Brigitte Gabriel's review of my new book this morning puts me in mind of her superb new book, which is not to be missed.
Because They Hate is her own harrowing -- beyond harrowing -- story, the story of her childhood in Lebanon, when jihadists sowed mayhem and destruction, keeping the Christian population in terror for years on end. And Brigitte Gabriel is not afraid to draw the necessary conclusions from her experience, as politically incorrect as they may be. Here is a first-hand account of how jihad terrorists destroy lives, and how they plan and hope to do to the entire world what they did to southern Lebanon.
Brigitte Gabriel was able to escape from the physical and psychological nets the jihadists wove, becoming a fervent and articulate defender of Israel and all the nations and peoples that are threatened by jihad terror and supremacism today. If you haven't read her book or heard her speak, do both as soon as you can, and give this book to all those who still need to wake up.
Here are the endorsements, including my own, that appear on the jacket of Because They Hate:
“Brigitte Gabriel eloquently reminds America what is truly at stake in this struggle against terrorism: our families, our way of life, and our hopes. Ms. Gabriel's personal account of her own experience is riveting, compelling and spellbinding. This is a must read for the entire American public . . . This book contains monumental revelations that will shock and disturb you. But it is also a story of an indomitable spirit--Brigitte's-- that will move you.”--Steve Emerson, author of American Jihad: The Terrorists Living Amongst Us, Executive Director, the Investigative Project on Terrorism
"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's story is at once intensely personal and possessing global significance . . . the story of her family and her childhood encapsulates the threat that faces the entire free world today. Brigitte Gabriel's words should be read, and studied carefully, by all the law enforcement and government officials of the West -- as well as by everyone who values freedom.” -- Robert Spencer, author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades)
“Because They Hate should be read by all to understand radical Islam. Brigitte . . . . This book gives dire warning of what is to come if the democratic and Western world does not take responsible action to protect its people and societies. The United States is the primary target as Islamic Radicalism attempts to spread its worldwide dominance.”-- Paul E. Vallely, Maj. General US Army (Ret.), FOX News Channel Military Analyst, and coauthor of Endgame: The Blueprint for Victory in the War on Terror

I ordered this book at the same time I ordered Robert's. I read the first half of it in one sitting and was so disturbed by the truth of it, that everything I've been reading here at JW suddenly came into perfect focus. Brigitte lived the life we only fear and having lived it in her country of origin, she does not want to relive it in her adopted country of America. And for very selfish reasons, I don't want her to either.
Read her book. It is to understanding Islam what taking a speed reading course is to reading. It will open your eyes and get the concept of the consequences of jihad inside your head so fast, it will spin.

It should be clear to every thinking person, that Islam is a mental disorder that can destroy the entire free world.
Unfortunately, the US delivers a very problematic way of life. My information tells that America - 4% of the world population - wastes over 20% of all energy worldwide. This path is unsustainable and the victim is the world and its resources as a whole.
It sould be clear, that the west cannot win against Islam, before getting his own house in order.

Her video was one of the most powerful I've seen on this subject. The book will fill in the details. She is an example of how decent and rational people of Arab origin can be once they get the poisonous ideology out of their heads.

So Swissy thinks that if we start cutting greenhouse emissions, we will suddenly defeat the Jihadis. Defeating the Jihadis is the most important challenge we face by far, because a world where our kids live under Sharia law will be the worst nightmare imaginable - far worse than anything global warming could throw at us. I have my priorities - and the number one is victory against the Jihad.

Nice title for the book. Of course they hate-the Koran tells them to be hateful. To be pious one MUST hate according to their "holy" book. Hateful and destructive-that's what Islam is all about. Allah comes off as hateful and vindictive and who wouldn't want to be like Allah?
Yes indeed, this is a mental disorder. When I think about this kind of hate I always have a mental picture of Hitler giving one of his rage filled speeches, practically foaming at the mouth.
No wonder these idiots revere Der Fuhrer so much.

Brigitte Gabriel is a jewel to be treasured. This linked video interview will give you a taste of her book. I'm going out to get myself a copy.

Here's the C-Span video of her talk about the book. The quality is better than YouTube.

Hey, Swissy-Missy.. Let's cut the polemics here. We also pay.. see below.. 25% of all United Nations dues. So let's not bite the hand..
"In fact, UN dues are assessed according to a country's share of the world economy or GNP. The US is assessed 25% because that is its share of the world economy,"
The world is not the victim of American Energy use. It is instead the victim of islamofascism. If these countries got their acty together then they'd be using more energy as well. See China and India recently.
Love it or leave it. Or simply stay where you are.

"My information tells that America - 4% of the world population - wastes over 20% of all energy worldwide."
So we don't consume energy, we don't use energy, we don't convert that energy into useful production , we just waste it. No one in America turns the lights off and we leave the hot water running for no reason.
What's was the point of that post?
Maybe if we make Gaia happy with the sacricifes of energy and the sacrament of recycling she'll wipe out the Islamofascist for us for us?

Hey, that's funny. I like that. My friend has a bumper sticker on his car that says: "Save the Earth - Kill yourself". Vers. 1.1 should read: "Save the Earth - Kill islamofascism".
Remmember boys and girls.. always turn off the lights. yuk.
I know why I got out of Germany. They'd rather save money by turning off the heat at night than to keep a visiting relative from catching his death by influenza.
I guess maybe the islamists won't go to Russia. It was to cold for the Germans so for the Russians's sake I hope they can at least keep Siberia mufti-free.

Thanks German in America I saw that phrase on a bumper sticker first and I thought it would be good for that wierd whining OT post about energy consumption.
On a serious note isn't it frustrating how environmentalists keep us from attaining energy independence from the Middle East? We can't drill for our own oil because of caribou, we can't use nuclear energy because of Three Mile Island, why don't we just lay down and die.
I was thinking of another phrase I could use. It would go something like "I'd rather live on Three Mile Island than in New York after terrorists detonate a nuclear bomb financed by our petro dollars" except that wouldn't fit on a bumper sticker.

Oriana Fallaci described well the anti-christian hatred in lebanon in her book "Inshallah".
But she was preaching in the desert.
I am glad that new voices like Brigitte's come up.
