I
heard conservative Author and activist Brigitte Gabriel on a televised talk show and I grew
curious when she mentioned her latest book, Rise In Defense of Judeo-Christian
Values and Freedom. I learned that it’s now
available in public libraries but not that easy to obtain. The author stated the wait may be lengthy
since the left-leaning government protects the truth from Americans.
I waited a long two months for the book but it may be because it’s full
of facts and some chapters are difficult for a reader to digest in one sitting.
The author refers to
her childhood in Lebanon where, as a young Christian girl, she lived in fear of
bombs as she traveled from her shelter to school in an army tank. She
knows full well the transition from prosperity to captivity under the cruelty
of Isis. Her book, Rise, spells it all out for Americans. Terrorism
is here. It has infiltrated in our public school system, especially
colleges with Marxist ideology. Our young people are sucked into the lies
of romantic images of Sharia Law through social media,Hollywood and
activists who motivate young uneducated minds. Gabriel's book explains Muslim
practices of female mutilation, rape of women and even death in the name of
religion.
Gabriel exposes the
evils in our government and the lack of protection of our civil rights and
constitutional liberties, especially free speech. She is right; if you disagree with the liberals,
you are labeled a racist. She
quotes compelling facts that I never heard in the news and she explains
why. I liked the end of each chapter where Gabriel lists practical
suggestions for Americans to act on to protect our country from the
evil that has slowly permeated into our society.
My favorite quote from
her book is "America is not made up of immigrants. America is made
up of citizens." What makes America great is when people come to it
with good intentions to assimilate into our society and offer solid work ethics
and family values. This is a stark contrast to liberal lawmakers
trying to convince us to open our borders and allow anyone free entry without a
vetting process. Compassionate Americans who think we should allow anyone
entry into our country need to read this book.
Americans need to be
educated. We are warned. Now is the time to act before it's too
late.
