At Columbia University, Brigitte Gabriel, Founder of ACT, decries Islamic propaganda advocacy on American college campuses
At this critical juncture in America we need to counteract the constant barrage of Islamist propaganda, lies, distortions, and indoctrination, especially about Islam and the Middle East, being spoonfed to students on our college campuses. We need the truth!After arriving in the United States as a refugee, Brigitte Gabriel formed the American Congress for Truth to fight such propaganda.
For years as a child, she was indoctrinated with a steady diet of Islamic propaganda that passed for education. She saw firsthand the devastating effects of such propaganda upon her homeland of Lebanon. As she says:
"Everyday, American Congress for Truth (ACT) is on the front lines fighting for you in meeting with politicians, decision makers, speaking on college campuses and planning events to educate and inform the public about the threat of radical Muslim fundamentalists to world peace. We are committed to combating the global upsurge of hate and intolerance."Recently at Columbia University, Ms. Gabriel spoke to university students about academic freedom, or the lack thereof, on American college campuses. The talk, "Environments of Hate: Indoctrination in the Arab World and Propaganda Advocacy in America’s University Classrooms", given on March 6, 2005, was hosted by "Scholars for Peace in the Middle East" at their Conference on "Academic Integrity and the Middle East".
She is passionate that, in the name of tolerance, that the American values of free speech not be hijacked and used by radical Muslim fundamentalists to stifle academic freedom and debate. In response to many requests a video of the same speech can also be viewed online at Columbia University.
