Product Description
They Must Be Stopped is New York Times bestselling author Brigitte Gabriel’s warning to the world: We can no longer ignore the growth of radical Islam--we must act soon, and powerfully. Gabriel challenges our western and politically-correct notions about Islam, demonstrating why radical Islam is so deadly and how we can halt its progress. Brigitte Gabriel speaks her mind: *Fundamentalist Islam is a religion rooted in 7th century teachings that are fundamentally opposed to democracy and equality. *Radical Islamists are utterly contemptuous of all “infidels” (non-Muslims) and regard them as enemies worthy of death. *Madrassas in America are increasing in number, and they are just one part of a growing radical Islamic army on US soil. *Radical Islam exploits the US legal system and America’s protection of religion to spread its hatred for western values. *America must organize a unified voice that says “enough” to political correctness, and demands that government officials and elected representatives do whatever is necessary to protect us. Brigitte Gabriel has fearlessly faced down critics, death threats, and political correctness, and is one of the most sought after terrorism experts in the world. They Must Be Stopped is her clarion call to action. Gabriel thoroughly addresses the historical and religious basis of radical Islam, its frightening encroachment into societies around the world, and its abuses of democracy in the name of religion.

 Enlightening November 18, 2008

Probably the most frightening and yet enlightening books I have ever read. Gabriel does not hold back by presenting the facts as they are and dispels many myths behind Islamism. She also provides some interesting and valid reasons to curb radical Islam. This is definitely a book everyone should read.

The perfect sequel to her first book. She continues with more proof why we must stop Islamofascism. She must be listened to before it is too late!

Brigette Gabriel should be required reading by anyone who values our way of life and the country we have. She is a recognized authority on the very real danger the entire western world has facing us. We better wake up.
 A nice book for people who hate Muslims October 21, 2008

It is unfortunate that unqualified people like this author can call themselves terrorism experts and be able to say what they want in a book and get paid for it. That is the world we live in and we must live with it. I read this book and it was basically everything we have already heard repackaged with a new title. She again goes on the attack against Muslims and Arabs and tries to hide her intentions by saying Radical Islam when she really means Islam in general. Brothers and sisters, if you praise this woman and give her credit, you are giving credit to hate speech. The intolerance she preaches is what leads to more hate crimes against innocent Muslims who may abhor terrorism. She once called Arabs and Muslims barbarians and was later forced to apologize for it. Her true colors show up in this book once again.
The thing that I remember most is from the first few chapters of the book. Chapter one, Islam 101, is like a tornado that whips you into a frenzy to hate everything that Islam stands for. The next chapter was so ridiculous; I had to jot down a few things on paper. She talks about the Prophet Muhammad and his migration from Mecca to Medina. She says he went to Yathrib, which is the old name of the city, and he did so "in the hope of recruiting more followers." This is not true. The Prophet preached peacefully in Mecca for 13 years and when he finally left, it was because he was forced to leave because the persecution of Muslims had reached an unbearable level and the Prophets fellow Quraish decided to murder him. The Prophet himself did not want to leave the city of his birth, but he had no choice. This is according to every Muslims and Non-Muslim historian in the world and you can check this on any website. It is interesting how she overlooks this fact but repeatedly talks about how Jews were exiled from Medina. She never once brings up the fact that the Jews were only kicked out after they were found guilty, and they admitted it themselves, of committing treason. And I also wish more people would research why the Jews were in Medina in the first place. It was the only city in the Arabian Peninsula at the time that Jews were located in. Could it have to do with the fact that they were waiting for a Prophet to come?
She then goes on to say that after he migrated, "it was at this point that Muhammad and his men began to fight...and begin 1000 years of Islamic terrorism and domination." I don't know where to start with this one. How can she call herself an expert with stupid generalizations like this? She goes over the Battle of Badr in two small paragraphs and neglects to mention that it was 300 Muslims fighting 1000 fully equipped Meccan soldiers. The Muslims were fighting for their lives as they were on the verge of extinction. To call them terrorists is to show your one sided biased view. I imagine she would also call the Bosnian women terrorists who fought the Serbs when they were being raped and executed in the 90's. We all know her position on Palestinians. Israel could demolish a Palestinian home, steal his personal belongings, imprison his family, rape his wife, and if he picks up a rock to throw it at the Israeli, she would call him a terrorist.
The last thing I remember which was completely untrue was when she talked about the Jews and Christians paying the jizya or tax. She said they paid it at humiliating public ceremonies where the beard of a Jew or a Christian was grabbed and they were slapped behind their ears. I checked the reference on this and with such details, I expected to at least find it in a weak Hadith, but it comes from Kitab al-Wajih fi-fiqh Madhab al-Imam Shafi. I have read on al-Imam al-Shafi and the only thing he ever said about al-Jizya was that non-Muslims were to pay 1 dinar of gold per year and there were exemptions for poor people, handicapped people, females, children, and monks. She also neglects to mention that all the Hadiths state that non-Muslims were guaranteed protection for paying and they did not have to pay the Zakat that Muslims were forced to pay. She obviously does not remind us that the terrorist Muslims did not kill the Christians or Jews when they did not pay the tax either, but only put them in jail. There are more things that I can say, but I think you should have gotten the picture by now. Please use your good judgment and don't just follow or agree with what people say. You should check whatever you read; even what I just wrote and I appreciate Amazon allowing us to make these comments.

Bridgett Gabriel tells it like it is. If you thought you were beyond being shocked about what has and is going on in this country, this book will change your mind. "They Must Be Stopped," should be read by every American who loves this country. If you hate political correctness, this book is for you. I urge you to read this book. You will not be able to put it down.
