Because They Hate

Brigitte Gabriel lost her childhood to militant Islam. In 1975 she was ten years old, living in Southern Lebanon, when militant Muslims poured into her country and declared jihad against the Lebanese Christians. The Lebanese Civil War was the first front in what has become the worldwide jihad of fundamentalist Islam against non-Muslim peoples. In this political wake-up call, Gabriel warns that the U.S. is threatened by fundamentalist Islamic theology in the same way Lebanon was: radical Islam will stop at nothing short of domination of all non-Muslim countries. She saw this start in Lebanon, and she refuses to stand silently by while it happens here. Gabriel sees in the West a blatant ignorance of the ways and thinking of the Middle East. She also points out mistakes the West has made in underestimating the single-mindedness with which fundamentalist Islam has pursued its goals over the past thirty years.--From publisher description.
