Note: I watched the
Saturday evening broadcast. What an amazing program. As I watched, I
couldn't believe a TV station would have the guts to televise this
man's story. Amazing! A must see!! If you are a Christian, you will be stirred to see the hand of God upon this young man's life. - See also the valuable website: Answering Islam: A Christian-Muslim Dialog.
- (Original post) Fox News has published a fascinating story [HT: HotAir] of Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, one of the most influential leaders of the militant group Hamas. Yousef said the organization betrays the Palestinian cause and tortures its own members. Yousef converted to Christianity and attends an evangelical Christian congregation in San Diego, California. From the article:
Yousef, 30, said he realized the true nature of Hamas and radical Islam during a stint in an Israeli prison. He renounced his Muslim faith, left his family behind in Ramallah and converted to Christianity.
"Islam is not the word of God," said Yousef. "If you want to be offended it's your problem. But you know something? Go study. Think for a second that I might be right. So wake up, look at your path, see where you're going. Are you really going to heaven with 72 virgins after you kill yourself and kill another 20 people?"
A major documentary featuring Yousef and the inner workings of Hamas, will be aired this weekend. According to Fox,
Yousef talks more about his extraordinary story of faith, courage, violence and betrayal in a FOX News documentary, "Escape From Hamas," hosted by Bill Hemmer.
Escape from Hamas airs Sat at 10p, with repeats at 1am and 4a, EST, and Sun at 9pm, with repeats at 12 midnight, 2am, EST.
Two short videos introducing the documentary can be found here and here.
