| Warriors for freedom: Judge Jeanine Pirro and Brigitte Gabriel Photo: Ileana Johnson 2014 |
The ACT for America conference was held around September 11
in order to remind our government that they work for the American people and
have a duty to protect them from Islamic terrorism. The conference also
educated members of Congress about the threat of Islam and honored chapter
leaders from various states for the incredible amount of work that they do as
soldiers on the ground.
“ACT for America is non-profit, non-partisan, and the nations’
largest grassroots organization devoted to promoting national security and
defeating terrorism. ACT for America has 280,000 members organized in more than
890 chapters nationwide and 11 countries worldwide.” The goals of ACT for America are confronting
terrorism, preserving the U. S. Constitution, securing the border, energy
independence, empowering women – protecting children, and supporting Israel. http://www.actforamerica.org/
Brigitte Gabriel spoke at the Global Anti-Semitism Summit at
the United Nations in New York City on September 9, 2014. She addressed the 500
people in attendance with passion and conviction, in defense of Jews worldwide
and against the evil of anti-Semitism. She proudly wore a Star of David necklace
given to her by the husband of a woman who passed away. She considered Brigitte
the champion of freedom from terrorism.
Brigitte described the demonization by the MSM that Jews have
committed genocide against the Palestinians, yet the Palestinian population has
increased more than 600% since 1948. “Israel must be the most incompetent mass
murder in the history of the world,” she said.
She spoke about the double standard Israel is subjected to
every day. It is held to a standard that no other country in the world is held.
Human rights are respected in Israel, yet the Human Rights Commission at the
United Nations spends most of its time investigating and condemning Israel
while they gloss over and ignore the continued human rights violations in Iran,
Cuba, China, North Korea, and many other brutal and repressive regimes.
Why is it that the Jewish people do not have the right to
exist as a state? Why are the Jewish people denied their history and connection
to their land dating back 5775 years? It
is anti-Semitism and morally repugnant, she said. Israel has the fundamental
right of self-preservation.
Hamas has been waging war on Israel for decades. It is the
same war that ISIS wages now against the world. The difference is focus,
Gabriel said. ISIS wants a worldwide Caliphate and “They commit genocide in the
name of Allah.”
“ISIS is persecuting members of every community they
encounter; ISIS is slaughtering Syrians, Lebanese, Christians, Sunnis,
Alawites, Kurds, and Yazidis, terrorizing anyone who does not submit to their
version of Islam.”
Hamas rejoiced at the death of Israeli children while they
glorified the death of their own children. They love death more than they love
their own children. “They use them as human shields, wrapping them in nails and
strapping bombs on them to detonate in crowded Jewish neighborhoods and
shopping centers. They used my own family as human shields by firing rocket
propelled grenades from above our shelter, leaving the area quickly and
abandoning us to the devastation of return fire.”
Dr. Michael Savage said in his September 15, 2014 broadcast, “If
a religion preaches death, dying, and destruction, it is not a religion, it is
a death cult.”
Hamas uses schools, mosques, and other civilian locations to
fire rockets at Israel. Jews don’t hide behind civilians, they defend
themselves. They learned from history that if someone wants to kill them, they
mean it. They are now armed and ready to fight for western civilization, for the
all of us. “Those who seek the extermination of the Jews are not going to stop
with the Jews. That should have been the lesson of the Holocaust,” said
Gabriel.
Islamic terrorism has turned the entire world into their
target. “Evil dwells where courageous men become bystanders, when the informed
become silent. ACT for America stands up
and defends the Jewish people. Make sure that people of all faiths can live in
peace and harmony and that Jews are never persecuted again.”
Gabriel explained that terrorist organizations, whether they
call themselves ISIS, Al Qaeda, Hamas, Boko Haram, or the Muslim Brotherhood,
operate from the same doctrine and ideology. And the beheadings and killings of Christians
and journalists do not indicate that they want to “coexist.”
Expressing her concern over ISIS finding well trained recruits
and suicide bombers with lightning speed, she brought up the very real possibility
that these operatives have already arrived into our country through our porous
southern border, and could walk into a mall and shut down our economy with a
small operation of suicide bombers.
Giving the listeners a five minute history of Islam, she
explained why “They are not the extreme version of Islam.” They did not change
recently from an ideology to a violent ideology, it happened long time ago.
According to Brigitte Gabriel, Prophet Muhammad tried to
preach and recruit followers in his city, Mecca, for 12 years and failed.
People did not want to follow him. He then went to Medina, a Jewish hub at the
time, to preach his message. If they would accept him, his own people would
accept him. In order to preach to the
Jews, Muhammad incorporated a lot of the Old Testament into his preaching such
as praying two times a day, not eating pork, fasting for Ramadan like the Jews
do for Yom Kippur, washing hands before prayers, etc. But the Jews of Medina
refused to accept him. That became the turning point into militarism, attacking
Jews, killing them, or expelling them from their city. At this point, she said,
“Islam changed from a strictly spiritual movement to a military/political
movement clothed in religion.”
“The Muslims base their annual calendar not on the day when Muhammad
received his revelation from the Angel Gabriel but on the day when Muhammad became
a military warrior, twelve years later in Medina. That is when the official
Islamic calendar began.”
Prophet Muhammad called the Jews “dhimmis,” second class
citizens, who stayed alive by either paying the “jizya,” the protection tax, or
by converting to Islam. Jews had to wear a necklace to prove that they paid “jizya.”
Jews and Christians were not allowed to pray publicly or ring
their church bells, or to build churches and synagogues. Jews were called “Negis”
under Islam. An explanation of “Negis” (loathing, impure) is included here. http://www.butterfliesandwheels.org/2010/halal-haram-and-negis/
The second Caliph of Iraq invented the yellow star of the
Jews in the 9th century. Jews were required to walk down the street
on the opposite side of the Muslims. The yellow star of the Jews was not a Nazi
invention, said Brigitte Gabriel; it was a Muslim invention which the Nazis
borrowed 1,000 years later. Christians were forced to wear a belt, the “zunar.”
Gabriel ended her history lesson reminding the audience that
the Crusades were launched to liberate Jerusalem. “After 300 years the Crusaders
failed and dissipated because they could not defeat Islam. Islam spread to
India, China, and central Europe. By 1600, Islam covered more surface than the
Roman Empire did at its peak.”
Kemal Atatürk (1881-1938) abolished
the Islamic Empire (Ottoman Sultanate) in 1922 after a rule of 1400 years. “This
is why the Muslims want to rebuild the Caliphate. Most people do not understand
that this is what drives ISIS. If ISIS disappears today, another organization
will spring up to rebuild the Caliphate. This is what drives our Islamist
enemies.” Islamists are not builders and peaceful “coexisters,” they dedicate
their lives to the destruction of our civilization. The peaceful majority of Islam
is irrelevant.
