This guy, Kamil Saleem, has been on the Christian Right lecture circuit for years now, with his shtick about being a former terrorist who found Christ, a recruiter for Al Qeda, a lieutenant for Saddam, blah blah. Saleem claims he has secret knowledge of the ins and outs of the radical Muslim movement, which he shares with the FBI. By virtue of this knowledge, Saleem can somehow tell that Obama is well on his way to establishing a Caliph right here in the USA.

As this goober shares a stage with our would-be veep Ryan (and Romney in a video link), and wows his gullible audience, there is a problem: his story is a bunch of hooey!

Social Conservatives Cheer Islamic ‘Ex-Terrorist’ Huckster At Values Voter Summit | TPM2012

Saleem spent 10 years working for Robertson and Dobson in various capacities, before hitting on the idea for his "former terrorist" persona, and started making a living on the Christian Whacko rubber chicken circuit. He was exposed as a fraud in 2008, along with a couple other guys running the same scam, but I guess the news is slow to penetrate the thick skulls of his willing-dupe hosts.

Who ya gonna believe, Saleem, or the lyin' MSM?

Ryan was there, but Romney too? The way things are going for them, pretty clear they at least need to hang on to the most nutty group of followers. They gotta have some people to put on camera, but let them talk, now that's just crazy.

Mr. Steal your pension and load you with debt Romney and Mr.Lyin Ryan are throwing all the stuff at the fall and hoping something sticks.

The Pres. is showing why we need to re-elect him.

The Repub. party wants to destroy our country under a moutain of debt. The wars that they want to get into over oil. When you have a bunch of Billionares supporting a far right wing agenda this is the choice you get.
The Repub. party under Mr.Steal your pension and load you with debt Romney have moved closer to Fascism. They are now hurting the standing of our country in the outside world. All to get the Pres. out of office.
