A Survivor of Islamic Terror Warns America

By: Brigitte Gabriel

Narrated by: Brigitte Gabriel

Length: 9 hrs and 39 mins

Publisher's summary

Brigitte Gabriel lost her childhood to militant Islam. In 1975 she was 10 years old and living in Southern Lebanon when militant Muslims from throughout the Middle East poured into her country and declared jihad against the Lebanese Christians, which became the first front in a worldwide jihad of fundamentalist Islam against non-Muslim peoples. For seven years, Brigitte and her parents lived in an underground bomb shelter, without running water or electricity and very little food. Because They Hate is a political wake-up call. Brigitte warns that the United States 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. Fiercely articulate and passionately committed, Gabriel tells her own story as well as outlines the history, social movements, and religious divisions that have led to this critical historical conflict.

It's the world's second-largest religion. Listen to more of our titles about Islam.

Critic reviews

"A compelling and captivating personal story with a powerful lesson about threats to freedom in our time." (R. James Woolsey, Director of Central Intelligence, 1993-95)

"Brigitte Gabriel's story is at once intensely personal and possesses global significance....[Her] words should be read, and studied carefully, by all the law enforcement and government officials of the West as well as by everyone who values freedom." (Robert Spencer, author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades))

Great Read

What a wonderful book, well written and narrated. The information contained in the book is a must for any US citizens that love their country and want to know the backstory of Jihadists in our country. I highly recommend it.

Powerful!

Brigitte Gabriel is a powerful voice that needs to be heard! She has lived it and is not afraid to tell it.

Don't miss this one!

Excellent audio book, narration by author is very effective. A must read-listen to learn what is driving the Muslim religion-culture. She clearly demonstrates that the violent,dishonest "extremist" Muslims are in fact following the teachings of their prophet Mohammed and have become the driving force of the religion. Those moderate Muslims, like those of Nazi Germany, are ineffective in quelling this movement due fear of death. Like the rise of Nazi Germany, the author cautions against appeasement and like Winston Churchill warns against this gathering storm.

Buffled

Ms. Gabriel is too harsh on the Lebanese people, culture and customs, yet I ask, since she considers herself a Lebanese, her parents were Lebanese, her friends were Lebanese, the martyr Chuck was Lebanese, aren't all those individuals decent, loving, caring people? I have been around like she has and met the good, the bad, and the ugly (spirit) in every country and in every nation and in every society. Her work otherwise is a good representation of how we lived our lives, both Moslems and Christians and how our childhood innocence was robbed from us by feudal and immoral leaders and politicians. The sad part is that those politicians and their heir are still in power and still dragging Lebanon and another innocent generation into the abyss of another civil war.

eye-opening

Maybe the most eye-opening book I have ever read. Despite her struggles with the Islamic religion, her presentation of the evils of the Islamic religion is based mainly on fact. If you are at all interested in finding out why we are hated in the middle eastern region, please read this book.

Perfect Title

If you could sum up Because They Hate in three words, what would they be?

Bridgette exposes this warrior cult masquerading as a religion.The western world's political correctness may be its undoing in time.

The story of a survivor.

This is a true account of a person who survived the middle east. It's not politically correct. listen and take it to heart. It's already here. the author poured her heart into this book.

Awareness

Very informative! The book brought alot of awareness and supported some of my own suspicion.

Incredibly Eye-Opening

It’s past time to wake up America! Brigitte Gabriel does an amazing job explaining the historical background of this region, and incorporating her own life experiences

Incredible Story

The author's story and insight is amazing. The only part I didn't like was how preachy she is at the end of the book.
