The Right Christian War Against Truth and Tolerance.

Recently there was a lecture at the Air Force Academy. Three former Muslim terrorists spoke about how they and other Muslims tried to kill Americans and other Western influences. Until they were saved and turned their life around through Jesus. They say that Muslims must be killed or converted away from their hate-filled false religion.

At no time was it disclosed the men were frauds. They were actually Christian evangelists on a mission against Islam.

Chris Hedges:

Walid Shoebat, Kamal Saleem and Zachariah Anani are the three stooges of the Christian right. These self-described former Muslim terrorists are regularly trotted out at Christian colleges—a few days ago they were at the Air Force Academy—to spew racist filth about Islam on behalf of groups such as Focus on the Family. It is a clever tactic. Curly, Larry and Mo, who all say they are born-again Christians, engage in hate speech and assure us it comes from personal experience. They tell their audiences that the only way to deal with one-fifth of the world’s population is by converting or eradicating all Muslims. Their cant is broadcast regularly on Fox News, including the Bill O’Reilly and Neil Cavuto shows, as well as on numerous Christian radio and television programs. Shoebat, who has written a book called “Why We Want to Kill You,” promises in his lectures to explain the numerous similarities between radical Muslims and the Nazis, how “Muslim terrorists” invaded America 30 years ago and how “perseverance, recruitment and hate” have fueled attacks by Muslims.

I first saw this in an article in the New York Times:

The three will be paid a total of $13,000 for their appearance, some of it from private donors, said Maj. Brett Ashworth, a spokesman for the academy.

The three were invited because “they offered a unique perspective from inside terrorism,” Major Ashworth said. The conference is to result in a report on methods to combat terrorism that will be sent to the Pentagon, members of Congress and other influential officials, he added.

Members of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, a group suing the federal government to combat what it calls creeping evangelism in the armed forces, said it was typical of the Air Force Academy to invite born-again Christians to address cadets on terrorism rather than experts who could teach students about the Middle East.

From a real citizen journalist on the Middle East:

Walid Shoebat, author of Why We Want to Kill You has built a lucrative speaking career by manipulating the fears and whipping up hatred between Jews and Muslims and he claims to be a former Islamic terrorist who has converted to Christianity.

"Walid's entire biography is a manufactured fabrication. His handlers have taken one point and have twisted it and built up a fictional story."

Walid's relatives aren’t the only one's doubting his integrity, Rev. Alex Awad, president of the Council of Evangelical Churches in Palestine, has denied large portions of Walid's spin also.

In a letter answering allegations made by Shoebat, Awad shows problems with his timeline and his poor knowledge of the Christian leaders in Palestine. “We urge God’s people everywhere not to jump on this sensational bandwagon,” said Awad. “Christians are called by God to prayerfully use the gift of discernment.”

These men were frauds and high ranking members of the Air Force Academy were taken in or didn't care. The Air Force Academy has become the center of the evangelistic takeover of our military as I have mentioned recently before, like here, where I mainly urged people to read this.

I almost entered the Air Force. I actually took the first semester of Air Force ROTC at Michigan State University. One of my best friends in college, Tom Hurley, did enter through AFROTC.
