barenakedislam:…..so they trot out one of CAIR’s favorite ‘spokesChristians’ to demand an apology for allowing the highly-esteemed Kamal Saleem to speak at the breakfast about his long, hard journey from Muhammad to Jesus.
Kamal Saleem was trained as a youth to be an Islamic terrorist. After an auto accident he converted to Christianity. On Thursday, he was the Keynote speaker at the Independence Mayor's Prayer Breakfast at the Community of Christ Auditorium
Rev. Josef Walker’s letter to the editor of EXAMINER “Community is owed apology for Saleem’s speech”
Independence, MO —I am heartsick that our city was the site of a “prayer breakfast” that was manipulated into a forum for promoting fear and division in our nation.
Before today’s Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast, the hue and cry was to let Kamal Saleem come and speak – don’t pre-judge him or his message. Fair enough. Well, we did hear a little of Mr. Saleem’s personal testimony, but it was a footnote to his relentless assault on his former religion. There was little, if any, heartfelt reflection, but rather we were subjected to a carefully crafted speech – almost a textbook case – deliberately designed to leave the audience with the impression that Muslims as a whole were terrorists, murderers, wife-beaters, slave owners and “destroying our nation.”
{—} I trust that all of my neighbors who were subjected to Mr. Saleem’s obvious exaggerations will prayerfully reflect on his words and recognize that he was unfairly and inaccurately projecting his experiences and biases on all Muslims. As a community, we must ask the question: what next? First, I urge the Mayor’s committee to issue an apology to all our citizens. I assume the committee was duped by Mr. Saleem, but now they must clearly state that we do not tolerate or promote discrimination and racism. Read the rest on: barenakedislam
