Jihadi Du Jour: Lebanese Joan of Arc: Brigitte of ACT

Brigitte Gabriel is someone I'd somehow missed hearing about until yesterday evening when she appeared on Fox News and spoke about the danger of Islam. It was amazing to hear someone on the MSM talking about Islam the way it really is.

In her own words:

"We are facing an enemy that uses children as human bombs, mothers as suicide bombers, and men driven by the glory of death and the promise of eternal sexual bliss in heaven. We are fighting an enemy that loves death more than we love life. I am a victim of the Lebanese civil war, which was the first front in the worldwide Jihad of militant Islam against the only Christian country in the Middle East. My family’s home was shelled and destroyed leaving me wounded. I lived underground in a bomb shelter from age 10 to 17 without electricity and very little food. I had to crawl under sniper bullets to a spring to fetch water for my elderly parents. I was betrayed by my country, rescued by my enemy Israel, the Jewish State that is under attack for its existence today."

She had been rescued by the Israelis after her mother had been wounded in a muslim attack on the Christian enclave in which she and her parents lived. It was at the Israeli hospital that she first experienced the vast difference between Jews and muslims, and between Islam and democracy. After her mother was discharged they had to return to Lebanon, but when she was old enough she moved to Israel, and when her parents died, who were middle-aged when she was born, she buried them side by side in Israel.

She found work in journalism and soon became a target for death, with many close escapes before moving to the United States for her safety.

There is a video of about 52 minutes length accessible on the ACT website of an interview with her in which she details the entire, incredible story. I guarantee you'll learn new things about Islam and the Palestinians, and perhaps Israel as well. The world should see this.

Ms. Gabriel is a true hero of the war against Islamic aggression. Her organization, American Congress For Truth, which can be found online here, offers free membership and seeks to spread the word as well as take action to educate the American public and fight the spread of radical fundamentalist Islam. I joined and I hope everyone who reads this will do the same.
