— Community Meetings on Nov. 3 and 4 Will Gather Parents, Citizens
and Churches Concerned About Pro-Islam Textbooks in TN Schools —
The Tennessee Pastors Network (TNPN, www.tnpastors.net) and its president, Dale Walker, are supporting and coming alongside two events on Nov. 3 and 4 featuring former jihadist Kamal Saleem, who is visiting the Sparta, Tenn., area. There, over the past few weeks, parents and concerned citizens have been voicing their opinions about Islamic indoctrination in White County schools. Recently, the school board adopted a textbook that outlines Islam and the Muslim faith in more than 30 pages and merely glosses over Christianity.

Kamal Saleem is president of Koome Ministries. Born to a large Sunni Muslim family in the Middle East, Saleem was recruited by the Muslim Brotherhood at an early age and completed his first mission to Israel at the age of 7. In 1985, he was seriously injured in an automobile accident and Christian men aided Saleem at the accident scene and nurtured him back to health. These men demonstrated the unconditional, redemptive love of Christ, and since then, Saleem has become a man on a new mission as an Ambassador for Christ. His presentations now warn listeners about the truth regarding Islam.
