Brigitte Gabriel Exposes the Shocking Truth About Islamic History – And Its Terrifying Legacy in America

In a bold and chilling exposé, Brigitte Gabriel, a Lebanese-born activist and author, delivered a staggering assessment of Islamic history in a recent video that has since gone viral. In the video, Gabriel, known for her outspoken views on radical Islam, meticulously breaks down over 1,400 years of Islamic history, drawing connections between past events and the current global situation. Her analysis highlights a pattern of violence, deception, and political maneuvering that she argues has shaped not just the Middle East but also the Western world. The implications for America are disturbing, to say the least.

Gabriel’s video, titled “Brigitte Gabriel Just Uncovered The Truth About Islamic History – And It’s Terrifying!”, is a call to action for Americans to understand the real consequences of a history that, she claims, has been conveniently ignored by Western educational institutions and media. As she paints a picture of Islamic conquests, oppression of minorities, and the rise of radical ideologies, Gabriel makes the case that what we are seeing today—from the rise of ISIS to the growing political influence of radical Islam in Europe and the United States—is a direct result of this legacy.

The History of Islam: From Prophet Muhammad to the Birth of the Caliphate

Gabriel begins her historical analysis with the birth of Islam in the 7th century. According to her, the story of Islam’s expansion is not merely about the spread of a new religion but the rise of a political ideology disguised as faith. She traces the origins of Islam back to Prophet Muhammad, who, in the early 600s, began preaching his revelations in Mecca. Initially, Muhammad struggled to gain followers, managing only to recruit his close family and friends. However, after twelve years of failure, Gabriel argues that Muhammad’s strategy shifted from preaching to conquest, particularly when he moved to Medina.

Gabriel claims that Muhammad’s relationship with the Jewish community in Medina was a turning point. Initially, he sought to recruit Jews, attempting to align his new religion with Judaism by incorporating elements of the Jewish faith. However, when the Jews refused to recognize Muhammad as the final prophet, Gabriel argues that the prophet turned against them, expelling them and resorting to violence. This moment, she contends, marks the transition from Islam as a purely spiritual movement to a political one that sought territorial conquest.

The Rise of the Caliphate and the Subjugation of Non-Muslims

Gabriel’s narrative takes a dark turn as she explains the rise of the Islamic Caliphate. She describes how, following Muhammad’s death, his successors expanded the empire through military conquest, taking control of vast territories in the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of Europe. As Islam spread, Gabriel argues that the Caliphate imposed brutal policies on non-Muslims, forcing Jews and Christians to either convert to Islam or pay a protection tax known as the jizya. The jizya allowed non-Muslims to live under Muslim rule, but with severe restrictions on their freedom and their religious practices.

“Jews and Christians were treated as second-class citizens,” Gabriel explains. “They couldn’t build new places of worship, they couldn’t publicly practice their faith, and they were forced to wear identifying clothing. In many areas, they had to pay a protection tax just to stay alive.”

Gabriel emphasizes that these practices were not isolated to the early days of Islam but persisted throughout the history of the Caliphate. She argues that the subjugation of non-Muslims became a central tenet of Islamic rule, and the concept of dhimmitude—the status of non-Muslims living under Islamic rule—became ingrained in Islamic governance.

The Crusades: A Response to Islamic Aggression

Gabriel also highlights the role of the Crusades in the history of Islam’s expansion. She contends that the Crusades were not an act of unprovoked aggression by the Christian West, but a direct response to centuries of Islamic expansion and the subjugation of Christians in the Holy Land. “The Crusaders were not launched because they wanted to convert Muslims or kill them,” Gabriel argues. “They were launched to liberate Jerusalem and to protect Christians who were being oppressed under Muslim rule.”

She points to the fact that, for nearly 100 years, Jerusalem was under Christian control following the First Crusade, only to be retaken by Saladin in the 12th century. Gabriel claims that the Crusades were part of a larger struggle for control of sacred territories and a response to the unchecked aggression of Islamic forces.

The Legacy of Radical Islam: From the Ottoman Empire to Modern Terrorism

Gabriel doesn’t stop at the historical events of the Crusades. She draws a direct line between the rise of radical Islam in the 20th and 21st centuries and the ideological foundations laid by the Caliphate. “By the time the Islamic Caliphate ended in 1924, the death toll from Islamic conquests and violence had reached an astronomical 270 million people,” Gabriel asserts. “These were not just military conquests; these were massacres, forced conversions, and brutal subjugation of entire populations.”

She argues that the collapse of the Ottoman Empire after World War I and the subsequent end of the Caliphate in 1924 marked a turning point in Islamic history. However, Gabriel warns that the rise of radical ideologies in the 20th century—particularly with the rise of the Wahhabi movement in Saudi Arabia and the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Iran in 1979—has led to the resurrection of the Islamic Caliphate in a new form.

The Global Threat of Radical Islam Today

Gabriel’s analysis takes a sharp focus on the present-day implications of Islamic radicalism. She points to the rise of groups like ISIS and Al-Qaeda, which, she argues, are not aberrations but the logical outcome of the historical trajectory of Islam. “ISIS did not create a new ideology,” Gabriel declares. “They resurrected the very same principles that were practiced during the early days of the Caliphate. They are following the example set by Prophet Muhammad himself.”

She warns that the West, particularly the United States, is still failing to recognize the true threat posed by radical Islam. Gabriel argues that the U.S. has been far too willing to engage in diplomatic talks with countries like Iran, which, according to her, are committed to the destruction of the West and the spread of their radical ideology. She also takes aim at the European Union, which she claims has allowed radical Islam to take root within its borders, contributing to the rise of terrorism and social unrest.

The Role of Oil and Geopolitics in the Resurgence of Islamism

One of Gabriel’s most controversial points is her argument about the role of oil in the resurgence of radical Islam. She claims that the discovery of oil in Saudi Arabia in the 20th century gave the Wahhabi movement the financial resources it needed to spread its ideology worldwide. “The West made a critical mistake by allowing Saudi Arabia to control the global oil supply,” Gabriel states. “This gave them the power to fund Islamic extremism and export their radical ideology around the world.”

Gabriel also connects the rise of radical Islam to the political and economic power shifts in the Middle East. She cites the 1979 Iranian Revolution, which she believes provided a powerful model for Islamist movements seeking to overthrow secular governments and replace them with Islamic rule.

The United States: A Wake-Up Call

In her conclusion, Gabriel argues that the United States is at a critical juncture. “We are facing an ideological war, not just with terrorism but with the very principles that Islam was built on,” she warns. “If we don’t confront this reality head-on, we risk losing the values that have made America great.”

Gabriel’s words serve as a stark reminder of the ongoing struggle between Western civilization and radical Islam. She calls on Americans to educate themselves about this history and to recognize the dangers posed by radical ideologies that continue to shape world events. For Gabriel, the fight is far from over—and the stakes could not be higher.

Conclusion: A Call to Action

Brigitte Gabriel’s deep dive into Islamic history serves as both an eye-opening look at the past and a warning for the future. As the global struggle between Islamism and the West intensifies, Gabriel urges Americans to be vigilant, informed, and proactive in defending their freedoms. The history she uncovers is not just ancient—it is shaping the world we live in today, and its impact on the future remains to be seen.
