Son of Hamas leader converted to Christianity & now gives glimpse into Hamas (video embeds)
UPDATE: 1/4/2008: “Escape From Hamas”–Fox News Special Report (Video Embeds of Entire Show)
[Click here to view video of Mosab Hassan Yousef speaking out...more video embeds at bottom of this post]
Mosab Hassan Yousef was born the son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, one of the most influential leaders of the militant Hamas organization in the West Bank. He converted to Christianity, moved to the U.S., and now provides the world an inside look behind Hamas.
From FoxNews.com (two excerpts)…
JONATHAN HUNT: Why, after 25 years, did you change?
MOSAB HASSAN YOUSEF: I believe that all those walls that Islam built for the last 1,400 years are not existing (sic) anymore. They don’t recognize this. They built those walls and made people ignorant because they’re afraid. They didn’t want people to discuss anything about the reality of Islam, about the big questions of Islam and they asked their followers, the Muslims, ‘Don’t ask about those certain questions.’
But now, people have media. If the father closes the door for his daughter not to leave the house, she’s going to go behind her computer and travel the world. So people easily can get information, knowledge, searching (sic) engines, so it’s very, very available for everybody to study about Islam, about other religions. Not from the Islam point of view, but from other points of view.

JONATHAN HUNT: Do you believe that Israel can ever strike a peace deal with Hamas?
MOSAB HASSAN YOUSEF: There is no chance. Is there any chance for fire to co-exist with the water? There is no chance. Hamas can play politics for 10 years, 15 years; but ask any one of Hamas’ leaders, ‘Okay, what’s going to happen after that? Are you just going to live and co-exist with Israel forever?’ The answer is going to be no … unless they want to do something against the Koran. But it’s their ideology and they can’t just say ‘We’re not going to do it.’ So there is no chance. It’s not about Israel, it’s not about Hamas: it’s about both ideologies. There is no chance

This was enlightening. Guess his answer says that there never could be peace. God Bless Mosab for speaking out.
