About 500 people managed to squeeze into the room to see Brigitte
Gabriel’s keynote speech at the United Nations headquarters in New York
City on April 17th. It was a historic opportunity to speak directly to leaders
who have the power to put a stop to the systematic slaughter of
non-Muslims.
Brigitte gave an
impassioned speech, drawing from her own experiences growing up in
Lebanon. She urged the UN and its member states to recognize the horrors
being inflicted on Christians by the Islamic State and other radical
groups, while calling to action the thousands watching. "We must take action,"
she said. "As a nation if we can, as individuals if we must."
We must not close our
eyes to this modern day holocaust, as the massacre of Christians across
the Middle East is a perilous threat to our civilization as a whole.
