Mosab Hassan Yousef is the son of one of the founders of Hamas, and he grew to hate Jews because of the way the Jews treated his father. Eventually, he saw the evil of Hamas and chose to help Israel stop their wicked terror attacks. He also repented of his sins and trusted Jesus Christ as his LORD and Savior. He wrote a book about his experiences called Son Of Hamas. Tim Challies wrote a review of the book here. Dr. Albert Mohler interviewed Mosab Hassan Yousef here. Mohler says "one of the most historic conversations I ever had, certainly on the air, is with Son of Hamas, Mosab Hassan Yousef". And of Yousef's book, Mohler says "it's one of the most amazing things I have yet read . . . it is one of the most important books I think I can commend to you." In this interview, Yousef states these chilling words:
Islam is the problem. Islam is not a religion of peace. Islam is the biggest lie in the human history . . . Muhammad lied to humanity 1,400 years ago, and people still believe in his lie . . . they want to come and kill everybody else if they don’t covert to that lie. So it’s a Satanic religion. It’s a religion full of hate. It’s a big lie . . . Muslims have been victims of this lie for the last 1,400 years . . . our problem is not with Muslims . . . their god is a god without morality. [Their god] is a terrorist . . . the god of Islam is a terrorist. And I guarantee you if you study the Quran, if you study the theology of Islam, you will figure out that the god of Islam is not more than Satan himself. He’s a terrorist. He’s a killer. He came here to steal. He stole Muslims’ hearts and souls, and he’s using them to destroy humanity.
In his book, Yousef writes:
Islamic life is like a ladder, with prayer and praising Allah as the bottom rung. The higher rungs represent helping the poor and needy, establishing schools, and supporting charities. The highest rung is jihad.
The ladder is tall. Few look up to see what is at the top. And progress is usually gradual, almost imperceptible . . . Traditional Muslims stand at the foot of the ladder, living in guilt for not really practicing Islam. At the top are the fundamentalists, the ones you see in the news killing woman and children for the glory of the god of the Qur’an. Moderates are somewhere in between.
A moderate Muslim is actually more dangerous than a fundamentalist, however, because he appears to be harmless, and you can never tell when he has taken that next step toward the top. Most suicide bombers began as moderates.
The day my father first put his foot on the bottom rung of the ladder, he could never have imagined how far from his original ideals he would eventually climb. And thirty-five years later, I would want to ask him: Do you remember where you started? You saw all those lost people, your heart broke for them, and you wanted them to come to Allah and be safe. Now suicide bombers and innocent blood? Is this what you set out to do? But speaking to one’s father about such things is not done in our culture. And so he continued on that dangerous path. (Pages 11-12)
The Only Hope For Peace
I love Muslims, so I hate Islam. I love Palestinians, so I hate the wicked ideology of Hamas that enslaves them, rules over them, and harms them. The only hope for Muslims and all people is the Prince of Peace - the LORD Jesus Christ. He is the God-Man, the Son of God, and the second Person in the Trinity. He came to earth, took on human flesh, lived a perfect, sinless life, died on the cross where He suffered the curse and wrath of God toward sinners, and then He rose up alive from the dead on the third day, conquering sin, death, and hell. Everyone who repents (turns from sin) and believes in the LORD Jesus Christ shall be saved and find peace with God and peace with others:
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. Jesus (John 3:16)
