Brigitte Gabriel, a Christian Lebanese immigrant will be relaying her personal story, discussing the strategic importance of Israel to world security, and the ongoing threat of Islamic terror. Gabriel lost her country of birth to militant Muslims during the Lebanese Civil War (1975-1990). After her home was destroyed, her family hid in a bomb shelter for seven years without electricity, water or food. Their village turned to Israelis for help, which is how they stayed alive. In 1989 she immigated to the U.S.and started a television production and advertising company. After September 11, 2001, Gabriel founded the American Congress for Truth, a nonprofit dedicated to educating Americans about the threat of radical Islam to world peace and national security. She is the author of the book, Because They Hate: A Survivor of Islamic Terror Warns America and her new book, They Must Be Stopped, will be released in August.
