Hysteria comes in many forms and different magnitudes. None may be greater than the hysteria created by ‘Brigitte Gabriel’ (a pseudonym she uses due to death threats), a Lebanese woman who is attempting to ‘warn’ America about impending doom from a massive wave of muslim-born violence. Would it be any surprise when I say that the vast majority of her supporters and allies are conservative republicans? I thought not. Why does that group seem to be so swiftly and intensely convinced of threats against them?
“We can’t let Shariah law take hold,” said Susan Watts, who leads a large chapter in Houston.
“She really opened up my eyes about Islam,” said Natalie Rix Cresson, a composer, clutching a signed copy of Ms. Gabriel’s book. “I didn’t realize it was so infiltrated in the schools, everywhere.”
I’ve gotta say, the only person I can agree with in this matter is Brian Fishman, research fellow at the New American Foundation and Combating Terrorism Center:
When you’ve got folks who are looking for the worst in Islam and are promoting that as the entire religion of 1.5 or 1.6 billion people, then you only empower the real extremists.”
Do yourself a favor. Enlighten yourself. Read this story.
