An expert on terrorism is warning the United States should be fighting Islamization, which she believes already is under way. And author Brigitte Gabriel should know: She watched it happen in her native Lebanon.

"Lebanon used to be the only majority Christian country in the Middle East," Gabriel told radio talk show host Andrea Shea King in a recent hour-long interview. "Most people today do not know that. We were the majority, the Muslims were the minority, but as the years went by, the Muslims became the majority because of their birth rate, but also because of our open-border policy.

"We welcomed everyone into our country," Gabriel said, and people didn't realize that the "minority," the Muslims in the society, "was not tolerant" and "did not believe all people were equal."

"They tried to impose their way of thinking on us, and they succeeded," she said.

The result, Gabriel said, was that a radical terrorist organization tied to Islam, Hezbollah, now rules in Lebanon.

As WND reported, Gabriel is fearful that terrorists believe now is the time to strike at America, while it is distracted by financial tension and election turmoil. She expressed the concerns during an interview with KSFO's Barbara Simpson, when she also discussed her new book, "They Must Be Stopped: Why We Must Defeat Radical Islam and How We Can Do It."

Gabriel's new interview with King is available on BlogTalkRadio.

She noted it's been seven years since the Sept. 11, 2001, act of war on U.S. soil by Islamists, but America is falling to Islam's attack, and the battle already is far advanced.

"They do not need to fire a single bullet to destroy us," she said. "They are taking over our country culturally, just like they have taken over Europe."

She said Islam is being taught across the U.S. as part of world history courses for seventh graders.

"A three-week course is teaching students to memorize and recite Islamic prayers and verses from the Quran," she said. "Students have to adopt Islamic names, fast for a day to experience Ramadan, the holiest of Islamic religious holidays, and write about their experience as a Muslim at the end of the program. The exercises during the class include encouraging students to incorporate Arabic phrases such as Allahu Akbar in their speeches, and for students to imagine they were meeting disciples on a pilgrimage to Mecca. This is a state-approved curriculum, using state-adopted textbooks that have been part of the instructional program in California for over a decade."

WND reported this week that a new study shows U.S. textbooks provide "information" such as that Jesus was a Palestinian and the nation of Israel imposes terrorism on others but is not a victim a terrorism.

"Now it is being rolled out nationwide. One book I discuss in particular is 'Across the Centuries,' published by Houghton Mifflin. The Muslim Council on Education has been busy working with the State Department of Education and America's top three publishers who …are literally rewriting history," Gabriel said.

"'Across the Centuries' is a staple in the State of California. This textbook is at best, a well of misinformation. It is 558 pages long and covers the 1500 years from the fall of the Roman Empire and the French Revolution. The text includes 55 pages devoted to Islam, seven pages noting the Middle Ages in Europe, and six pages of Christian history. The chapter on the Byzantine Empire received only six pages. The chapter on Islam accounts for 10 percent of the text, while Christianity and Judaism are almost entirely absent," she said.

"This is public education approved by the State Board of Education nationwide! Our students are being indoctrinated into Islam in our public schools and we don't even have a clue! How can this be allowed to be taught in public schools in America? Most people do not know about it because it is flying under the radar!" she said.

At the university level it's worse, she said.

"What's been happening for the last 16 years, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states ... because of the money coming from the oil, they have been pumping millions of dollars into our universities appointing Arab professors who are anti-American, anti-Israel, who have been basically brain-washing our students into believe we are the problem," she said. ...."

It's certainly a worrying trend. Just take a look at the trouble in Europe. It's time to make a stand so Australia does not go down the same path to disaster.

Allahu akbar!!

We got kids to say Islamic prayers in schools across America!!!

Do you really buy into this nonsense sprint?

And btw, there was never even any country called Lebanon prior to the French carving it out of Bilad ash-Sham (Arabic name for the Levant). They tried to carve out a Christian enclave, and it ended up becoming Muslim majority anyway.

Jordan,


Quote:

In 1886 the French antisemite Edouard Drumont published 'La France Juive' (Jewish France), creating the false nightmarish image of a France dominated by Jews, and sowing the poisonous seeds which came to fruit when Vichy French officials collaborated in the mass muder of French Jewry. [...] Bat Ye'or follows in notorious footsteps indeed by creating the false nightmarish image of a Europe dominated by Arabs and Muslims.

These are the words of an Israeli political activitist (Adam Keller) regarding those who subscribe the theory that Europe is being taken over by Arabs & Muslims.

Europe is being taken over by Muslims. In fact, Muslims have their eye on everywhere. That's what the Muslim goal is.

White? You know my family background?

Perhaps exotic is referring to your blind defence of these racist Euro-centric ideas like "Muslim/Arab takeover" which the Israeli activist I quoted above identified as a clear precursor to pogoroms and ethnic cleansing against the Jews in Europe.

So forgive some for assuming you sound just a little Nazi-like (and therefore probably a sympathiser with white supremacists).

Is that similar to your blind defence of all things Islamic including terrorism, intolerance, extreme punishments, degradation of women, etc? You are, after all, a terrorist sympathiser.

Actually I find the crazy evangelical takeover of the USA, far more concerning, as they are the western equivalent of the crazy Islamists.

More than half of americans surveyed believe that the US is a christian country, whose christianity was enshrined in it's constitution.

As with most things, they are absolutely incorrect.

The separation of church and state has served the US well, but the creeping christians are doing all they can to destroy that separation, and that is just as bad as theocratic muslims who deny there should ever be separation of powers.

So while I agree that Islam is playing a sneaky game, the vastly greater numbers of wackjob evangelicals, is of far greater concern for the US.

What is factual, that many priests like playing with little boys. Yes, I agree this is a fact.

Its rather sad that you believe the Virigin Mary was abused as a child...given that she was married to Joseph when she was 12.

THe question must be asked...what kind of a Christian are you.....not a good one obviously. :)

Is it not ok to offend muslims, but perfectly ok to offend non-muslims?

Just wondering what your thoughts are on this.

Could you show us some proof of Mary's age Lestat, I never knew there was any record of her age, or even jesus' birth for that matter, just documents popping up a couple of hundred years later.

I have heard people expound that the age for girls to marry was in their early teens, in that society, and ascribe a "guessed" age from that.

That is a little different to the experience of Aisha, is it not?

Could you show us some proof of Mary's age Lestat, I never knew there was any record of her age, or even jesus' birth for that matter, just documents popping up a couple of hundred years later.

Catholic Encyclopedia, 1913 edition, which is available online, reads as follows:

“It will not be without interest to recall here, unreliable though they are, the lengthy stories concerning St. Joseph’s marriage contained in the apocryphal writings. When forty years of age, Joseph married a woman called Melcha or Escha by some, Salome by others; they lived forty-nine years together and had six children … A year after his wife’s death, as the priests announced through Judea that they wished to find in the tribe of Juda a respectable man to espouse Mary, then twelve to fourteen years of age, Joseph, who was at the time ninety years old, went up to Jerusalem among the candidates; a miracle manifested the choice God had made of Joseph …” [13] (Bolding is mine.)

Although these apocryphal accounts are not now accepted by many Christians, and the Catholic Encyclopedia says that they “are void of authority”, yet it also speaks of their influence as follows:

“they nevertheless acquired in the course of ages some popularity; in them some ecclesiastical writers sought the answer to the well-known difficulty arising from the mention in the Gospel of the Lord’s brothers; from them also popular credulity has, contrary to all probability, as well as to the tradition witnessed by old works of art, retained the belief that St. Joseph was an old man at the time of marriage with the Mother of God.”

However, these accounts are accepted by the Eastern churches. The website of the Ukrainian Orthodoxy has an article on this subject entitled An Elderly Joseph which agrees with the presentation in the apocryphal writings “of Joseph as an elderly man, a widower with adult children”. It concludes:

“The Christian East’s picture of Joseph as a courageous, faithful, God-centred elderly widower rings true.”

While the Western Christian churches may not accept these accounts as authentic, the Eastern churches in Europe do accept that Mary was 12 years old and Joseph a widower 90 years old when they married. Moreover, there is nothing in the Gospels of the New Testament to contradict these accounts, and the Gospel stories are not at all inconsistent with these ages for Mary and Joseph.

The Infancy Gospel of James, Chapter 8 verse 2 to Chapter 9 verse 11

“When she [Mary] turned twelve, a group of priests took counsel together, saying, ‘Look, Mary has been in the temple of the Lord twelve years. What should we do about her now, so that she does not defile the sanctuary of the Lord our God?’ And they said to the high priest, ‘You have stood at the altar of the Lord. Go in and pray about her. And if the Lord God reveals anything to you, we will do it.’  And the priest went in taking the vestment with twelve bells into the holy of holies and prayed about her. Suddenly, an angel of the Lord stood before him, saying, ‘Zachariah, Zachariah, depart from here and gather the widowers of the people and let each one carry a staff. And the one whom the Lord God points out with a sign, she will be his wife.’ So the heralds went out to the whole surrounding area of Judea and the trumpet of the Lord rang out and all the men rushed in.

Throwing down his axe, Joseph went out to meet them. And after they had gathered together with their rods, they went to the high priest. After receiving everyone’s rod, the high priest went into the temple and prayed. When he was finished with the prayer, he took the rods and went out and gave them to each man, but there was no sign among them. Finally, Joseph took his rod. Suddenly, a dove came out of the rod and stood on Joseph’s head. And the high priest said, ‘Joseph! Joseph! You have been chosen by lot to take the virgin into your own keeping.’  And Joseph replied, saying, ‘I have sons and am old, while she is young. I will not be ridiculed among the children of Israel.’  And the high priest said, ‘Joseph, fear the Lord your God and remember what God did to Dathan and Abiron and Kore, how the earth split open and swallowed them because of their rebellion. Now fear God, Joseph, so that these things do not happen in your house.’  Fearing God, Joseph took her into his own possession.”

Now I agree that 'Christian documents' hardly constitutes proof, however, this is from their own texts, besides, it is generally accepted by all historians that the marriagable age in these days was far lower then it is today.

There are many other well documented marriages by famous western figures to young girls which would be considered unnacceptable by todays standards. For example...Charlagmagne married 2 Germanic princess's aged 11 years old.

However, this has already been extensively discussed Mozz...yet it doesn't stop the same Islamphobe's making the same insulting clearly incorrect remarks, time and time again.

Out of curiosity..if lets say in a thousand years, the average age of woman reaching puberty raises (as it has over time) to lets say 25 years (for argument sake), would this result in anyone marrying a 20 year old in these modern times, to be viewed as a peadophile?

History reveals very clearly that the apathetic give way to the passionate and the complacent are subdued by the committed.
This is the time for people to rise up and defend our freedoms.
We will force elected representatives and corporations to choose: align themselves with the voice of grassroots America or the voice of political correctness.

Is that really the best issue to make a stand on? It seems a bit arbitrary to me. It is important to the Muslims, but not to anyone else. Unless of course one holiday is in the spring and the other is in winter.
