A Case Study in Sincere Hypocrisy: Brigitte Gabriel

Posted on 14 April 2009 by Mooneye

Brigitte Gabriel

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.

    “Can anyone explain to me why Islamophobes always make comments on old threads?”

    To drown out the truth. I’d wager most of these throwbacks don’t own a passport and have never traveled outside the Americas. Notice also the slavish loyality to “israel.”
    Good shabbos goyim…

    You Muslims are really funny trying to poke humour at everything that points to you being a hate mongering group. you are haters, go an jump. You really have brought it on yourselves. Either come out and oppose the terror of your brothers that kills over 500 people every month world wide, or suffer the consequences.

    As an atheist I can only smile at these comments. Seems like you have to be religious to hate absolutely. As a former fundamentalist I understand where you guys are coming from. The only thing that makes sense to you is stuff that reinforces your faith. Rational thought and the sciences are shut out from your minds. You are preoccupied with hating atheists and others whose religious beliefs differ from your own. I think this is so sad. We are here for such a short time and there is so much information about our earth and our universe that will enrich the life of anyone who devotes the time to learn. Like the pyramid, the ignorant, the unwashed and the gullible represent the bottom. The informed, the educated and the literate dwell at the top. You are sadly missing out on so much and I pity all of you.

    Ah, sorry for the typos.

    “jihad watch” – you’re being facetious.

    The “jihadis” operate in secret without the knowledge of their friends, family or wider community – otherwise they wouldn’t be very good at what they do with it. What do you guys think? – The CIA, the FBI, and the army combined can’t track these guys down, but they’re advertising themselves at the local mosque nothing-and-cheese nights?

  • jihad watch

    I find it surprising that the Muslim community sits quietly while the fanatics co-opt their religion. They should be writing editorials, demonstrating. going on TV and do everthing possible to distance themselves from the radicals. But their silence is deafening. I recently asked an imam in my city why this was so, he gave me a lame excuse that it is too expensive! Too expenxive to isolate the jihadists?? Give me a break! They must have sunk all their money into that huge mosque they are building.

    Regardless of which side of the fence you are on this issue it is in your own best interest to be ever vigilant. Don’t just assume what you hear from the media or on your favorite blogspot is the truth. Research it. These are important issues. There is alot of hate on both sides, but the majority of people are decent and want to know the truth. You can’t just bury your head in the sand and hope it will all go away. Only an informed and united populace can make the best decisions without fear of making a mistake.

  • Semilogical

    What many of you can’t seem to grasp is that Islam is not a peaceful society. They are hell bent on taking over the world, much the same as Christians with the exception that if you don’t follow “Allah” you are an infidel and worthy of only death, there is no second option. At least the Christian faith wants all to live in peace and love of God.

    If you can’t see that Islam is a threat to the world, not just the U.S. you are as loony as your own outlook towards Brigitte Gabriel.

    If you want to believe in Islam that is your choice, but you also have to read their bible to understand that a larger percentage of them believe differently than the standard Christian and differently to the extreme.

    Hi Guys,
    Jihad is very real….the Christian community across the world has been in a state of denial about this….now it is time for us to wake up and in the least be aware of the threat it poses….Brigette Daniel is just doing it!!! (Keep up the good work)….You won’t know what she is talking about unless you are a victim (when you cannot call your land yours and to be denied all your rights because you are not a Muslim!!!)

    America & EUROPE and all free world supporters in Asia and elsewhere—-WAKE UP!!!

    Regards,
    D. Martin

  • The wake up call!!!

    A radical extremist doesn’t just terrorize for fun and joy, but because of an incident that occured to her/him. So when Bush took on Iraq for no reason except oil, many families and tears were turned to blood (not just soldiers’ but actual citizens’). The mass murderings of local citizens was favored as accidental and not to be mistakened again, but mistakes were turned into purpose when torturings and rape assaults occured in villages, Abu Ghraib prison, prisons held by U.S. soliders, and more. Now, a member of a murdered family won’t just sit there and watch more families killed “accidentally”, so this member would do something about it. These members are known to the West as “terrorists, extremists, islamists, etc…” Extremists don’t just attack what they call nonbelievers (U.S., Israel, etc…) but also the believers (Muslims in Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, etc..). So what’s feuling them?? > Oh nothing just some angry Anti-Islamists with big banners in front of mosques, angry Anti-Islamists labelling Muslims as devils or extremists, and the list goes on and on.
    To tell you all the TRUTH (which I know most will just laugh at and won’t believe in it), Islam is a religion of peace- that means Muslims, in general, cannot kill or harm anyone; they can’t lie to even a ‘disbeliever’. I have many Christian, Jewish, Athiest, Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist friends who I treat as my own brothers and sisters; they don’t nuke me and I don’t nuke them; they play sports with me and I play sports with them; I shed their tears and they shed mine; I don’t think they’re “indifels” and they don’t think I’m a terrorist. But thanks to many media people, confusing and turning people’s minds to hate on the wrong side is what they do best. So I’m telling to WHOEVER reads this post that Muslims, even in America, should treat everyone as equals. There might some fanatics out there, not that I’ve seen one, but they only bring on hate towards the people whom they think have been interpreted by the media.
    Martin Luther King, Malcom X, Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Theresa, and many more great examples of humanity have fought and died for one message- a unity for ALL of us to share even though there may be the differences concerning what color we are or what religion or country we come from- either way, that we all share a common interest- peace and love- “looking the other way” would murder this message causing their deaths meaningless but then again it’s a choice. I and many others have decided to take this message and shine it upon the haters blinding their eyes of confusion and hate. But it’s upto anyone who reads this message to decide which side they take; will it by the side of the message or the side of the endless war?

    Brigitte Gabriel is making a statement about Radical Muslims. She may be overstating the issue, but in truth, It was the Radical Muslim that killed 3,000 Americans on their own soil. It is the Radical Muslims who avowed to kill all Americans and Infidels because they will tolerate nothing but domination of peoples religions. Do you think we should do nothing to protect ourselves? Don’t let others control your mind with rhetoric. Extreme Radical Muslims are dangerous and need to be taught a lesson that coming after Americans and their friends is more dangerous than they thought. Radical Muslims are despicable around the world. If they can’t tolerate others, we will teach them. You wanna see Allah? No problem!

    Let me ask you one question.

    Does Israel have the right to exist?

    Please …no lengthy answers.

    Just a yes or no

  • sulis

    My problem with Islam is its inability to tolerate the slittest challenge or analysis of facts about the randy guy they call their prophet.For God’s sake what abuse is greater than taking a nine year old girl to bed and claim it was an instruction from God that detest any form of human right abuse? If the girl were your daughter, what would have been your reaction?
