Saudi contributions to American universities number in the millions of dollars. How is it that people raised Baptist in good Baptist homes convert to radical Islam?

Not sure how the left will define this lying sack of @!$%#. Any intelligent American would recognize bull@!$%# when they hear it. Muslim indoctrination in our schools? Anyone who would believe that is certifiably insane or just stupid.

A lovely person:

Brigitte Gabriel is a notorious apologist for the fascist Phalange group, Kataeb, and the terrorist group, the South Lebanon Army (SLA), who were responsible for the Sabra and Shatila massacres that slaughtered 1700 to 2000 Palestinians (mostly women and chidren).

he answer, Brigitte has found her very own litte niche to settle within the lucrative business of Muslim-bashing. Her forte is to parlay her “otherness,” and so-called “insider knowledge of the Muslim world,” (the “I’ve been there, I know” line) into a cash cow. Meanwhile we are supposed to be duped into freaking out and running back to her for more “expert” advice brought to us from our loyal friend who ventures into the other side on our behalf.

Gabriel started two organizations, American Congress for Truth (ACT) and (she seems to be running out of ideas) Act! for America that receive plenty of funding and “donations” from the likes of the goonish Christians United for Israel and others. Maybe she thinks Americans are gullible or maybe she is a true hypocrite as Andre Gide said,

The true hypocrite is the one who ceases to perceive his deception, the one who lies with sincerity.

Other the attacking the messenger (author.) Can you repudiate the assertions she has made?

Yes. They are lies. She describes the kind of classes that have been in colleges for decades. I took a course in comparative religions and spent several months learning about Islam. I also learned about Buddhism, Taoism and Shintoism. The claim that children are being "indoctrinated" when they go to college because they learn about other cultures or faiths is what bigots believe. How many of the 75 Muslims arrested for allegedly being involved in terrorism attended American Colleges? How many took courses that changed them into radical muslims? I say none. Can you refute that? One has to consider the source and using her as a source about Islam would be like using David Duke as a source about black people or the President of Iran as a source about Israelis. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, she is paying high compliments to those in the Islamic faith who have similarly bigoted view about Christianity or Judaism. Can you support a single assertion she made? She certainly cannot.

Here is more of her bull@!$%#. She claims that "America has been infiltrated on all levels by radicals who wish to harm America,” she said. “They have infiltrated us at the C.I.A., at the F.B.I."", at the Pentagon, at the State Department." Ny Times 3/7/11. Does she have any proof? No more proof than Joe McCarthy had about communists in the same departments. She shamelessly makes money off of her bigotry; knowing she will have a willing bunch of morons willing to pay $75.00 to hear her lies.

gatoralum, here's the thing. First of all, she said that the courses she mentioned were given to 7th graders, not college students. A co-worker of mine who has school age children in public school verified that this was an issue around two years ago and there was a rather large outcry from parents concerning this.

Secondly, moving to the 'bird's-eye' view of the whole issue, it is evident to me what is going on here. We have Ahmadinejad calling for the destruction of Israel and all Jews in the world, and the "useful infidels" announcing "oh no, it was a mistranslation from Pharsi". We have violent, murderous rhetoric being hammered into children in the Gaza strip while "useful infidels" proclaim Hamas as freedom fighters. Islam is a religion of peace vs. Islam is a religion bent on world conquest at the point of a sword...depends on who you listen to. And the whole exercise is intended to keep good people off balance and disbelieving of the threat that permeates our world.

And the "Loonwatch" site you gave us the link for also does a write-up on Franklin Graham, and searches bring up articles denouncing any commentary that is anti-Muslim. I find nothing new or shocking about the link you provided, but is only normal dodge and stick.

As aRTiA said, never mind that she is passionate in her speaking (as one should be), but is she speaking the truth. You have not convinced me that she is lying.

Comment 4.4 deleted for violations of the CoH. Do not be disrespectful to posters. You can speak your piece, within reason, about the person in the news, but don't get personal with the people posting. You don't know my co-worker. And if my kid in 7th grade came home and told me they were making him play Muslim for three weeks, I'd yank him out of school that day.

Oh My!

gatoralum - why have you wandered into the gutter. You are clearly and intentionally violating the COH and indicating your inability to address the issue in a civilized manner.

Religion should be kept out of all public elementary schools. Teachers at that level have too much of an impact on students.

gatoralum, we can do this all day.

Just curious. Are you a Muslim convert? What gives such fire to your oppositional views? Saying someone is lying is not proof that they are lying. Apparently she has an audience. Do you? Do you have special and specific insight that contradicts what she says? Even loonwatch didn't contradict the content of her message. Stop ranting and discuss.

Or do you not care about the truth?

Tennessee is on to them. I have read before that the people and leaders are well aware of the strategies used by the Muslims to infiltrate society.

I want to add:

She mentions the separation of church and state but describes the opposite is occurring in connection with Islam.

Well, that's certainly off the wall.

I don't know. I think sitting around fearing or waiting for a horde of Ivy League Jihadists or, mobs of middle school Fundamentalist Muslims to plunder our shopping malls and pull all the tops off the parking meters downtown is akin to waiting for that flood of blood in the streets following the sunset of the AWB.

I think mainstream America these days is just terrified of its own buttocks and is spinning round in circles trying to see if its sneaking up on them. This just seems to be leaning awkwardly toward the side of hysteria. Americans do seem to be hysterical about one thing or the other every minute of the day in this stress monkey modern world.

Okay, once again, I issue the challenge that apparently, so far, has no takers. Is she speaking the truth? Did in fact a 7th grade class get the assignment to be pretend Muslims for 3 weeks? If so, that is clear violation of the 1st Ammendment, and the school should be censured for it.

Please consider this information:

It appears that Ms. Gabrielle is speaking the truth, but others may have taken the truth and expanded it to cover that which it does not cover.

And what of Saudi Arabian contributions to American universities?

    politics tends not to slaughter those of another opinion. Religion is that which people must pass in a vain attempt to reach God. Relationship is what those who have bowed the heart and knee in agreement with God, accepting the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, and having been born again to new life, walk in, in this world. You tend not to find them conducting religion or politics.
