We’re Drinking More Koolaid Than Jim Jones Could Ever Serve

Warning: This is a totally “PC inappropriate” book but it tells the real “inconvenient truth”. As a result, I love it and highly recommend it.

The author has “shoot to kill” signs all over her life: She is an Arab; a woman; a Christian; she’s anti- Islamic-terrorism; and pro-Israel. And to boot, she has founded and leads a massive conservative grassroots organization that combats at multi-levels (local, state, nationally, and internationally)  Islamic terrorism.  Above all, she knows her facts and isn’t afraid to use them and thus call out the ‘bullcrap’ that comes from those she opposes or more to the point, oppose her.

The truth is presented in many forms, not the least of which is wisdom. As an example, I share a sentence from her introduction to the book: “. . . the Right to exercise one’s opinion seems to end where the radical Left’s feelings begin.”

She makes no apologies about exposing how our enemies and jihadists view America (“as the epitome of Judeo-Christian exceptionalism”) and Americans as “infidels” whose “way of life” is seen “as a direct threat to theirs”. She calls out “Sharia law” as one that “builds on submission, discrimination, and brutality.”

In the process, she does not excuse the stupidity of our left-leaning politicians and the even the conservative ones that turn a blind eye to what is going on.  “We’ve got a worldwide epidemic of Islamic terror spreading across the globe like the plague, but leftist loons are more concerned about protecting feelings than protecting lives.”

Some chapters in the book cover: America as a Divided Nation; the Cost of Terror (with some incredible financial statistics); why the Peaceful Majority is Irrelevant; Weaponizing the Internet; Transformation through Immigration (“If we don’t openly accept millions of individuals who have no desire to embrace the language, culture, and values that made America the greatest country in the history of the world, we must be racists.”); Targeting the Innocent (about honor killings and FGM); Lamestream Media (“When the media aren’t blacking out coverage of stories they don’t like, they’re using misleading headlines.”); CAIR and the Terrorist Front-Scheme; the Leftist-Islamist Coalition (focusing on the ACLU and Linda Sarsour “If she’s a feminist, I’m a professional hockey player.”); Fake Hate; the Death of Free Speech (“Any religion that advocates killing another human being for simply offending you, is a religion stuck in the seventh century.”; and Operation Indoctrination (taking on our educational institutions).

Gabriel ends each chapter with advice on how each of us can “Rise Up and Act”. And her last chapter describes a detailed approach to “Activism for Our Nation”.

This is one of those books about which older conservative thinkers today would say, “If I can only get this into the hands of my children and grandchildren, they may be able to stem the tide of what looks like a chaotic cultural tsunami that has as its target the complete destruction of the American way of life.” And even for those who think this may be a good thing, the question remains whether or not you’re really aware of, and/or are prepared to accept, the alternative that is being promoted.

For the sake of your children and grandchildren, read the book, think about its content, and act accordingly.  Thank you, Brigitte for writing it.
