@room101: Passive aggressive behavior, is when you start recruiting others, in a subtle or not so subtle way, in your hateful quests.

For instance, instead of addressing me directly, you tell berangere about my issues. This is sophomoric behavior.

Use of terms like "He accuses any who disagree with him" is another indicator of passive aggressive behavior. This opinion is further enforced, when you say something like "The only ones that you haven’t judged is Muslims." Which of course is bullshit, starting with the use of the word "judged".

So, to re-iterate what I initially said:

Brigitte Gabriel, is a self-promoter, with a biography about as inflated as her Donald Trump's. She did not suffer the atrocities, she claims she did. She was never in a bomb shelter for 7 years. She was did not fear for her life from Muslims, where she grew up. The events that took place in her hometown, are very well documented. Her group was the "aggressor", not the other way around. The detention/torture jails in her town, are very well documented, a town that was under her group's control.

What I initially commented on, is the comparisons she made in her video:

So, I understand that Ms. Gabriel is quite adapt at making shit up, but it was a majority of the Germans and Japanese that supported the war efforts, not a minority. So, instead of accepting this simple historical fact, you argued that no stadium in Germany can hold a million people. Huh?

She also mis-quoted a PEW research report. I posted a link to the actual report, but you chose to ignore that. It's really simple. If 25% of Muslims in the West, support ISIS, and support suicide attacks, then how come we did not have 750,000 terrorist attacks in the USA? And that would be assuming that we only have 3M Muslims in the USA.

As to colonialism, the British, etc. This goes back to your strawman. You're attempt at sarcasm here, falls flat on its face, as you still don't realize what it means. Let me help you out a bit. You brought Khomeini into the discussion, and claimed that it all started out with him.

That's when I stepped in, and corrected you, because you seem to be ignorant of historical facts (after all, you are the one who supported Ms. Gabriel's WWII fantasies). If you want to open up the Khomeini can of worms, then you have to go back to what created Khomeini. Any 2nd grader can tell you, that it started out with the overthrow of Musaddegh in 1953 by MI6 and the CIA, to support BP's claims on Iranian oil. That's a statement of historical fact, and not hate.

Let's also examine your claims in regards to Lebanon's Maronites. You claim that I hate them, but you have no idea how laughable your claim is. I am simply setting the record straight, because you're lying. The Maronites (Eastern Catholics, in commune with Rome, since the 11th Century), have been the abusive party in Lebanon. Even as a minority (though the largest Christian group), they have constitutional right to the Presidency, The leadership of the Armed Forces, and control over both Military Intelligence and the Deuxieme Bureau (equivalent of MI5 and MI6, or the FBI and the CIA). In addition, the Christians of Lebanon had control of both the Parliament and the Council of Ministers, in a 6/5 formula.

Instead of using their power, to develop a more equitable situation for everyone in the country, they clung to power, and modeled their militia after the Hitler Youth. No, I am not simply tossing Hitler into the conversation. The leader of the Phalange Militia, was so impressed with the Hitler Youth, following the Berlin Olympics, that he modeled his own storm troopers, after the Hitler Youth.

Anyone who claims that Lebanese Christians were abused, is a plain liar (like Ms. Gabriel), or ignorant of the facts. I am sure that you, will now repeat your idiotic claim, that I hate Lebanon's Maronites. Which would be inaccurate. I did have that conversation (Lebanon's Christians culpability) with a couple of Maronite friends over lunch yesterday, at a new Lebanese restaurant, run by a former Phalange member, who ironically, had a Smith & Wesson in a hip holster, as he was standing behind the counter. No, we were not in Beirut. We were in a Seattle suburb, where open carry is legal. First time I see this. Not even in Texas.

Then again, perhaps the guy was nervous. Only a week ago, a Lebanese-American, Christian, was gunned down in front of his own house, in Oklahama, by a neighbor, who was screaming "ditry ayrabs, dirty moooslems". And I guess that was my final point: hate speech inspires people to do stupid shit.
