From the Umayyad invasion of tours in 732 through the ISIS bombing of Paris just a few years ago, the West has faced a lot of violence from the religion of peace.

We are joined today by Brigitte Gabriel, author of They Must Be Stopped, Why We Must Defeat Radical Islam and How We Can Do It.

She will discuss her first hand account growing up in the midst of the Lebanese Civil War and the devastation that that religious ideology has wrought on her own life and those of her family and friends.

Then the mailbag, I'm Michael Knowles and this is the Michael Knowles show.

My guest today, Brigitte Gabriel, was born in Lebanon to a Maronite Christian family during the Lebanese Civil War Islamic militants destroyed her home and injured a 10 year old Brigitte.

She relates that she and her parents were forced to live underground in an 8 by 10 foot bomb shelter for seven years with that electricity, water, plumbing or very much food.

She had to crawl in roadside ditches to gather water while avoiding Muslim snipers. Eventually an explosion caused Brigitte and her family to become trapped in the shelter for two days before they were rescued by three Christian militifiers, one of whom was later killed by a landmine.

Her family was ultimately saved when the Israeli army invaded Lebanon in 1978. Brigitte runs Act for America, a group dedicated to fighting radical Islam.

For that effort, lefty groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center and the New York Times have condemned Brigitte as hateful and islamaphobic.

She is also the author of They Must Be Stopped, Why We Must Defeat Radical Islam and How We Can Do It. Brigitte, thank you for being here.

Oh, I'm so excited to be with you, Michael. What a great opportunity.

Islamophobia. Brigitte, I suppose in your case, that would be not just the irrational fear of having your head chopped off, the irrational fear of reality of being shot or bombed by the Islamic militants who ravaged your family and childhood and murdered most of your childhood friends. How irrational.

Are you an islamaphob?

I am not an islamaphob, but I do have a rational fear of terrorists who are threatening to blow us all up, who are committing terrorist attacks across the world, whether in Europe or in the United States.

I know what's at stake and as a terrorism analyst, I listen to chatter, I infiltrate Islamic and terrorist chatrooms, I know what they're talking.

And when you understand that you are dealing with an enemy bent on attacking you on killing as many of you as possible, your fear is justified.

But I do not let my fear stop me from doing whatever I have to do to protect our country and sound the alarm.

And as you alluded earlier, Michael, I mean, I was raised as a child, understanding what it's like to be raised in the majority Muslim Middle East as a minority Christian and the price I paid for that.
