Brigitte Gabriel
Brigitte Gabriel is a notorious apologist for the fascist Phalange group, Kataeb, and the terrorist group, the South Lebanon Army (SLA), who were responsible for the Sabra and Shatila massacres that slaughtered 1700 to 2000 Palestinians (mostly women and chidren).
Her story is that she grew up during that nation’s long, and bloody civil war. It was a war that claimed many lives and saw many factions shift alliances and allegiance. Groups that were enemies in the morning became allies at night. Indeed, Muslims fought Muslims and Christians fought Christians.
She seems to play up this milieu to justify her views, as if we should - moved by her “alibi” - automatically excuse and accept them. But her alibi is objectionable since most Lebanese who grew up during this same war did not turn out as rabidly racist as she did.
Gabriel believes Arabs “have no soul!”
The difference, my friends, between Israel and the Arab world is the difference between civilization and barbarism. It’s the difference between good and evil [applause]…. this is what we’re witnessing in the Arabic world, They have no SOUL !, they are dead set on killing and destruction. And in the name of something they call “Allah” which is very different from the God we believe….[applause] because our God is the God of love.
(No soul? An oddly dehumanizing thing for an alleged Christian to say, don’t you think?)
It is no wonder then that theThe New York Times Magazine describes her as a “Radical Islamophobe.”
Brigitte’s self-contradiction is notable. At times she seems to acknowledge that “moderate” Muslims exist,
It’s the duty of all moderate Muslims to speak against the hate, against the Jihad… the people in the West must support the moderates.
The same Brigitte Gabriel on another day scoffs at the notion that a Muslim can be moderate,
America and the West are doomed to failure in this war unless they stand up and identify the real enemy: Islam. You hear about Wahabbi and Salafi Islam as the only extreme form of Islam. All the other Muslims, supposedly, are wonderful moderates. Closer to the truth are the pictures of the irrational eruption of violence in reaction to the cartoons of Mohammed printed by a Danish newspaper…derived from one source: authentic Islam.
And she spills out to the Australian News her bizarre definition of a radical Muslim:
a practising Muslim who goes to mosque every Friday, prays five times a day, and who believes that the Koran is the word of God, and who believes that Mohammed is the perfect man and (four inaudible words) is a radical Muslim.
Let me get this straight, so a Muslim who essentially observes the basic five pillars of Islam is a radical? That leaves us with 1.4 billion radical Muslims, so who gets to be the “moderate” Muslim, I’m confused.
So Brigitte, what is it? Are there any moderates or not? Brigitte seems to be telling us that the only acceptable Muslims are the ones who don’t practice Islam altogether? Or perhaps, she’s even implying that the only good Muslim is an ex-Muslim?
The question becomes, how can someone so blatantly clueless get airtime anywhere other than on America’s Funniest Home Videos?
The answer, Brigitte has found her very own litte niche to settle within the lucrative business of Muslim-bashing. Her forte is to parlay her “otherness,” and so-called “insider knowledge of the Muslim world,” (the “I’ve been there, I know” line) into a cash cow. Meanwhile we are supposed to be duped into freaking out and running back to her for more “expert” advice brought to us from our loyal friend who ventures into the other side on our behalf.
Gabriel started two organizations, American Congress for Truth (ACT) and (she seems to be running out of ideas) Act! for America that receive plenty of funding and “donations” from the likes of the goonish Christians United for Israel and others. Maybe she thinks Americans are gullible or maybe she is a true hypocrite as Andre Gide said,
The true hypocrite is the one who ceases to perceive his deception, the one who lies with sincerity.
This very well may be the case with our merchant of intolerance and misunderstanding, Brigitte Gabriel.

wow…hypocrite is an understatement.

Can I get a fugly on that pic? Anybody?

Gabriel is a dolt of the wacko Christian Right, she says anything and everything that they want her to. It’s a business. BTW, starting two organizations and not having the courtesy to name them something different (one is the acronym of the other) shows you the level of creativity this woman has.
I believe at the end of the day she is craving the limelight that she would have no chance of getting otherwise in a thousand years

Muslim bashing is profitable business. Thanks for exposing this hateful speech so that whoever even thought to give her some credibility can think twice.

I received this in my email today, so I’ll share with you all.
In Canada too, these Zionist neo-cons try to subvert some openly, and others using underhanded means like Brad Kostynuik.
Brad Kostynuik alias “Wharold” demonises Palestinians, Arabs, Islam, and posts on many talkbacks in right wing extremist websites, revises Zionist history under different aliases, namely “Wharold”. Brandi Dickman a Jewish woman, is Brad’s wife and is also a partner there. Brad is a Christian, and calls himself a Noahide.
This is Brad Kostynuik’s professional life website in his official persona
http://www.rockpaperinternet.com/brad.html
This is his smear site, at Wordpress where he smears Obama, and Islam and Palestinians,.
http://doosmdayclockradio.wordpress.com
he also posts at this site called Israel Insider, which was hacked by
Obama supporters and destroyed then set up on ning.com
This is Wharold’s profile page on Israel Insider
http://israelinsider.ning.com/profile/wharold
This is his profile at Judeo Christian America, A
christian Zionist site on ning linked to israel insider,
He also uses “Wharold” here
http://judeochristianamerica.ning.com/profile/wharold
He also writes comments on Kahanist, Zionist, Canadian and American news talkbacks too numerous to list here
Here is a picture of Brandi Dickman, Brad’s wife
http://www.flickr.com/photos/albertamagazines/2774462005/
Brad Kostynuik doesn’t have a facebook profile, but his son Ethan does
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=585568273#/profile.php?id=588830984
He is an activist with Stand With Israel in Canada.
Brad keeps his double life of hate and racism about President Obama, Arabs, blacks, Moslems, and creates anti Obama art which he distributes to his fellow Likud extremists.
He is an activist with Stand With Israel and is linked to Walid Shoebat, who is a paid propagandist by the right wing Likud lobby, Like Brijitt Gabriel, Debbie Shclussel and others,
The Canadian Farm Business Management Council is unaware of his double life, as an anti Obama propagandist, right wing zealotry, and his affiliations with Kahanists, the Jewish version of Al Qaeda, and the Dominionists (Christian Evangleical Rapture club) Kahanism is illegal in the US, and I think in Canada they don’t even have the free speech rights that we do here.

Kostynuik was involved in an episode for Fred’s Bicycle Repair Shop and was with a music group in Toronto, but all that is unrelated. We’re only concerned with his anti Obama material.
Kostynuik posts in talkbacks and commentaries at various right wing websites using the alias “Wharold”.

For several years now, my mailbox has been indundated with an almost steady stream of mass-forwarded messages of common denominator: anti-Muslim, anti-Islam, anti-Arab etc.
I wondered if this was the work of the R party or specifically the Bush regime. But it continues after those guys are gone (at least for the next presidential term or two). The sheer amount, focus and persistence of the e-mail campaign made clear there was a powerful group with lots of resources behind it. But sources and origins for the barrage of hate propaganda were evasive, until I began looking a little more closely. I found that you seldom have to scratch far beneath the surface to find out who’s doing all this. One word, Zionism.
Example, a recent message quoting some Australian politician speaking on the “islamification” of “his” country. The guy’s name is Rudd. That sounded familiar. So I searched the web for another Rudd I remembered, a member of the violent leftist group the Weathermen, circa late 60s. It took all of five minutes. Yep, Mark Rudd, real name Rudnitski. Race? You guessed it. Member of that race of self-sworn enemies of anything and everything Arabic since before any of us were ever born.

Hey Jihadistas, remember that your great predecessor “Emir” Ismael AKA Tod Royer, the leading internet Jihadi-operative was found guilty of Jihadi terrorism in 2002 and linked to Laskar Taiba. He is serving a sentence as you know very well..his tactics didn’t thrive.
Your cover is no more.

Dear BlackbootJack,
I am a Muslim. I am also an American.
I would call myself fundamentalist, if that means following the original teachings of Islam from 1400 years ago.
I am loyal to the United States of America and I stand up for justice and equality.
I do not want you dead. I do not want your families dead.
I do not hate you. Nor do I want your children dead. I value humanity, it is priceless.
I stand up for human rights, and unity.
I do not hate everything you stand for, except for one thing, and that is ignorance.
I thought you were an American. American values do not preach racism and discrimination. I thought you were an American. America is about unity and understanding. I thought you were an American. America is about freedom to practice religion and freedom of expression.
These are the reasons why immigrants came to this country, and people like you are threatening the very fundamentals of this great country. I grew up on these values and ethics of America, and I can see that Muslims are not the enemy, ignorance is. You are the one who needs to wake up.

I’m confused, esp. by the photo. Is this woman Arab? And she claims Arabs have no souls, or just Muslims? In modern usage, Ms. Gabriel would benefit to learn, “Arabic” refers to the language while “Arab” is used at the adjective. She seems to have deep seated inferiority complexes, as do many minority ethnicities following Christianity (though how much she is an actual practicing Christian is probably doubtful). I don’t see much evidence of a “loving God” in her words.
August 20th, 2009 at 6:21 pm
its the moderates we should be careful of, there the ones that convince liberal douches that Islam is peaceful. The Extremists we can take care of, when they aren’t in greater numbers. Just shoot (or bomb) the guys with the guns.
August 23rd, 2009 at 4:37 am
Gabriel belongs to the only group in the Middle East which openly supported Hitler and Mussolini : Lebanese Maronite Christians. These idiots actually believe that they are Europeans conceived in a test tube by the French Riviera. Her animus towards Islam comes from the defeat of mass murdering Maronite collaborators of Israel during their invasion and occupation of Lebanon. Its a testament to the good will of the Muslims that they didn’t expel the Maronites for their betrayal. Their inability to perceive their tribalism, sectarian thinking, functional illiteracy and the horror of giving us to choose between 2 mass murderers such as Gemayel and Aoun just demonstrates their inability to learn from the past or bring to justice all the warlords that have ruled the country for 30 years.
For the rest of the shabbos goyim imbeciles like Mark, why Muslims would be peaceful with mass murdering zionist terrorists?

I believe Brigitte and Kamal are on to something.. I think you folks need to wake up. And yes, if you take the Koran, word for word, you will come to understand the hate of anyone non-muslim throughout the book. The Koran is full of death and hate, very different from the Bible..
September 27th, 2009 at 1:09 am
Truth is the Bible and Quran are both advocates of love and killing, stoning etc. There is good and bad as with all religions. As with all religions, people initially believe in them for the same good intentions and culture or tradition. People are inherently good. Good people get tricked into doing bad things because of religion as much as they are encouraged to do good things. However, you don’t see the kids noticing any need to fight over religion or skin color … that comes after they are taught.
John Lennon got it right when he said All You Need Is Love. Most religions have these types of versus as well, but they are drowned in a sea of the rest of the thick books that are actually archaic methods of governance. Seems to me the need is Unitarian Universalism - an institution that reminds people of love and unity by facilitating congregation of people from all belief systems … and encouraging them to learn about all theist and non theist views.
Regarding Ms Gabriel: It is probably fair to label her as an Islamophobe. However, I appreciate her warnings. I just wish she would point out all of the evil and loving verses in both the Quran and the Bible so those Christian and Jew loons would get a clue. At least the percentage of radical christian and jew loons is not as high as those in islam … and they don’t believe in their bible enough to stone their children etc … and they aren’t prone to suicidal terrorism.

The New York Times Magazine What idiot would use that liberal rag for facts? Sorry nothing personal but your showing your bi-ass.
Well as far as I can tell the Koran if you look deep, does demand world domination if you can’t see that you don’t want to see it.
Not all followers look this deep thank goodness but they also don’t do much to stop the ones that do.
As far as the Bible being LOVE, the Old Testament is pretty rough but for a purpose, if you look at the Koran its like it was cherry picked copied from the old testament. The old testament shows man he needs good because man is not able to live in peace on their own and need a savior.
The Koran heads in another direction like so many other religions(mans way to god) in my opinion only. Not all islams believers see things the same just like not all christians see the world the same so I see know reason to put them all in the same boat.
One thing most Jews and Christians do not live by the old testament laws and have moved on. Christians in general follow Jesus in LOVE as best they can. These times are testing us all.
The real problem is the chipping away of our country that was founded on Judeo Christian ethics and GODS law. If folks want to come here to get away from the life they were living then don’t bring that life here so we don’t have to live it.
Make the change to american live the foundation as it is not perfect but a work in progress or don’t come here to begin with..

Brigette Gabriel is a hero. We are Christians, and we do Love; but we hate sin. The Bible teaches us that “We will know them buy their fruit.” Now all those who reject that Islam is a religion know that it is a terrorist group of thugs who are jealous! Islam is no religion! Read the bible, get saved, accept Jesus, then your eyes will be open to the truth. But just like the Berlin airlift so many years ago. If a people or a country needs us we would be the first to respond. We Americans always are. We are nation builders. We are a special people Bless by God to do his work. You see we reject abortion, we reject homosexuality, we reject Islam due to it’s murderous ideology. We reject sin. We do not reject repentance. If you would like to be save today my friends….Just ask Jesus to come in to your heart. Tell him you believe in him. Read his word. Start with John 3:16 and then John 3:17. If you accepted Jesus today, I am glad, I have a tear in my eye….if we never meet, I will see you in heaven. For those who have rejected Jesus today, You may want to reconsider, the alternative well….you’ll find out I guess. Grace and peace be with you

Brigitte Gabriel asserts Arabs have no souls. That makes her a racist. There are no two ways about it.
She also came on record to support the Israeli attack on Lebanon in 2006 that left hundreds of her fellow Lebanese dead - both Muslims and Christians. So she is, by her own confession a supporter of mass murder.
Expose the woman for the hater she is, and move on…..
November 25th, 2009 at 9:18 pm
Lol I think its funny when islamophobes, especially the “christians” like the ones on this page call this racist bitch a hero and try to tell me, the Quran, a book i’ve read my whole life, is a book of violence. You retards have never read one letter from it, let alone know what it says besides the garbage piglett and other islamophobes tell you.
I could lay it out here the violent history of christianity right now, but I won’t because one, it would take me a long time to write that post, two and most importantly, I will not stoop to such levels, because i respect everyone, regardless of what they are.
December 3rd, 2009 at 9:10 pm
I’d like to know what you folks think of Leon Uris’ book “The Haj” I’d be interested to know.
January 1st, 2010 at 3:49 am
I’m pleased whenever Christians and Muslims slap each other around. Both ideologies will eventually fade into ridiculousness.
January 4th, 2010 at 3:15 pm
Vong of Shai, You are sadly mistaken to think that Christianity will fade away. It’s been with us for 2,000 years worldwide and Judaism even longer. You need to seek education. You are not speaking out of an educated mind but simply according to feelings. Feelings fade. Maybe that’s what you mean.
