Man with a red-state accent

I found Kareem Salama through a couple of hyperlinks off Beliefnet's Idol Chatter column. He is an Egyptian-American country and western singer raised in Oklahoma who provides the music for this video



about American Muslims which is charming and funny. What is equally refreshing is an interview he did on Fox News last year. He might convert me -- to country music.

Beautiful! I love the handwritten placards with their honest messages. Thanks for sharing, Marcia!

P.S. I just watched the interview. He has an Oklahoma accent! And his singing voice is pure American country ... even if the message isn't quite what you expect from a red-state country singer.
