This is in the nature of an autobiography by Brigitte Gabriel; it deals with the period of time in which she grew up in Christian, Democratic Lebanon, as it came under attack by radical muslims The muslims killed indiscriminately, especially Christians and Jews, for whom they have an unremitting hate, hence the title. They didn't simply want to seize territory; they wanted to kill Christians, Jews, and pretty much anyone that doesn't share their twisted "religion". This is intended as a clarion call to those who have fallen for the muslim lie that islam is a religion of peace, which has been hijacked by a few extremists. In fact, the muslim holy book, the koran, specifically calls for all muslims to pursue jihad--war, to the death, against unbelievers. Any lie, any trickery, any act of violence, no matter how heinous, is sanctioned by the koran, as long as it is undertaken in the furtherance of islam. She provides a sufficient lexicon of the terms used in the koran, to illustrate the various points she sets out to prove. And I agree with her: it is well past time for us to wake up, forget the liberal claptrap of political correctness, multiculturalism, and the naive belief that the muslims will play nice, if we placate them. Like bullies throughout history, they will accept all gifts, and still kill you at the first opportunity. Face it. islam is at war with the rest of the world...military war, cultural war, economic war. They don't even bother to lie about their aims; they readily admit that they have declared worldwide jihad, even going so far as to brag that France has already fallen, Great Britain will be next, and then America. There are terror cells--hamas, hezbollah, the muslim brotherhood, etc, all over America, as we speak, and they stroll right in over our southern border. Better wake up, America.Read full review
This book was fascinating to read, from the very first page. The author grew up in a Christian home in Lebanon before the Muslims were in power there. She spent several years living in an underground bomb shelter with her elderly parents once the Muslims came into power. As an adult, she became a well-known television news broadcaster in the Middle East. She is now a citizen of the USA and she sternly and passionately warns Americans to realize that there can be no compromise with those who hate all people who are infidels, which means every person who is not a Muslim. I would recommend this book to everyone.
Everyone MUST read this book! This book should serve as a wake-up call to Americans who think that Islamic terrorists are only a threat in far-away corners of the world. Brigitte Gabriel puts together her actual experiences and her writing skill to warn us of the dangers to us right here in America. It's already too late in many western countries. I've also ordered her latest book "They Must be Stopped!". I haven't got it yet but I expect only the best from this author. Heed the warnings before it's too late here!
The book "Because They Hate" by Brigette Gabriel, an Arab Christian, describes her life growing up in Lebanon and how Radical Islam has taken over that country, forcing her to leave. She is now an American citizen, who has undertaken as her mission to warn us. It is Islamic religious authorities and terrorists leaders stated goal to destroy the U.S. and Western civilization. She says unless we defend ourselves, they they will succeed. "A compelling and captivating personal story with a powerful lesson about threats to freedom in our time." R. James Woolsey, Director of Central Intelligence, 1993-1995
"Because They Hate" is a must read for all Americans who love their country and care about the well-being of their families. Brigitte Gabriel truly knows what she is talking about as she has lived through the nightmare of Islamic terror while growing up in Lebanon. When radical Muslims say they don't believe in harming the "innocents" they are not saying what most think they are saying because radical Islam does not believe non Muslims are innocent. When they kill us it is a good thing to them according to the Koran. It's time for America to wake up!
