University of Michigan Islamists Try to Disrupt Brigitte Gabriel; Please Show Your Support
My friend, the beautiful Brigitte Gabriel, author of "Because They Hate," has personally appealed to me because she is under threat of her life from Muslim extremists (a repetitive phrase, in most cases, unfortunately) who want to silence her.
Brigitte, a brave Lebanese woman of valor (and an American citizen), risks her life speaking out against extremist Islam and showing us how jihad is headed our way. Tonight, she is scheduled to speak at the University of Michigan, my alma mater, which my Dad and I like to call "Moscow on the Huron" (with apologies to Moscow).

Unfortunately, Al-Awda (which means "the return," as in Palestinian so-called "right of return" to all of Israel) sent out an e-mail urging its members to "welcome" Brigitte in a not-so-veiled threat on her life, her safety, and her right to free speech. Al-Awda does not even have the courage to post this vicious e-mail on its website.
I've written a great deal about Al-Awda over the years. Al-Awda's slogan is "No Justice. No Peace." And they don't mean their peace. It's yours. Al-Awda's emblem is a map of the entire State of Israel with a giant rifle on top of it and the label "Palestine." The group held a 2000 rally in New York City, at which they illegally facilitated a speech via telephone by PFLP (Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine) terrorist George Habash.
I hope that my readers in Michigan will come to Brigitte's speech in a show of support so lacking these days in the face of those who would take our rights away in the name of their religion. The location:
8 PM TONIGHT in Auditorium C of Angell Hall, University of Michigan
Please show up and show your support. And buy Brigitte's book. And visit her site, American Congress for Truth.

Thanks. I've been waiting for you to post this.
I guess we'll soon see just how committed to "civil rights" the President of Michigan IS, eh?
(btw, when is that clueless chick gonna be fired?)

Gee, where are all of the outraged "moderate" Muzlums who don't believe in this brand of "extremism"?
Where are the press conferences from CAIR condemning these threats?
Where is CAIR and their support of her right to free speech?
Where are all the imams and the interfaith religious leaders (priests and rabbis) who attended the phony U.S. Airways, "six imams press conference" last week in solidarity affirming their right to free speech and condemnation of profiling?
Where is the LIBERAL lamestream media reporting on this?
Where are all of the federal investigations into these intimidation tactics and death threats?
Where are all of the phony LIBRAL politicians and Jesse Jerkson who condemned U.S. Airways for doing their job but who are silent when it comes to this?
Wanna bet the University of Michigan will not provide security for her?
Wanna bet the University of Michigan will import rabble rousers and thugs to shout her down the way the Minutemen founder was attacked on stage at Columbia?
It's obvious that these phony politicians will abandon us in our fight for survival (the LIBERALS want us defeated), so we must push-back at the grass roots level and NEVER let the Muzlum barbarians win.
Ostracize them whenever possible.
Boycott their businesses.
Make the feel unwelcome wherever you encounter them.
Use the law (the way they do) to turn the tables on them and gain the upper hand in keeping them in their place.
Educate your friends and relatives about what islam is truly about.
Educate your friends and relatives about Mohammad and how evil that subhuman savage was.

Thank you, Debbie, for posting this! I too am a graduate of U of M Ann Arbor but will unfortunately be unable to attend as I now live out of state. However, I have contributed to Ms. Gabriel’s courageous effort to expose lies and hatred in the best way I know how given my situation.
1). Wrote a letter of protest to U of M President Mary Sue Coleman and
2). Purchased Ms. Gabriel’s newest book: ‘Why They Hate’
May God protect her from the evil, 'brown-shirted' Islamofascists!

I heard Ms. Gabriel on the radio today. Dynamic, articulate, and very knowledgeable are all adjectives I would definitely use to describe her. I live about 30 minutes from AA (My husband and I are both UM grads) and would love to go see her. However, the weather is awful. Icey snow and the roads are terrible. I don't know if I can make it in time, given other commitments. (I have 6 children.) But I am going to try and bring atleast my older two boys.
She deserves to be heard. I hope that as many people as possible brave the conditions and come hear her speak. I'll be watching your blog to read reactions if I don't make it out myself.

You know how the Muslims deal with the non-Muslims?
Do you remember how Rabbi Meir Kahane died?
I can't put it all in writing in this small space, but you all know how Islam deals with those who dare object to its evil teachings.
After 14 centuries of Islamic barbarism you should know by now.
Do not be afraid to speak up.
The first way of dealing with the Muslims is to confront them with words before using weapons which inevitably -sooner or later- we are going to have recourse to them to defend our civilization.

I attended Brigitte Gabriel’s lecture at the University of Michigan on the evening of December 4th. Everything went great. It was a good crowd: over 300 people, which filled the lecture hall. She thanked everyone for coming in spite of the snow, joking that instead of laying out the "red" carpet for her, we laid out a "white" carpet! Her lecture was riveting. She spoke about how Lebanon has fallen apart under Muslim rule, and how the Israelis protected the Christian Lebanese from the Muslims during the fighting. The only incident that might be considered a “protest” was during the question and answer period. Someone asked, “Why are you going around spreading hate blah blah blah….” Brigitte gave a good response, explaining that she is only spreading the truth, and that hate is defined by the Muslims teaching their children that Jews are nothing more than apes, etc. She got a standing ovation for her response!

JoePa:
Thank you very much for your reassuring, first hand account of Brigitte Gabriel's lecture at Angel Hall last night. I live too far away to have attended in her well deserved support and must admit to having been nervously awaiting this favorable outcome. Your account of her very apt response to the moronic charge of hate spreading by a would-be audience detractor also brought a real smile of satisfaction to my face! This troubled world needs more courageous truth-spreaders like Ms. Gabriel!

So let me get this straight.
In spite of all the speculation, rumor etc. there were NO attempts to forcibly prevent this lecture by Muslim students.
THE EVENT WAS A SUCCESS BECAUSE THE ORGANIZER, MY FRIEND LINDA, DID A PHENOMENAL JOB IN HIRING A GREAT SECURITY FIRM IN TOWN AND DID NOT RELY ON THE WIMPY, LIBERAL UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN CAMPUS POLICE. IN ADDITION, LINDA DID A GREAT JOB OF PR AND GOT STANDING ROOM ONLY OF MOSTLY SUPPORTERS OF BRIGITTE AND THOSE WHO WANTED TO HEAR HER. FINALLY, BECAUSE WE EXPOSED THIS (FOX NEWS' O'REILLY SENT CAMERAS, ETC.), THEY BACKED DOWN. THEY DON'T WANT TO LOOK BAD. IT'S ALL ABOUT PR, BABY.

Debbie,
Thanks for your support and for the support of your readers. The University took the security threat seriously and the event ran smoothly and safely. There was a great turnout and it was wonderful change to see friendly community members in the audience in place of the usual Hamas and Hizbollah supporters.
below is a link to the University newspaper's coverage of the event:
