Kareem Salama, An American Original



Our favorite counter singer Kareem Salama keep on rocking and insisting on being heard all over the world, not just in his Oklahoma hometown. The young charming and charismatic bright star of country music covers complex subjects in his music and his art. In my book, he is the best bridge between America and the Arab and largely the Muslim world.

Salama who sang for the revolutions brewing in Arab countries comes to again to defend another group--Hijab wearing Muslim women in the face of harassment carried by more often than not ignorant few. While Kareem could easily have punched the guy who harassed his sister and knock him to the floor, he did the right thing. Just rise above the idiotic fools.

In Gregarious Peace, I feel I am meeting a man with peace with himself, even thought he has a lot of fight in him, he chooses the higher road. This is a very beautiful story of a young man doing the right thing and proving his is the bigger man. On another note, Kareem shows a side of him that we have yet to see, the athletic side. He looks good doing music or just kicking something.
