Defeating Radical Islam
FrontPageMagazine.com | Friday, September 05, 2008
Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Brigitte Gabriel, who started her
career as an anchor for World News, an evening Arabic news program in
the Middle East. As a terrorism expert and the founder of the
nonprofit organization ACT! for America, Brigitte Gabriel travels
widely and speaks regularly on topics related to the Middle East. She
has addressed audiences at the FBI, the United States Special
Operations Command, the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain, and the Joint Forces Staff College, among others. She is the
author of the new book, They Must Be Stopped: Why We Must Defeat
Radical Islam and How We Can Do It
FP: Brigitte Gabriel, welcome back to Frontpage Interview.
Gabriel: Thank you Jamie. I am delighted to be back with you again.
FP: What inspired this book?
Gabriel: After writing my first book, “Because They Hate,” which tells
my personal experiences facing Islamic terror and is a warning to
people in the West, I realized that I must go even further defining
the threat we face and follow up the warning with solutions and a call
to action. “Because They Hate” paved the way and prepared readers for
me to take the gloves off and really define in outright terms what we
and all non-Muslims are really facing. Events following the first book
dramatically enabled me substantiate the underlying motivation behind
Islamic terror and Islamic goals and aspirations. I felt that the
additional dearth of historically proven implications of these goals
can be ignored only at our own peril. Everyone must become informed
and mobilized to stop them before it is too late.
FP: You title one of your chapters, Purists Drink Their Islam
Straight. Tell us a little bit about what this means.
Gabriel: This is a straightforward inside look at a devout enemy
motivated by religion who is willing to destroy the whole world in
order to achieve our complete submission under Islam. I do not mince
words. What we are calling radical Muslims are nothing more than
devout purists. I quote the Koran verse after verse using the same
words these terrorists use in their speeches and their videos. We have
turned a deaf ear and pretend that this couldn't be true for too long.
I use a publicly suppressed and potentially volatile Pentagon
intelligence study on the source of Islamic extremism to substantiate
the fact that it is the Koran, the holy Islamic book, that is driving
them. It is the religion itself, straight from the mouth of the
Prophet Mohammed, the perfect man, according to Muslims. It is not yet
politically correct to talk about a religious war. But this is exactly
what we are facing: a religious war declared by devout Muslims. The
Islam of Mohammed is back. It’s not radical Islam. It is not Wahhabi
Islam, it’s Mohammed’s original Islam. We are committing cultural
suicide by turning a blind eye to the danger Islam continually spells
out.
FP: What exactly is a moderate Muslim?
Gabriel: A moderate Muslim is a non-practicing Muslim. A non-
practicing or non-devout Muslim is a man who doesn't pray 5 times a
day, does drink alcohol, doesn't attend a mosque regularly, believes
he is equal to all other people and God's creation. Does not believe
that Apostates should be killed. He believes that people have the
freedom to chose what religion they want to belong to. He does not
believe that Jihad should be declared on non Muslims until they
convert or pay the Jizya. He believes that gays should not be killed
according to Sharia Law even if he disagrees with their lifestyle. He
believes that his wife is his equal and is entitled to the same
respect and education as any other man; that she is not his property
according to the Koran; that she should not be covered from head to
toe or even wear a hijab; that he does not have the right to beat her
just because he is a man and she is a woman, that Jews are his equals
in the eyes of God.
Most moderate Muslims do not know the real teaching of the Koran and
many of them have never read it. In debates between the moderates and
the radicals about the Koran, the radical always win the arguments
because Islamic law is on their side. They can quote you chapter and
verse from the Koran to support their arguments while the moderates
just sit speechless not knowing how to respond.
FP: What is the Muslim Brotherhood project for North America?
Gabriel: The Muslim Brotherhood project for North America is a
detailed document found in Switzerland in 2001. It details a 100 year
plan for radical Islam to infiltrate and dominate the West. This
document became known in the Intelligence circles as “The Project”.
The plan was conceived and written by the Muslim Brotherhood which is
the world's oldest and most sophisticated Islamic terrorist group
created in Egypt in 1928. The Muslim Brotherhood boasts seventy off
shoot terrorist organizations operating throughout the world.
The project was dated 1982 and it details strategies and tactics by
which Islamists can gradually infiltrate nations and ultimately
dominate the world with Islamic political and religious ideology. Some
of the most alarming ideas outlined are: incitement to hate and commit
violent acts against Jewish, Christian and other non-Muslim entities;
using methods other than violence to implement cultural Jihad, and
establishing a rapport with western communities until trust is won and
Islam is established. The project's intentions have been implemented
throughout the world since its creation.
FP: You discuss an emerging Islamonazi army all around the world. Tell
us about this frightening phenomenon.
Gabriel: The world now faces a new generation of students being
indoctrinated into hatred, violence and jihad. Madrassas (Islamic
schools) all over the world have paved the way and set the standards
for such radical education. From Saudi Arabia to Spain, Britain to
Bahrain, America to Australia, Islamic madrassas now operating in
nineteen world capitals preaching intolerance and fostering an
environment of hate, loathing and resentment toward Western culture,
Christians, Jews, Shiites, secular Muslims and non-Muslims.
Since 1973, wealth from oil revenues has allowed the Saudis to spread
the strict original Islam of Mohammad throughout the world by
financing Islamic madrassas. Saudi textbooks frequently quote verses
from the Koran or Hadith that condemn non-Muslims, especially
Christians and Jews. In many instances, the verse will direct the
reader to commit murder in the name of Allah. There are roughly 225
Islamic madrassas registered in the United States. This is what is
contributing to the radicalization of Muslims born and bread in
England, Canada, America and Australia who want to kill their follow
countrymen in the name of Islam.
FP: There are Madrassas and Islamic schools in America that are
actually using Americans’ tax money to teach their pedagogy. This is
quite incredible. What is happening here and why?
Gabriel: Radical Islamic influence in America’s educational system
reaches beyond the university level into grade schools and high
schools, both public and private. Islamic schools in America teach
almost 50,000 students per year. Many of them are breeding grounds for
Jihad and are financed with American Taxpayer's money. I give many
examples in the book about such schools. One is the Islamic Academy of
Florida, a private school for grades one through twelve in Tampa Bay.
In 2003 the academy received more than $350,000 worth of taxpayer-
funded school vouchers to help underprivileged children attend their
school. In the same year a federal grand jury in Tampa issued a fifty-
count indictment against the academy for being an affiliate of the
Muslim Brotherhood organization Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The
indictment claimed the academy was helping support the Palestinian
Islamic Jihad and its mission of murder and violence by raising funds
through school vouchers and fundraisers.
Another Islamic day school, the American Youth Academy was awarded in
2005, $325,000 of taxpayer money for its elementary/secondary school
program. In addition, $2,500 was awarded to the school for each child
enrolled in their pre-kindergarten programs.
The Islamic Academy of Florida and the American Youth Academy are
prime examples of Islamic terrorists and their associates operating
right under our noses. The amazing thing is that taxpayers were
unintentionally funding the overseas murders of innocent citizens,
including Americans.
FP: You talk about Jihad Camps in America. What are they and how are
we allowing this to happen on our own shores?
Gabriel: The Muslim Brotherhood in America is creative and far
reaching in its attempts to spread the world of Allah and hatred for
infidels. They are now indoctrinating young Muslim children into
radicalism in boy scouts and summer camps. At some of those “Summer
Camps” children spend their afternoons sitting indoors, listening to
speakers that preach “the way of Jihad” for true believers of Islam.
Speakers usually are well known in the field of radical Islam and
instruct Muslim youth on the mission of Jihad. Before 9/11,
administrators and campers would refer to these camps as “jihad
camps.” In the post 9/11 atmosphere, ICNA, MAS, MSA, YM, and YMS are
much more cautious about making any references to jihad. The camps are
now touted as retreats for Muslim children to learn about their
heritage. Some speakers have prepared Muslim youth for their deaths
with presentations such as “Preparation for Death,” by Dr. Nouman Ali
Khan, “The Life in the Grave,” by Imam Badawi, and “Do You Want
Paradise?” by Br. Jawad Ahmad. Ahmad began his lecture with the words,
“This should be our goal in life, I want to go to Jannah [paradise].”
They are using our laws and freedoms in preparing a new generation of
martyrs and we are allowing it to happen in the name of
multiculturalism and diversity.
FP: Are we winning or losing the fight against Islamic Jihad?
Gabriel: Right now we are in the middle of this fight militarily,
socially and psychologically. Jamie, history and Viet Cong generals
tell us that we were winning the war in Vietnam in the 60's, but
because leftists, communist sympathizers and the media told us we were
loosing, we ended up loosing. Now we are seeing the same dynamics all
over again with Islamic jihad. We are winning on the battle field in
Iraq and being defeated here at home. Because of our lack of national
solidarity here in America we are giving the enemy confidence and
strengthening their resolve making things drag on and loosing more
soldiers in the field. This political and ideological division along
with our apathy, ignorance, materialism and short sightedness are
working against us. We must match our enemy's religious resolve for
subjugation with a united secular resolve for freedom.
FP: How can we stop this threat to our western societies? What can the
average individual do?
Gabriel: History reveals very clearly that the apathetic give way to
the passionate and the complacent are subdued by the committed. This
is why I founded ACT! for America, www.actforamerica.org. ACT! For
America is mobilizing people all over the country and giving them the
tools to resist the Islamic infiltration in our society on every
level: schools, government, universities, and corporations. We now
have 200 chapters across America and and tens of thousands or
members.
We are now conducting “citizens Action training” seminars all over the
country to give people the tools and knowledge to mobilize
effectively.
Organized power at the grass-roots level will trump the voices of
political correctness and be more powerful than the establishment
media. A good example of this is the demise of the immigration reform
legislation in the U.S. Congress in 2007. In spite of support from the
media, the political left, and even some on the political right, the
proposed legislation was shelved due to the outcry of citizens across
America. In short, the voice of grass-roots America triumphed over the
voice of the elite.
We are not waiting for this phenomenon to occur in the war against
Islamofascism. We are not simply hoping for a spontaneous grass-roots
eruption that may or may not come. We are making it occur by
organizing ACT! for America chapters and supporters across America. We
will force elected representatives to choose – align themselves with
the voice of grass-roots America or the voice of political
correctness. We just launched our Congressional score cards and voter
education project. We keep tabs on bills we consider important to our
national security and the threat of Islamofascism. We research how
each congressman and senator votes on these bills. People can download
the scorecards from our website or obtain hard copies from ACT! for
America chapter activists. We make it easy for every voter in America
to know exactly how their congressmen and senators voted. I encourage
every person reading this interview to join us by going to www.actforamerica.org.
We have now launched ACT! Australia, ACT! Canada, ACT! Nigeria, and in
the process of establishing chapters in Britain, France, Israel, The
Netherlands, and Spain.
FP: Do you ever fear for your own personal safety? From where do you
get your courage?
Gabriel: I wouldn't be human if I didn't fear for my safety especially
when I receive threats and have Al-Qaida discussing me on their
Internet website saying I'm fighting Islam. Talk like that tends to
fire up the die-hard Islamists. And I don't want to be an easy target
for their wrath. I take the security measures required to insure my
safety and that of my family. I go to great length organizing security
when I speak or travel publicly. However I know what is at stake and
why it is so important to speak out boldly and loudly right now before
it is too late. As to where I get my courage? My parents taught me to
stand up for that which is right even though sometimes the right thing
to do wasn't the most popular. I reflect back on talks around the
dinner table about things my father was doing as a government official
and the flack he was getting for doing them even though they were the
right things to do. I vividly remember my childhood and the suffering
I went through as my parents and I lived in a bomb shelter for 7
years. Those memories give me the courage to continue on and insure
this will never happen again to me or to my children. I know what is
at stake. I do not want history repeating itself. I lost my country of
birth, Lebanon, to radical Islam, I do not want to lose my adopted
country America.
FP: Who are your heroes in the world today?
Gabriel: My parents will always be my number one heroes. Having grown
up in a country that did nothing for my security, I would say my next
heroes are our military generals like David Petraeus, Thomas
McInerney, Paul Vallely and the many others like them and those who
serve under them and on whose shoulders America's freedom has been
preserved. Other heroes as well are the few Muslims and former Muslims
speaking out laying their life on the line to do so like Ayan Hirsi
Ali, Zuhdi Jasser and others.
FP: Brigitte Gabriel, that you for joining us.
Gabriel: Thank you Jamie.
