Brigitte Gabriel lost her childhood to militant Islam. In 1975 she was ten years old and living in Southern Lebanon when militant Muslims from throughout the Middle East poured into her country and declared jihad against the Lebanese Christians, which became the first front in a worldwide jihad of fundamentalist Islam against non-Muslim peoples. For seven years, Brigitte and her parents lived in an underground bomb shelter, without running water or electricity and very little food. Because They Hate is a political wake-up call. Brigitte warns that the United States is threatened by fundamentalist Islamic theology in the same way Lebanon was––radical Islam will stop at nothing short of domination of all non-Muslim countries. Fiercely articulate and passionately committed, Gabriel tells her own story as well as outlines the history, social movements, and religious divisions that have led to this critical historical conflict.

Critic reviews

“Brigitte Gabriel eloquently reminds America what is truly at stake in this struggle against terrorism: our families, our way of life, and our hopes. Ms. Gabriel's personal account of her own experience is riveting, compelling and spellbinding. This is a must read for the entire American public . . . This book contains monumental revelations that will shock and disturb you. But it is also a story of an indomitable spirit--Brigitte's-- that will move you.” —Steve Emerson, author of American Jihad: The Terrorists Living Amongst Us, Executive Director, the Investigative Project on Terrorism

“A compelling and captivating personal story with a powerful lesson about threats to freedom in our time.” —R. James Woolsey, Director of Central Intelligence, 1993-95

“Brigitte Gabriel's story is at once intensely personal and possessing global significance . . . the story of her family and her childhood encapsulates the threat that faces the entire free world today. Brigitte Gabriel's words should be read, and studied carefully, by all the law enforcement and government officials of the West--as well as by everyone who values freedom.” —Robert Spencer, author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades)

Because They Hate should be read by all to understand radical Islam. Brigitte . . . . This book gives dire warning of what is to come if the democratic and Western world does not take responsible action to protect its people and societies. The United States is the primary target as Islamic Radicalism attempts to spread its worldwide dominance.” —Paul E. Vallely, Maj. General US Army (Ret.), FOX News Channel Military Analyst, and coauthor of Endgame: The Blueprint for Victory in the War on Terror

Extremely well informed & based, first hand, upon her own life's experiences. Having heard her speak on numerous occasions online this audiobook was a chance to unpack a lot of the extremely condensed information she rarely gets the time to impart during interviews.
The history, through which I have lived, is in many cases 'News to me', thanks to the biased and dumbed down reporting that I heard from during the last 40 plus years. Had our supposedly wonderful BBC been showing a fraction of this to the people in the UK, maybe we wouldn't have the apologists, activists & terrorists which now 'infest' some of our major cities. This has recently been brought to the fore by the protest marches through my city of Norwich. This did not look like the people of Norfolk that I have been born & brought up among & my parents & grandparents too.
The fervour & violence is something I only ever saw happen on TV & abroad. To be sure it has been here for a long time but now it's right here amongst us.
A real eye opener and 'call to arms' by Brigitte, I cannot fully explain how much this book has improved my perception of this complex subject & thank her from the bottom of my heart for such an inspiring publication.
The one biggest takeaway from this is that what I am seeing online, I rarely bother with TV/Radio news now, is an exact echo of the content here in this book, WRITTEN OVER 20 YEARS AGO!!!, so history repeats itself.
As our beloved Winston Churchill said to parliament in 48, 'Those who ignore the lessons of history are doomed to repeat the mistakes of others'. After the very first 9/11 outside Vienna we 'forgot' that lesson, it's come back to get us, better equipped and far more insidious than it was then. Thank you Brigitte.

A subject from the heart of Brigitte Gabriel, even more appropriate now than it was 20 plus years ago.

Since discovering Brigitte, I have listened to many interviews and podcasts with her. I knew elements of her story but to hear it, in detail, in her own beautiful, strong voice had me listening spellbound for the entire book. I both cried and felt empowered by this book. thanks to her for sharing her incredible story.
It must be horrible for her to have been talking about this for years ..... look where we are now in 2024.
