If you look at this beautiful, stylish, charming, well-spoken, multi-lingual Lebanese-American woman, you may get the idea that she has lived a charmed life, that she had a top-notch education, that she probably came from money and never had to deal with any of the trials and tribulations most of us regular folk do, that she might have a sharp mind, but has not had much experience in the big, bad, dangerous world of Islamic terror about which she speaks and writes.
If it weren't so horrific, it would be funny how wrong you'd be. Brigitte Gabriel's name and story should be shouted from the rooftops, but if you aren't able to do that, please read her book, Because They Hate. You may have trouble sleeping at night (as I did for the first time as the result of a book when I was reading it), but her message of how radical Islam is suceeding in conquering the West, as it conquered her native country, is one of the most important of our time.
She is an even more fantastic speaker than writer, so here is the must-watch speech she gave to the Heritage Foundation.
