Because They Hate
A Survivor of Islamic Terror Warns America
This stunning book exposes Muslim goals for world domination. Written by Brigitte Gabriel, a newsanchor and female victim of the Muslim purge of Lebanese Christians. She exposes how expansionism by violence, and lying, is at the core of the Islam belief, and how the silence of the "moderate" Muslims, their lack of condemnation of worldwide terrorism, is revealing the total hold that Islamic hatred has on the people who are indoctrinated by Muslim mullahs. She exposes how this threat is becoming a real danger in America.
From the cover:
- As an Arab Christian, and victim of radical Islam during the Lebanese Civil War, I refuse to stand by and let the same thing happen to my adopted country, the United States. Even after 9/11, there are those who say that we must "engage" our terrorist enemies, that we must "address our grievances." Their grievance is our freedom of religion. Their grievance is our democratic process. Islamic religious authorities and terrorist leaders repeatedly state that they will destroy the United States and Western civilization. Unless we take them at their word, and defend ourselves, they will succeed....
Table of Contents
- Introduction
- Radical Islam's modern war of world domination has been picked up momentum, with its universal cry of "Allahu Akbar" accompanying each act of terror and destruction.
- This book is in part my personal story and my observations. It is written in the hope that Americans and the West will recognize this imminent threat to their way of life and make the correct philosophical, legal, governmental policy, and military decisions to protect themselves from suffering the sme fate as the Lebanese infidels.

- This book is a warning. It is a warning that what happened to me and my country of birth could, terrifyingly, happen here in America, my country of adoption. It is a warning about what happened to countless other nnon-Muslims in the Middle East nd wht should never happen again anywhere or to anyone else.

- As a child, I was just too young to understand all the political implications, but I understood one thing: people wanted to kill me simply because I was a Christian. As I grew older I would discover more by watching television, and seeing the massacres, kidnappings, suicide bombings, and destruction inflicted by Muslims against non-Muslims worldwide. I would hear the hatred and bigotry espoused by mullahs in mosques televised throughout the Middle East and eventually throughout the world. Today I live on another continent eight thousand miles away from Lebanon. I sat watching television with my American children on September 11, 2001, crying as I heard the screams of family members looking for their loved ones buried under the rubble of the World Trade Center. It was my children who now looked at me and asked: 'Mom! Who is Osama bin Laden and why does he call us infidels?'... Different generation, different nationality, different content, twenty-five years apart. Same enemy: radical Islam.- Page 33

- In theory, the Lebanese civil war ended in October 1976, with the Six Parties Summit. Delegates from Syria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Kuwait, the PLO, and, oh yes, Lebanon, represented by Syrian puppets, met in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and then Cairo Egypt. They conveniently forgot to tell the people shelling us. - Page 53

- The war had been raging now for seven years as the Western world watched. No one realized what the Christians in Lebanon were going through except the Israeli Jews. They had been facing this force of hatred ever since their inception. - Page 69
- ''I was amazed that the Israelis were providing medical treatment to Palestinian and Muslim gunmen. I could understand why the ISraelis would help Lebanese Chistians. We were their allies. But the Palestinians and Muslims were sworn, mortal enemies, dedicated to the destruction of Israel and the slaughter of the Jews. Yet, Israeli doctors and nurses worked feverishly to save their lives. Each patient was treated solely acording to the nature of his or her injury. The doctor treated my mother before he treated an Israeli soldier lying next to her because her injury was more severe than his. The Israelis did not see religion, politcal affiliation, or nationality. They saw only people in need and they helped." - Page 77
- I recalled all of the horrible things that I had heard about Jews in general and Israelis in particular as I was growing up: they were greedy, brtal, and treacherous; they were the cause of all misery in the world. I had seen with my own eyes that nothing could be further from the truth. I was to learn this lesson many times while Mama was in the hospital. - Page 80
- I also learned about hatred, intolerance, and bigotry. The Muslim woman who was in the room with my mother had stayed in the hospital for about twelve days. And even after ten days, when the doctors left the room after changing her bandages and checking on her in their morning tour, she said, with an evil, hate filled look on her face, "I hate you all. I wish you were all dead." And for the first time in my life I saw evil. I realized that this Muslim couldn't love the Jews even after they had saved her life. And when you are unable to be grateful to the people who saved your life, you have no soul. When humans become devoid of compassiona, a sense of forgiveness, and open-mindedness, when they surrender ther humanity to hate, they become an evil force of darkness that is irreconcilable with hope, love, and peace.

- Western journalists broadcast distorted Palestinian version of the war without checking the facts, and while ignoring the plight of the Lebanese Christians - Page 85
- Throughout Lebanon, talking politics was the national pastime... Of course the main conclusion of every conversation was that the Lebanese war was an America-Israeli conspiracy, and if America wanted it, it could stop it in three days. Both the Christians and the Muslims believed this. This belief was repeated over and over by politicians at ever opportunity in the Arabic media. The people believed it because they had no other prespective, as I'd had in Israel. The irrationality of the belief in conspiracy theories and lies presented by leaders and governments with hidden agendas is important to understand. People's subjective reality is far from the real situation. They believe ridiculous ideas, and logic simply isn't part of their thinking, which is why Western liberal reasoning isn't going to work. - Page 88
- As days passed, I became more disgusted with my culture. I began to compare my place as a female in Lebanese society to that of females in Israeli society. - Page 88

Book Description:
- Brigitte Gabriel lost her childhood to militant Islam. In 1975 she was ten years old and living in Southern Lebanon when militant Muslims from throughout the Middle East poured into her country and declared jihad against the Lebanese Christians. Lebanon was the only Christian influenced country in the Middle East, and the Lebanese Civil War was the first front in what has become the worldwide jihad of fundamentalist Islam against non-Muslim peoples. For seven years, Brigitte and her parents lived in an underground bomb shelter. They had no running water or electricity and very little food; at times they were reduced to boiling grass to survive.
- Because They Hate is a political wake-up call told through a very personal memoir frame. Brigitte 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. Gabriel saw this mission start in Lebanon, and she refuses to stand silently by while it happens here. Gabriel sees in the West a lack of understanding and a blatant ignorance of the ways and thinking of the Middle East. She also points out mistakes the West has made in consistently underestimating the single-mindedness with which fundamentalist Islam has pursued its goals over the past thirty years.
- Fiercely articulate and passionately committed, Gabriel tells her own story as well as outlines the history, social movements, and religious divisions that have led to this critical historical conflict.
