Dear Dr. Pipes:

Recalling a good lesson by our beloved fellow, the great woman Brigitte Gabriel ,that on Dec 05 2006 lectured at the Michigan University, precaution would have been properly suitable.

Madam Brigitte reported that her presentation at the University of Michigan went without a glitch, but how?

By knowing in advance that there was a huge Muslim call going out stating:" Muslims, Arabs, and their friends and allies should give Gabriel a proper welcome." Madam Gabriel took imperative precaution, as she says:

"...Credit goes to the alertness of the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and local and university police. Highly visible were 8 police officers, a K9 team, a personal body guard and a variety of well positioned TV cameras from a Fox news crew for Bill O'Reilly as well as local TV station and university TV crews..."

And she follows by citing:

"...So many conservative speakers and organizers assume that hopefully the students will behave, because we should have the right to free speech in our country. They show up usually with two police officers giving the enemy the benefit of the doubt. You cannot give your enemy the benefit of the doubt. You are to assume the worst and be prepared for it. And if it is going to take 8 police officers, a K9 team and a body guard for us to speak our views on college campuses and gain back the mind and soul of our youth, so be it...."

I'm sure that Madam Brigitte Gabriel's Model has reached its best and it is a must for masters, doctors and our heroes- like you- to be taken as a pattern.

Thank You.
