Brigitte Gabriel: spinning lies and tales

There is a front-page story about Brigitte Gabriel in the New York Times. Can you imagine a "detached" piece of an anti-Semite in the New York Times in which not one person who can rebut her stories and anthologies of lies is interviewed.  I had written about her before.  She is one person like Walid Shoebat and others who I prefer to not comment about at all.  I mean, they are part of a vulgar, crude, and hateful campaign that should be ignored.  They are not even independent operators.  They are tools in the hands of Zionist (Christian and Jewish) fanatical groups who intend to provoke Muslims and Arabs in the US to drag them into a political mud wrestling war in which the rules are set up by Zionist hoodlums.  These are people who write books in English and you hear them talk and they can't even finish one complete sentence in English.  Yes, I am accusing Zionists of a conspiracy to produce such vomiters of hate in the West.  I had written about this woman before, and I have even bothered to read her first book.  It is a collection of unrelated lies and fabrications.  For anyone like me who grew up in a civil war context, I will tell you her first big lie.  She claims that during the civil war in Lebanon she lived for seven long years in a bomb shelter.  As those of you who grew up in Lebanon, you know that people never stay in the bomb shelter for more than a few days because wars don't go on uninterruptedly but they go through periods of intense fighting, then lulls, then cease-fires then temporary peace and then more fighting and so on.  So this in itself is the biggest lie of the book. I have run into many liars from Lebanon, but her lies are by far the biggest ones.  Another major lie she peddles is this: she relates how is capable of educating Americans about fanatical Muslims like the Bin Ladenites because these were the same groups who drove her from her village in South Lebanon.  As is known, given her age, she lived in Lebanon during the years when Hizbullah, Al-Qa`idah, and other Muslim organizations did not exist and Islamists had no role.  This was during the glorious leftist and Arab nationalist secular era.  So if Gabriel wants to be consistent, she should be warning of a global communist movement that is bent on destroying the world because it was the communists and socialists who had actually fought the war on the other side in South Lebanon where she had lived (or where she claims she had lived because I now don't believe a word she says about anything).  Also, I wonder why the New York Times chose to publish this piece on International Women's Day.  Is that its way to honor women from the Middle East, I wonder?
