48% OF THE MUSLIMS IN THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE
MUSLIMS FIRST AND AMERICANS
SECOND.
OUR PURPOSE IS TO CHANGE
THIS CULTURE BECAUSE THEY'RE
INFIDEL, AND WHAT THEY'RE
DOING IS NOT PLEASING TO
ALLAH, AND WE ARE THE
SOLDIER OF ALLAH, WHO WILL
MAKE THEM DO IT.
Reporter: CAMAL SALINE
WAS BORN IN LEBANON TO A
DEVOUT MUSLIM FAMILY.
HE REMEMBERS SITTING AT THE
KITCHEN TABLE WHILE HIS
MOTHER TAUGHT HIM ABOUT THE
KORAN.
SHE SAID, ONE DAY YOU WILL
DIE FOR THE STATE OF ISLAM.
SHE SAID, IF YOU KILL A JEW,
YOUR HAND WILL LIE BACK AND
THE HOST OF HEAVEN WILL
CELEBRATE WHAT YOU HAVE
DONE.
Reporter: CAMAL WAS
SEVEN WHEN HIS PARENTS SENT
HIM TO MUSLIM TRAINING CAMPS
TO LEARN TO USE WEAPONS AND
ENGAGE AND KILL THE ENEMY.
AND THEY WERE TAUGHT
ANOTHER, MORE SUBTLE FORM OF
JIHAD.
WE WERE TRAINED FOR
CULTURED JIHAD, WHICH IS
SHIFTING JIHAD.
IT IS THE JIHAD THAT WILL
COME INTO YOUR WORLD.
Reporter: BY HIS 20s,
CAMAL WAS PICKED TO PROMOTE
ISLAM.
THE LIBERTY THAT YOU HAVE
IN THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA IT IS ANTI ISLAM.
SO AMERICA MUST BE CHANGED.
SO I MOVED TO THE BIBLE BELT
SPECIFICALLY.
THE BIBLE BELT WAS THE
STRONGEST OF THE STRONGEST.
THAT'S WHERE THE ASTOUT
CHRISTIANS ARE.
AND I WANTED TO TAKE ON THE
BEST OF THE BEST.
BECAUSE I CONSIDERED MYSELF
AS THE SWORD OF ISLAM.
I THOUGHT, I'M ANOINTED, I'M
UNIQUE, I'M SELECTED.
I'M COMING TO A COUNTRY AND
A CULTURE TO CHANGE IT, AND
I HAVE THE POWER OF ALLAH
WITH ME.
Reporter: IN THE EARLY
1980s, CAMAL ENTRENCHED
HIMSELF IN A SMALL
MIDWESTERN TOWN.
AND HE BEGAN TARGETING MEN
FROM A POOR AREAS TO RECRUIT
THEM.
BUT ONE DAY HIS LIFE WOULD
BE IN THE HANDS OF THE
PEOPLE HE HATED THE MOST.
THAT DAY I HAD A CAR
WRECK.
THE CAR WRECK WAS SO SEVERE,
I EJECTED OUT OF MY CAR AND
BROKE MY NECK IN TWO
PLACES.
HIS MAN CAME RUNNING TO ME
AND HE SAID, DON'T WORRY.
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF
YOU.
EVERYTHING IS GOING TOING
ALL RIGHT.
THE AMBULANCE CAME AND
PICKED ME UP.
AND THE DOCTOR IN THE
EMERGENCY ROOM SAID, SON,
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF
YOU, AND EVERYTHING IS GOING
TO BE ALL RIGHT.
THE SECOND DAY I WAKE UP IN
THE HOSPITAL, AND THIS HEAD
OF PHYSICAL THERAPY, AND HE
READ MY CHART, AND HE TURNED
AROUND AND SAID THE SAME
THING WORD FOR WORD, "WE ARE
GOING TO TAKE CARE OF YOU."
Reporter: AS FIRST
CAMAL WAS FRIELT TEND
FRIGHTENED BY THEIR WORDS.
IN ISLAM, IF SOMEBODY
SAID THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE
CARE OF YOU, YOU BETTER
RUN.
Reporter: HE HAD
SURGERY, AND AFTER BEING
DISCHARGED FROM THE
HOSPITAL, HE NEEDED SOMEONE
TO TAKE CARE OF HIM.
CAMAL HAD NO ONE.
SO THE ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON
OPENED UP HIS OWN HOME TO
THIS STRANGER.
IN HIS HOME, THEY PUT ME
IN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ROOM.
I BECAME, LIKE, PART OF
THEIR FAMILY.
THEY DIDN'T SEE ME ANY
DIFFERENT.
NOW THEY HAD A BASKET SENT
FOR CAMAL, AND THEY PAID MY
HOSPITAL BILLS.
Reporter: AS HE
RECOVERED, HE BEGAN TO HELP
OUT AROUND THE HOUSE WITH
COOKING AND CLEANING.
THEY HAVE JEWISH FRIENDS
THAT CAME FROM ISRAEL, THAT
THEY SUPPORT, AND NOW I'M
HUGGING ISRAELIS AND COOKING
FOR JEWS.
I'M GOING, WHAT HAS HAPPENED
TO ME.
Reporter: WHEN CAMAL
WAS ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF
HIMSELF AND RETURN TO HIS
APARTMENT, THE DOCTOR HAD
ANOTHER SURPRISE FOR HIM.
HE SAID, THIS IS THE KEYS
TO THE HOUSE.
AND HERE IS AN EXTRA KEY.
THIS IS YOUR NEW CAR.
WE JUST WANT TO BLESS YOU.
YOU CAN COME ANY TIME YOU
WANT.
SO I GO TO MY HOME, AND I GO
TO MY COLD PLACE, AND I
HAVEN'T BEEN THERE IN
MONTHS, AND DUST IS THIS
THICK.
AND I JUST GE GOT TO SETTLE
THIS ISSUE WITH MY GOD, TO
KNOW IF IT IS REAL OR NOT.
SO I WALK INSIDE.
I SHUT THE DOOR, AND I GO
RIGHT IN THE EASTERN WINDOW
AND I FALL ON NA MY KNEES,
AND I CRY TO MY GOD.
ALLAH, MY LORD AND MY KING,
WHY HAVE YOU DONE SUCH A
THING TO ME.
I'M OKAY WITH THE CAR
WRECK.
I'M OKAY WITH ALL OF THIS.
BUT WHY DID YOU PUT ME AMONG
CHRISTIANS.
I'M CONFUSED.
THESE CHRISTIANS AND JEWS,
THEY ARE GOOD PEOPLE.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH
THEM.
THEY DON'T WANT TO KILL US.
THEY'RE NOT THE SAME THING
THAT I LEARNED ABOUT THEM.
ALLAH, THESE PEOPLE HAVE
RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR
GOD.
THESE PEOPLE, THEY CALL OUT
TO THE GOD AND THEY ANSWER
THEM.
I WANT TO HEAR YOUR VOICE.
I WANT TO HEAR YOU LOVE ME.
IF YOU'RE REAL, SPEAK TO
ME.
I WANT TO HEAR YOUR VOICE.
GUESS WHAT ALLAH SAID THAT
DAY?
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
Reporter: CAMAL FELT
THAT BECAUSE HE QUESTIONED
HIS FAITH THE HONORABLE
THING TO DO WAS TO END HIS
LIFE.
SO I WENT TO REACH OUT MY
GUNS AND PUT IT IN THE RIGHT
PLACE AND CLOCK OUT.
I HEARD THE VOICE.
THE VOICE KNEW ME BY NAME.
HE SAID CAMAL, CAMAL, WHY
DON'T YOU CALL ON FATHER
ABRAHAM AND ISAAC AND
JAMES.
I FELL ON MY KNEES, AND I
CRIED OUT WITH EVERY FIBER
IN ME.
GOD, THE FATHER, ABRAHAM, IF
YOU ARE REAL, WOULD YOU
SPEAK TO ME.
GOD, THE FATHER OF ABRAHAM,
IF YOU ARE REAL, I WANT TO
KNOW YOU.
WELL, GOD THE FATHER OF
ABRAHAM FILLED THE ROOM.
HE HAS HOLES IN HIS HANDS.
HE HAS HOLES IN HIS FEET.
HIS NAME IS JESUS.
I SAID TO HIM, WHO ARE YOU,
MY LORD?
WHO YOU ARE?
HE SAID, I AM THAT I AM.
I SAID, I'M A SIMPLE MAN
WITH A SIMPLE MAN.
WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO ME?
HE SAID I AM THE ALPHA, I
AM THE OMEGA, I AM THE
BEGINNING, I AM THE END.
AND I AM EVERYTHING IN
BETWEEN.
I HAVE FORMED YOU.
I HAVE LOVED YOU BEFORE I
FORMED YOU IN YOUR MOTHER'S
WOMB.
RISE UP, CAMAL.
RISE UP.
YOU ARE MY WARRIOR.
YOU ARE NOT THEIR WARRIOR.
I SAID TO HIM, MY LORD, I
WILL LIVE AND DIE FOR YOU.
HE SAID, DO NOT DIE FOR ME.
I DIED FOR YOU SO THAT YOU
MAY LIVE.
Reporter: THAT DAY
INSTEAD OF TAKING HIS LIFE,
CAMAL GAVE IT TO JESUS.
HE NOW HAS A NEW MISSION AND
TRAVELS THE COUNTRY,
CHALLENGING MUSLIMS TO
QUESTION THEIR ALLEGIANCE TO
ALLAH.
MY HEART'S DESIRE IS TO
REACH OUT TO MY BROTHERS AND
SISTERS, THE MUSLIMS OUT
THERE, 1.5 BILLION MUSLIMS,
THEY ARE LIVING OUT THERE,
AND THEY HAVE NOT TASTED
THAT FREEDOM AND THAT
FREEDOM IN GOD.
Reporter: IT HAS BEEN
20 YEARS SINCE CAMAL LEFT
THE ISLAMIC FAITH.
EVEN THREATS OF VIOLENCE AND
DEATH CANNOT STOP HIM FROM
SHARING HIS STORY.
HE IS REAL.
IF YOU NEVER EXPERIENCED GOD
BEFORE IN YOUR LIFE, IF YOU
NEVER TASTED GOD, AND IF YOU
THINK YOU'VE GOT NOTHING TO
LOSE, WHEN YOU ARE SITTING
IN YOUR HOME, WHETHER YOU'RE
A MUSLIM OR NON-MUSLIM OR
CHRISTIAN OR WHATEVER YOU
ARE, CALL ON GOD, THE FATHER
OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB, SAY
SPEAK TO ME.
I WANT TO HEAR YOUR VOICE.
