商品簡介
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. Lebanon was the only Christian influenced country in the Middle East, and the Lebanese Civil War was the first front in what has become the worldwide jihad of fundamentalist Islam against non-Muslim people. Gabriel's family lived in an underground bomb shelter for seven years without electricity, reduced to boiling grass to survive. Because They Hate is a political wake-up call told through a very personal memoir frame. Fiercely articulate and passionately committed, Gabriel outlines the history, social movements, and religious divisions that have led to this critical historical conflict. Politically conservative and a hawk on international policy, she also points out mistakes the west has made in consistently underestimating the single-mindedness with which fundamentalist Islam has pursued its goals over the past thirty years.
