Muslims are out to replace our Constitution with Sharia have been reading the papers and watching the evening news.

I wish I could find the quote that says people who don’t read a newspaper are more knowledgeable than those who do.

Like any other religion I suppose there are some Muslims who want to live their lives in peace. The true believers want to kill them too.

If you run into them personally, they are the friendliest people. Too bad it probably is not real and is probably part of the taqiyya that is mandated against us dhimmi types.
