Kamal Saleem "(a pseudonym) was born into a large Sunni Muslim family in Lebanon. As a boy of seven fleeing a beating from teenage thugs in ethnically divided Beirut, Kamal took refuge in a mosque where he met radicals of the Muslim Brotherhood. Playing on the jihadist dreams instilled in Kamal by his mother, these imams took him to a terror training camp run by Yasser Arafat's Fatah faction. Maturing into a terrorist's terrorist, Kamal's journey in "jihad "took him to countries such as Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq. Training terrorists from around the globe, he ruthlessly pursued "Umma--"one world under Islam--by any means necessary. But while infiltrating the United States, a tragic incident embroiled Kamal in a clash of cultures and forced him to reevaluate his understanding of truth and faith. Kamal is now an American citizen and has embraced the Christian faith he once sought to destroy. He consults with federal law enforcement agencies and speaks on the dangers of radical Islam at venues across the country, including Stanford University, the University of California at Berkeley, and the U.S. Air Force Academy. Kamal lives with his American family in an undisclosed location somewhere in America.

002244744|01|AU|Having first disguised himself under alias as Martin Vernon in case his Bluffer's Guide to Law caused him to be struck off, David Mitchell now feels sufficiently safe to own up to being himself.
At the age of nine he was despatched to Sussex where he spent seven years dressed in knee breeches and yellow stockings marching up and down to a band. These peculiar traits, combined with the failure of his studies in Maths, Physics and Chemistry, inexorably led to a career in the law. He has pursued the sport of litigation in London, occasionally in foreign climes, and now in the Midlands. He has dabbled as a Deputy District Judge and is now a mediator (which he reckons is like meditation in front of an audience) but regards squash as the only proper alternative activity, perhaps influenced by his disabilities at tennis, golf, windsurfing, skiing and sex.
Observation of the failures of others during his time spent as a divorce lawyer has sustained his own happy marriage and amused his long-suffering family. A senior partner within his firm, he has been heard to observe that a partnership is like marriage, but that he never expected to have around 25 spouses, nor that only three of them would be women.
