The Blood of Lambs: A Former Terrorist's Memoir of Death and Redemption

A Gripping Read

"The Blood of Lambs" byy Kamal Saleem is an amazing, must read book from start to finish. It is a memoir about a former terrorist's life. Since it is a memoir, everything contained in the book must be taken with a grain of salt because the author will be inherantly somewhat biased. However, that being said, I believe the author does try to provide the reader with an honest view of what being a terrorist was like. The purpose of this book is to inform the reader and open up their eyes that the danger to America is not gone but in fact real and present.

The chapters in this book are short, exactly like "The DaVinci Code", which makes the book an even faster read. I could not put this book down once I began it. It grabs the reader immediately and they are drawn into this dangerous world. Since the purpose of this book was not just to tell the story of one former terrorist's life but to inform and warn the readers, it succeeded. The reader cannot finish this book without feeling a little chill in their spine about the future. This book definitely provides a wakeup call for all of those who have become complacent since the 9/11 terrorist attacks in America.

This is an amazing memoir and I highly recommend it to everyone. It is one of those books you can't put down once you begin. Also this book has a good point it's trying to make which makes this book even more worth the read.

The Blood of Lambs, by Kamal Saleem

This is truly the best book I have ever read. Kamal's story gripped me from the very beginning and I simply could not stop reading the book once I started. I had alot of my own personal questions regarding Islam and Muslims before I started reading it and Kamal answered alot of these questions that actually brought me a peace of mind, but at the same time validated my fears regarding our war on terrorism. I believe considering the times we live in, every person should read this book if for no other reason but to have a better understanding. I wish I could thank him personally for having the courage to write about it.

Lost some serious sleep over this one!

I literally was not able to put this book down until I had finished it. It is fascinating and enlightening. I like the way the author includes passages from the Qu'ran. For an American, with absolutely no understanding of Muslim culture, this book is a wake-up call!

Nothing new

As a security professional, the "inside" story concept revealed nothing new. To the "non-security" minded, it is enlightening to discover the conviction these religous groups have to infiltrate and spread their message.

Excellent book that should cause all to reevaluate their view of the threats that western/christian/jewish traditions face in the coming decades.

A personal story of a devout muslem and his journey from being a terrorist devoted to killing in the name of Allah to a man of peace. A true story unadorned by rabid pro-western bias. The book provides a keen insight and perspective in to the inner thinking/workings of some muslem families and some muslem organizations. Well worth the read, but it will likely cause the casual student of international affairs to think and perhaps reevaluate his/her opinions.

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!

I heard Mr. Saleem in a radio interview after missing him speak at my church. This book is so very well written and the message is clear. Buy it! Read it! Pass it on!!!

Highly recommend

I think every American should read this book & I would be happy to lend it to anyone with a Nook. It explains so much about why radical Muslims hate anyone that is not a Muslim and why there is nothing we can do to change the way they think except pray that they will find the light of Christianity before they take over our world.

very interesting and for us scary

This book sheds light on some very bad things going on in the US. We need to be aware and not listen to the down play of the Media and our leaders. It is real, and this man had a horrible child hood and brain washing. Praise the Lord he is not out there still, plotting and killing.

Eye Opener

This was a truly inspirational conversion story.

Love can prevail

This man's life story is about sin and redemption. It shows how love is needed to complete your heart - love by the people here on Earth but that the love of God is needed most of all. It is inspiring that the people who think like this can be changed by understanding what Jesus truly did and continues to do. It was hard to read in some places for the violence but is necessary in the book to make us understand what jihad is about. I would not say this is a Christian read for those interested in the life of a terrorist, that is just what I took from it.

Riveting Read

Kamal's tale of growing up in the middle east and how he became involved with terrorist factions is hard to put down. The formula he describes for assimilation into the US culture is truly a must read. People need to be aware of what is going on around them and the frightening possibilities that are outlined in this book.
