Saleem talks terrorism with church, GOP groups

A former Muslim terrorist and his wife warned of the growing threat of Islamic Jihad in America at the Sept. 14 meeting of the Sarah Palin Republican Women’s Club in Culpeper and the Nov. 2 evening service at Novum Baptist Church.

Kamal Saleem said he was trained as a terrorist and came to America to evangelize, converting many people to Islam.

“At seven years old I was studying how we were going to conquer America,” Saleem said.

His life changed in 1985 when his car was blindsided by an 18-wheeler. Saleem was ejected, landing on his neck. At the scene, he met three Christian men who became “the word of the living God on earth.”

Showing unconditional love to Saleem, they also prayed over him. “As they loved me,” he said, “I was thinking the other way around. I had to finish them off. We left nothing behind.”

Confused and upon his return home, Saleem recalled falling to his knees calling to Allah, struggling with his faith. He says he heard a voice; God was calling him by name. 

Today Saleem is an ordained minister, admitting, “I would have never thought that of myself.”

He and his wife, also an ordained minister, teach worldwide about what they call Islam’s true culture and agenda.

Mike Sharman, a member at Novum Baptist, met Saleem four years ago in Colorado at a National Day of Prayer event.

During Saleem’s message, he intermittently showed clips that gave statistics about Islam and showed men, women and children learning terrorist tactics in the U.S. Saleem described his first mission to Israel at 7 years old, followed by his role in the civil war in Lebanon — killing and fighting against the Christians.

He described how he fought in the Syrian army and learned to shoot Russian jets and bombers. In Europe, he said, “We learned culture Jihad and came to America to destroy America. ... Khadafi and Sadam were on my resume.”

“When a nation loses its morality, they are a nation ready to be invaded by another culture,” Saleem warned.

“We came to change your culture. How does that happen? Slowly. The way that Islam is taking over is by population and multiplication.”

Saleem explained that culture Jihad is often directed at a poor neighborhood and its children. Prisons are another resource to convert Americans to Islam.

“The moment they graduated from prison, we sent them to assault camp,” Saleem said. “They were filled with hate.”

Despite the dire warning, Saleem maintains that culture Jihad is not an unstoppable force.

“We have God on our side,” he said. “Last year over 6 million Muslims came to Christ. Over 23,000 Muslims that live in America came to Christ.

“When you start reaching out to them and befriending them, when you start praying for the Muslims, the God of Heaven and Earth starts moving. We share the truth.”

Because of threats, the couple must live underground and have moved twice this year. They continue to speak and teach through Koome Ministries, a nonprofit organization they founded in 2006.

“When we don’t minister to these people, someone else will,” said Saleem. “God has brought you the harvest. The harvest is here, 9 million people.”
