  • bernk1, on 07/31/2008, -1/+23HA'ARETZ HEADLINE - "Hamas' Christian convert: I've left a society that sanctifies terror"

    Masab, son of West Bank Hamas leader and MP Sheikh Hassan Yousef, has become a Christian. He says, "You Jews should be aware: You will never, but never have peace with Hamas. Islam, as the ideology that guides them, will not allow them to achieve a peace agreement with the Jews. They believe that tradition says that the Prophet Mohammed fought against the Jews and that therefore they must continue to fight them to the death." "An entire society sanctifies death and the suicide terrorists. In Palestinian culture a suicide terrorist becomes a hero, a martyr. Sheikhs tell their students about the 'heroism of the shaheeds.'"
  • IPublius, on 07/31/2008, -1/+20This is a man who truly believes. As he noted himself, his life is now forfeit for being an apostate and he is dead to his family. His comments should be listened to as he makes them not out of bitterness or hatred but out of knowledge and an acceptance that he was wrong.

    • jb1965, on 07/31/2008, -1/+13To Barack HUSSEIN Obama Islam preaches the EXACT kind of peace that he wants to make us live under. Total oppression of individual freedom and liberty! Socialism is like Islam and so many other manmade religions in that way!
  • jb1965, on 07/31/2008, -1/+17Welcome home brother Joseph! You are free now! I thank God for brave saints like you! Your bravery is incomprehensible!

    Even though you're in California, you're still in the safest country in the world for Christians!

    Here's an excellent website to help educate, edify and sanctify you in your new found Christian faith:

  • drachemorder, on 07/31/2008, -1/+18What a guy! And Jimmy Carter and his ilk should take careful note about what this guy says about where he came from. He clearly understands the ideology, as he used to be part of it.
    • jb1965, on 07/31/2008, -0/+14Amen brother! Who better to know the dangers of Islam than a former fundementalist Muslim terrorist?! I'm happy to call Mr. Yousuf a brother in Christ!
  • Tugging, on 08/01/2008, -1/+14Praise the Lord! May God protect him and use him for His glory!
  • GWBARNHOUSE, on 08/01/2008, -1/+16This is what Islam truly fears. That its followers will forsake a religion that enslaves and requires ritual after ritual to follow Jesus Christ and have freedom. I pray and hope this man will be kept safe.
    ==================
    What is happening today is that our leaders are letting Islam make inroads into our country. This is like going to sleep next a nest of rattle snakes.

  • frofisrael, on 08/01/2008, -1/+9God bless you Joseph. You've chosen the name of my favourite character in the Bible, other than the Lord Jesus Christ. May the Lord grant you the joy of seeing all your family members saved and trusting in the Lord. That is His promise: "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved AND THY HOUSE" (emphasis mine) Acts 16:30-31.
  • neko6, on 08/02/2008, -1/+6"Send regards to Israel, I miss it. I respect Israel and admire it as a country,"
    "You Jews should be aware: You will never, but never have peace with Hamas. Islam, as the ideology that guides them, will not allow them to achieve a peace agreement with the Jews. They believe that tradition says that the Prophet Mohammed fought against the Jews and that therefore they must continue to fight them to the death."

    Can't blame us for trying, can he?
