***12:12am Eastern update from reader who attended the speech below…all went well…***

Brigitte Gabriel, the brave and dynamic author of “Because They Hate,” is asking for help tonight as she prepares to speak on the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor campus. Jihadist sympathizers have put out a call to “give Gabriel a proper welcome.” We know what Lefty thugs mean by that. Take your pick: pies, salad dressing, fire alarms, physical disruptions.

If you are in the area, please go show your support. Jihad Watch and LGF have more.

Michigan-based Debbie Schlussel is on it.

Update from reader Joe:

Hi Michelle. I attended Brigitte Gabriel’s lecture at the University of Michigan on the evening of December 4th. Everything went great. It was a good crowd: over 300 people, which filled the lecture hall. Her lecture was riveting. She spoke about how Lebanon has fallen apart under Muslim rule, and how the Israelis protected the Christian Lebanese from the Muslims during the fighting. The only incident that might be considered a “protest” was during the question and answer period. Someone asked, “Why are you going around spreading hate blah blah blah….” Brigitte gave a good response, explaining that she is only spreading the truth, and that hate is defined by the Muslims teaching their children that Jews are nothing more than apes, etc. She got a standing ovation for her response!

Good to hear.
