Alan Grayson (Democrat Florida)

When asked whether Americans should "resist Muslims who want to seek political office in this nation," Brigitte Gabriel said:

"Absolutely. If a Muslim who has -- who is -- a practicing Muslim who believes the word of the Koran to be the word of Allah, who abides by Islam, who goes to mosque and prays every Friday, who prays five times a day -- this practicing Muslim, who believes in the teachings of the Koran, cannot be a loyal citizen to the United States of America."

Brigitte Gabriel, Head of Anti-Islam Hate Group ACT, Keynote Speaker at Florida Emerald Coast Tea Party Rally Via Al-Jazeerah: Cross-Cultural Understanding News, July 26, 2010

“Islam is not a religion… the Quran is a book that calls for hatred, that calls for violence, for murder, for terrorism, for war, and submission…We should also stop pretending that Islam is a religion…the right to religious freedom should not apply to Islam.

Quote by Geert Wilders from article Update: Freedumb of Speech Summit-Defenders of Delusion Via Loonwatch by Garibaldi April 27,2009

Haiti gets billions for its catastrophic earthquake while Pakistan for its catastrophic flooding only gets millions Is it donor fatigue ?
Is it poor media coverage Is it Islamophobia?
America willing to spending hundreds of millions attacking Pakistani civilians attacking wedding parties with Drones while spending billions on the war in Afghanistan and Iraq - by the way did they shut down the so-called Emerald City the luxurious US civilian base and embassy in Baghdad.
And President Obama last week requested 800 Billion to refurbish a few thousand Nuclear weapons. Couldn't he just dump them doesn't the USA have enough Nukes -
So why couldn't Obama pledge even a measly 80 Billion to Pakistan to meet all its present needs and then for recovery costs.
Obama tell the Pentagon they are only getting 720 Billion
Maybe making such a large pledge would go a long way to prove that the American people and its government don't hate all Muslims .
With the pledge Obama should also commit himself to avoid killing innocent civilians as much as possible.
Odd how Americans or at least those at Fox News make jokes about so called collateral damage -no these are people and it is a tragedy every time an innocent civilian or non-combatant is killed.
These are now a mountain of corpses in Iraq 1 million three hundred thousand dead .
What if the US media had shown or might begin to show not just US casualties but also non-Comatants injuried or killed

Cenk Uygur (host of The Young Turks) filling in for Ed Schultz on MSNBC talks to Congressman Alan Grayson (D-FL) on why 18% of Americans believe president Obama is a Muslim and 70% of Americans have an issue with a proposed Islamic cultural center near ground zero.

another Islamophobe chimes in on the imaginary American Muslim stealth Jihadists conspiracy to take over America and all other Western Nations.
Brigitte Gabriel is an outspoken fear mongering Islamophobe. She is an immigrant from Lebanon and she is a Christian. She is the leading propagandists for rewriting the history of the civil war in Lebanon.
She doesn't bother to explain that her family was part of the terrorist Phalange Party which was a Christian Fascist Party and used Death Squads ( CIA Inspired)against any vocal opposition .
It was the Phalange who began the civil war in their attempt to continue their iron fist rule as a minority over a majority which included Muslims and Christians who were in favor of a real democracy

Welcome to ACT for America
October 08, 2007 4 min video introduction to ACT for America by Brigitte Gabriel.

There is a more indepth look at Brigitte Gabriel and her organization "ACT!For America" at Loonwatch.com

ACT! for America is better known as Hate! for America Posted on 20 April 2010 by Garibaldi at Loonwatch

ACT! for America has a problem. Its first problem is that it was founded by Brigitte Gabriel. Yes, the same Brigitte Gabriel the New York Times called a “radical Islamophobe” and who in the past has made statements like “Arabs have no soul,” and “Arabs are barbarians.” She might be novel eye candy for some (which I’m guessing is the reason Bill Maher had her on his show) but it is clear that Brigitte Gabriel is a whacked out fundamentalist with a seething rage against Muslims and a determination on the one hand to destroy Islam and on the other to make as much profit in the process.

The other problem with ACT! is that it is an organization filled with the types of people we see at Tea Party rallies. You know the ones who dress up in late 18th century regalia a la George Washington or carry around posters about Obama being a Kenyan, or Hitler, or Joker or a Marxist Mooslim anti-Christ coming to change America from a Christian nation into the Soviet Union.

The ACT! for America scheme essentially boils down to an organization masquerading as a “defender of Western Civilization” akin to the claims of other Islamophobes such as Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller. They have a binary view of the world, the Bush mantra of “you’re either with us or against us.”

Mr Islam Answers Back at Youtube takes on Brigitte Gabriel and John Hagee
Note dubious quality of video need to turn up the volume on video.

Brigitte Gabriel argues that the West is in danger of being destroyed or radically changed by the Muslim Jihadists in Europe and America not just those Muslims outside so called Western Civilization.

John Hagee & Brigitte Gabriel on Islam: REFUTED Part1

MrIslamAnswersback | February 20, 2008

The lies and mis-information of Brigitte Gabriel Christian Islamophobe and John Hagee who is a Christian Zionist are refuted .

Bill O'Reilly and Karl Rove of course argue against the Ground Zero Mosque and claim that to do so it is not anti-Islam
Yet they ignore the fact that there have been protests against Mosques in a few places already California, Kentucky ,Tennessee , Texas, Brooklyn New York , Michigan .

Bill O'Reilly and Karl Rove discuss a Ground Zero Mosque August 18, 2010

Dennis Miller the Uberconservative makes fun of liberals , Democrats, Obama and Muslims- this is not really joking since these are his true beliefs and so he's as funny as Michael Savage or Limbaugh or rodeo clown Glenn Beck-
Miller's racism includes Arabs, Muslims and ill-legal immigrants and legal immigrants who happen to be Latino/Hispanic though his racist stereotyping is a call to hate all Latino /Hispanic immigrants Arabs Muslims.
So burn any crosses lately Dennis ???

Right wing media wrong about the insensitivity of building a Mosque at Ground Zero would be like a Japanese cultural center in Hawaii.
By the way there is a Japanese culture center in Honolulu Hawaii the same Hawaii which had been attacked by the Japanese in 1941.

Brigitte Gabriel, Head of Anti-Islam Hate Group ACT, Keynote Speaker at Florida Emerald Coast Tea Party Rally Via Al-Jazeerah: Cross-Cultural Understanding News, July 26, 2010

Fla. U.S. Senate Hopeful Not to Attend Anti-Islam Rally Rally keynote speaker says she would bar Muslims from public office

CAIR Asks Fla. U.S. Senate Hopeful Not to Attend Anti-Islam Rally Rally keynote speaker says she would bar Muslims from public office

CAIR, WASHINGTON, D.C.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today called on Florida GOP U.S. Senate candidate Marco Rubio not to accept an invitation to take part in an August 21 Tea Party rally featuring an extremist anti-Islam keynote speaker who has stated that Muslims should not be allowed to hold public office, that an American Muslim "cannot be a loyal citizen" and that Islam is the "real enemy."

Emerald Coast Tea Party Patriots invited Brigitte Gabriel, the head of the anti-Islam hate group ACT! for America, to be the keynote speaker at its "U.S. Constitution Freedom Rally" on August 21 in Fort Walton Beach, Fla. Rubio is listed on a rally flyer as "invited waiting for confirmation."

Last week, CAIR asked the group to drop Gabriel as a speaker because of her hate-filled views.

The Washington-based Muslim civil rights and advocacy group notes that the Tea Party Patriots web site currently features a blog post attacking "Muslim Family Day" September 12 at the Six Flags theme parks. The writer states that the "closest parallel to Islam is the Ku Klux Klan. . .stop the Muslim day -- They are not Americans."

Yesterday, CAIR called for an educational initiative by the American Muslim community to respond to a Florida church's planned "International Burn a Koran Day" on September 11. CAIR says the Quran burning and growing opposition to American mosques are evidence of the nationwide growth of anti-Islam sentiment promoted by hate groups like ACT! for America and Stop the Islamization of America (SIOA).

"We ask Mr. Rubio not to lend legitimacy to this hate rally and to demonstrate through his actions that the Republican Party will not seek to benefit from the rising level of Islamophobia in our society," CAIR-Tampa Communications Director Ramzy Kiliç. "Since the rally organizers obviously believe a hate-monger is an appropriate keynote speaker, we ask all the elected officials and candidates listed on the event flyer to cancel their appearances."

Hooper noted that along with her stated desire to have Muslims barred from public office, Gabriel has also claimed that Arabs "have no soul" and that Muslims worship "something they call 'Allah,' which is very different from the God we believe [in]."

Earlier this year, a person staffing an ACT! for America information table in Florida was caught on video bragging that he desecrated the Quran, Islam's revealed text, and urinates in the washing stations Muslims use to perform their ritual ablutions (wudu) for prayer.

Gabriel told the Australian Jewish News: "Every practising Muslim is a radical Muslim." She also claimed that "Islamo-fascism is a politically-correct word. . .it's the vehicle for Islam. . .Islam is the problem."

When asked whether Americans should "resist Muslims who want to seek political office in this nation," Gabriel said:

"Absolutely. If a Muslim who has -- who is -- a practicing Muslim who believes the word of the Koran to be the word of Allah, who abides by Islam, who goes to mosque and prays every Friday, who prays five times a day -- this practicing Muslim, who believes in the teachings of the Koran, cannot be a loyal citizen to the United States of America."
