All you need to know about Paul Ryan: He's sharing the stage w 'Kamal Saleem'

The website for the upcoming Values Voter Summit in DC, hosted by the Family Research Council, features Mitt Romney’s running mate side-by-side with “former terrorist” Kamal Saleem.

Saleem, whose real name is Khodor Shami, claims that he was Muslim Brotherhood operative who “came to the United States of America…to destroy this country,” saying that he crossed the Canadian border and “brought weapon caches right through cities.” Somewhere along the way he converted, got a job at Pat Robertson’s Christian Broadcasting Network, and became the favorite ex-Muslim of the Religious Right. As a result, he says his life is constantly in danger, and he is being pursued by foreign agents.

If you’re asking yourself why Saleem isn’t in jail as opposed to speaking at a conference with the likes of Paul Ryan, Michele Bachmann, Jerry Boykin, and Tony Perkins, it’s because Saleem is widely considered to be a fraud. But this begs a question.

I, for one, welcome an investigation by the proper authorities to ensure Paul Ryan’s safety and prevent Michele Bachmann from accidentally palling around with a terrorist. If Saleem is to be believed, that is.

You guys, the Secret Service is really dropping the ball on this one. They're really going to let Paul Ryan share the stage with a guy who has a 25 million dollar bounty on his head and is in constant danger because of his association with the Muslim Brotherhood, Al Qaeda, Saddam Hussein's agents, Hezbollah, Hamas, the PLO, Gadhaffi, the Mujahideen, and more. Really? I mean, really, who actually thinks that this guy is telling the truth anyway? Then again, he is sharing a stage with Paul Ryan...
