Falling on deaf ears

Having read Ms. Gabriel's book, and very moved by it, I cannot understand how anyone can call her an Islamophobe.

What she went through as a child is something that no person in the world should have to go through; that she and her family survived this vile torture is a testament to their great faith that God was watching over them. It often takes something traumatic like this for people to realise that they had been fed lies, in this case, lies about Jews, Israelis and Israel.

She is passionate to the point of anger---- angry because all the warnings she and others have given about radical Islam have largely been ignored. This is not being Islamophobic----it is, however, showing the world great love with a warning that it had better wake up and listen, and realise that radical Islam is alive and well, a sleeping giant bent on ruling the world.
