Product Description
"Her writing is eloquent and her passion tremendous." --Publishers Weekly “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) Brigitte Gabriel lost her childhood to militant Islam, when militant Muslims from throughout the Middle East poured into Lebanon and declared jihad against the Lebanese Christians. Because They Hate warns that the US is threatened by fundamentalist Islamic theology in the same way Lebanon was— radical Islam will stop at nothing short of domination of all non-Muslim countries. Fiercely articulate and passionately committed, Because They Hate tells Gabriel's personal story as well as outlines the history, social movements, and religious divisions that have led to this critical historical conflict. BRIGITTE GABRIEL is a US-based journalist and news producer who started her career as an anchor for World News, an evening Arabic news program. As a terrorism expert and the founder of the nonprofit organization ACT! for America, Brigitte Gabriel travels widely and speaks regularly on topics related to the Middle East. She has addressed audiences at the FBI, the United States Special Operations Command, the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, and the Joint Forces Staff College, among others.

I received my book in a remarkably short time. It was just what I ordered and I wasn't disappointed. Haven't had a chance to read it as yet, but will get to it soon.
A very enlightening and sobering read! October 3, 2008

This book will make you sad and angry at the same time. We need to learn from Ms. Gabriel's experience if we want to spare our nation the same fate as Lebanon's. Highly recommended.

Well written, chilling accounts of horror of war. I had no idea what was going on in Christian Lebanon. She is articulate in her description of America's fate if we don't wake up to the threat we live with on a daily basis. A VERY good read.

This book is easy to understand,explicitly detailed,full of information regarding activities going on in America RIGHT NOW that are compromising America as a nation and the safety of us all.I am SO glad I read this book and will not be the same because of it. It opened my eyes to the fact that just because us hardworking family people don't have time to make keeping up on our nations political activities a priority, doesnt mean there aren't people and organizations who haven't made effecting our legislation their TOP priority. Believe me, they are making a difference the rest of us are going to regret not waking up to and Brigettes book explains the details of this explicitly.
Best book I have ever read September 25, 2008

This book is not about bashing Islam. Muslims are doing a fine job of this themselves. This book is about making Westerners aware of how good they have it. For all of the historical failings of Christianity, Jesus' core teachings are not only valid, but are responsible for the culturally advanced state of Western society. Atheists, secularists, liberals and Islamic apologists will find this book disquieting. Because it validates the moral superiority of Christian values against the bankruptcy of Islam including the hatred, treachery and violence of the Koran. Even though there is not one lie to be found in her book, as a Lebanese person myself, I believe I am in a unique position to make the following points:
1) The Lebanese civil war had co-partners in both Christians and Muslims. Just as the Muslims had an insatiable appetite for death and destruction (remember, under Islam democracy and capitalism are considered satanic idols), the Christians had an insatiable appetite for greed and money. The Christians (remember, Arab Christians have no morality when it comes to greed and money - which Jesus himself preached against) in compliance with the Muslims turned the civil war into a money making racket.
2) Radical Muslims maybe evil, brutal and treacherous, but they are also juvenile. They see evil in America and Israel the way a child sees evil in the cookie monster. 9/11 was a juvenile Islamic prank. It is similar to how Lee Harvey Oswald saw capitalist evil in killing JFK, or when Hitler attacked the Soviet Union to destroy the evil Jewish-Bolshevik edifice. These are some of the most crazed juvenile acts in history. Conspiracy theories abound because the average person cannot comprehend the motivational underpinnings of a bankrupt mind.
3) Most Maronites of Lebanon belong to a right wing fascist party modeled on Franco's Spanish Falangist party. You can check it out here: www.falangist.com It is rabidly anti-Islamic, pro-Israel and pro-USA. George W Bush's fascist foreign policy is in total compliance with the Falangist ideology and so Brigitte is backing Bush all the way. But considering the hostile Islamic world in which Lebanese Christians and Israeli Jews live in, can you really blame her?
4) Although 300 million Muslims in the Arab world dream everyday of destroying Israel and America, they have no industrial base whatsoever to do so. They are so mentally bankrupt that they spend more time on killing each other instead of thinking on ways to destroy Israel. Brigitte and George W Bush are SCARING YOU with a juvenile prank (known as 9/11) to rework the Middle East for the benefit of oil and Israel. Will it work? We can only wait and see.
5) The biggest motivating factor for Osama bin Laden to plan and execute 9/11 would be the occupation of the Islamic holy land (Mecca and Medina) by the Saudi royal family. This family is filthy rich (5000 of them), and they spend a lot of time with prostitutes and are in collusion with the US government. To make matters worse, during the first Gulf War, US infidel military forces set foot onto sacred soil. Under Islam, this is a transgression of the highest order. To put this into perspective: imagine the Pope being a puppet of a Muslim state, who has Cardinals that visit prostitutes and who's security is protected by a Muslim army within the Vatican City. This major grievance is never addressed by Brigitte Gabriel.
In the West, I believe most Muslims don't practice Jihad because they live in the real world. They know that they have to get up in the morning and go to work to earn a living. Radical Muslims on the other hand reject a mundane working life and wish instead to live in the fantasy world of Jihad (just like Star Wars). Historically, crazed radicals have always found writings that back up their world view: whether that is Aryan supremacy (Thule society), Marxist supremacy (Communist manifesto) or Islamic supremacy (Koran). In this case it just happens to be a religious document rather than a secular one. The current bout of terrorism (including the Lebanese civil war) is an indictment of the cultural bankruptcy of the Arab world and of the satanic dogma found in the cult of the Koran.
