Ex-Terrorist Speaking At U.S. Air Force Academy threatened by Muslim Student

Three former terrorists,  Walid Shoebat,  Kamal Saleem and Zak Anani addressed cadets at the U.S. Air Force Academy,  during their annual political forum. These three men have dedicated their lives to speaking out against terrorism, and explaining the terrorist mindset:

             
 During the event a Jordanian college student, identified as Omar Khalifa of Metro International, approached Kamal Saleem and spoke to him in Arabic, “you are an enemy of Islam and you must die.” The incident was reported to Military Police, who  investigated Khalifa’s  threat.
 
“The men receive threats of this nature all of time and we take each one very seriously,” said Keith Davies, Executive Director of the Shoebat Foundation. “That is why each of the men live in seclusion.”
 
Numerous media outlets (New York Times, the Associated Press, The Colorado Springs Gazette, the Rocky Mountain News) did not report on the former terrorists’ message, but instead focused on the [inaccurate] media statements distributed by CAIR (Council for American Islamic Relations), in an all-out campaign to discredit the speakers credentials and background. 
 
“We have all been told that Islam has been hijacked by extremists,” said Walid Shoebat. “Yet CAIR, who professes to be ‘Moderate Muslims’ are the Three Ex Terrorists biggest critics, and pull out all stops to try and keep out voices from being heard.  I beg to ask the question; if CAIR is indeed moderate as they claim, then WHY are they not supporting our campaign against ‘extremists? If they are sincerely against the Fundamentalist Muslim agenda why do they oppose us?”
 
According to the Air Force Academy’s public affairs office CAIR spokesman, Ibrahim Hooper, contacted them numerous times criticizing the scheduling of the three men, and requesting an opportunity to have a CAIR representative share with cadets information about the Islamic faith.  The Academy informed Hooper that the event was not about religion, but about terrorism, and he denied CAIR’s request.

 Liberals use sneer quotes around the term “ex-terrorist” when referring to these three. No true blue terrorist worth his salt would ever consider converting to Christianity. Frankly, they would like them better if they hadn’t converted.  So the men are constantly having to defend their “terrorist creds”.

UPDATE:

In case you’re wondering about Kahlifa’s outfit, Metro International, Geoff checked it out:

Here’s their mission statement:

Metro International creates global citizens and inspires a peaceful world through one-of-a-kind programs in classrooms and communities.

. And here’s their take on the meeting (written beforehand):

As Tracy Snyder, Executive Director of Metro International points out, “Metro International’s delegation plays a special role in this Assembly by adding a critical international perspective to the student deliberations and discussions. Metro delegates enrich the conference with their various national and cultural perspectives, as well as their academic experience.”

And they’re sponsored by the State Department!!
