Because They Hate: A Survivor of Islamic Terror Warns America is a book by Lebanese journalist and American Congress For Truth founder Brigitte Gabriel.
In the book Gabriel discusses her experiences as a Maronite Christian living in Lebanon during the civil war between Lebanese Christians and Muslims in the 1970s. She describes the story of her family and her childhood hiding in a bomb shelter as she witnessed her country destroyed by Islamists and intent of the triumph of Dar al-Islam.
She details her opinions that the inherent multiculturalist tolerance of the Lebanese Christians led to the Lebanon's ruin under the continuous attacks of Muslims determined to destroy the non-believer communities.
[edit] Introduction, first page, "Because they hate":
" Radical Islams war of world domination has been picking up momentum with its universal rallying cry of "Allahu Akbar" accompanying each act of terror and destruction. It first began after the Arab nations were artificially carved out after World War II settled into internal despondency under despots and monarchs appointed by the Allied powers. It slowly fermented through the 1950's and 1960's. By November 1979 it was well on its way when the Iranians took over the American embassy in Terhran.
But no one really noticed or cared.
I noticed when I was a ten-year-old girl in Lebanon, and Muslim rockets exploded in my bedroom on a November night four years before the American hostages were taken. With my life on the line, I really cared, while the rest of the world just watched. My problem was that I wasn't American, the Marines weren't coming to save me, and we Lebanese Christians — non-Muslim infidels — were being labeled the aggressors by the press. Muslims dominated and now control Lebanon. Christian infidels paid the price then; and for their indifference and shortcomings, infidels world wide are paying the price now..."
