Because
They Hate: A Survivor of Islamic Terror Warns America
by
Brigitte Gabriel

and thank you for taking the time to visit
our website, American Congress for Truth. Evil prevails when good
people do nothing. With the spread of radical Islamic fundamentalism
throughout the world, it is important for the people of the western
world to know and understand what
to expect and what to do about
it.
We are faced with a war that has been declared
on Christians and Jews in America and the world. Citizens of the
most powerful country on earth watched in horror on 9/11, 2001 as
a handful of men brought the United States of America to its knees.
Wall Street froze, the stock market tumbled, and national air traffic
ground to a halt. The West faces a threat more menacing today than
the past goals of communist world domination.
We are facing an enemy that uses children
as human bombs, mothers as suicide bombers, and men driven by the
glory of death and the promise of eternal sexual bliss in heaven.
We are fighting an enemy that loves death more than we love life.
I am a victim of the Lebanese civil war, which was the first front
in the worldwide Jihad of militant Islam against the only Christian
country in the Middle East. My family’s home was shelled and
destroyed leaving me wounded. I lived underground in a bomb shelter
from age 10 to 17 without electricity and very little food. I had
to crawl under sniper bullets to a spring to fetch water for my
elderly parents. I was betrayed by my country, rescued by my enemy
Israel, the Jewish State that is under attack for its existence
today.
911 changed most American lives forever,
but it struck an especially sensitive chord with me. It reminded
me that the entire world is threatened by the same radical Islamic
theology that succeeded in annihilating the “infidels”
in Lebanon. That’s why I created American Congress for Truth.
ACT was formed in June 2002 to inform, inspire and motivate Jews
and Christians throughout society in ways to act and fight for our
western ways of life and the values we cherish. Our members include
Jews, Arabs and Christians from all background both secular and
religious, liberals and conservatives. People who have put their
differences aside to combat both anti American and anti Israel propaganda
masquerading as anti Imperialism and anti Zionism wherever it exists;
in the western media, among the intellectual elite, and on American
college Campuses.
So many times in history in the last 100
years, citizens have stood by and done nothing allowing evil to
prevail. As America stood up against and defeated communism now
it is time to stand up against the terror of religious bigotry and
intolerance. I urge you to become an ACT activist and join a growing
network of Americans concerned about securing their nation from
acts of terrorism. Through American Congress for Truth you can be
a voice effecting the future of your community and your nation.
Thank you for your support. You are the heroes
who make all our work possible. And I especially thank you for helping
me protect the country that has blessed me so much, America, the
dream that became my address.
