Son of Hamas leader converts to Christianity

3:32 pm on July 31, 2008 by Infidelesto

Ouch!

The son of West Bank Hamas leader Sheikh Hassan Yousef, the most popular figure in that extremist Islamic organization, a young man who assisted his father for years in his political activities, has become a Christian…

Haaretz

Masab knows that he has little hope of returning to visit the Holy Land in this lifetime. “I know that I’m endangering my life and am even liable to lose my father, but I hope that he’ll understand this and that God will give him and my family patience and willingness to open their eyes to Jesus and to Christianity. Maybe one day I’ll be able to return to Palestine and to Ramallah with Jesus, in the Kingdom of God.”

Nor does he attempt to hide his affection for Israel, or his abhorrence of everything representing the surroundings in which he grew up: the nation, the religion, the organization.
“Send regards to Israel, I miss it. I respect Israel and admire it as a country,” he says.

And sends a clear warning to the libtards who still don’t get it.

“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.”

Is that the justification for the suicide attacks?

“More than that. 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.’”

And yet, in spite of the criticism of the place he left, California can’t make the longings disappear.

“I miss Ramallah,” he says. “People with an open mind. … I mainly miss my mother, my brothers and sisters, but I know that it will be very difficult for me to return to Ramallah soon.”

      Hamas is composed of authentic Muslims. That means they are stupid, fanatical and fatalistic.  Hamas will adhere to the Muslim War Manual, the filthy Qur’an, to their death.  Hamas will continue to:

      “Make war on the infidels around you,” (Sura 9 Verse 123 and Sura 66 Verse 9).

      Also, like rabid dogs Hamas will employ ruthlessness.  “Be ruthless to the infidels,” (Sura 48 Verse  29).

      Like true Muslim fanatics,  Hamas will kill, kill, kill.  “KIll the unbelievers wherever you find them,” (Sura 2 Verse 191).

      So the only defense is to kill Hamas soldiers before they kill you.

      If the truth were to be told, and that is obviously not often in the muslinazi scheme of things, there are probably many more apostates or aspiring apostates that are intimidated by the potential violence against them. That is probably the reason that we hear so little of them.  Only the rich and famous amoung them dare reveal themselves.  The others have to keep their heads down to avoid big problems.  Stick that in your hat mooslimb boy.

      If analogies with Communism are accurate, there are probably a large number of people who spout a good orthodox diatribe so as to deflect suspicion and many more who just keep their head down. A significant fraction of “true believers” keeps everyone in check and the truly powerful (a class missing in Gaza which is currently run by the true believers) who are not Muslims but who like for their subjects to be, maintain the system.

      The true believers maintain the others with a mixture of fear and ignorance - both conventional ignorance and ignorance of how many people are true believers. No one knows who to trust so trusting no one is safer. If potential apostates knew how many others there were it would be much harder to control the society.

      While I am not a Christian, I do admit that Christianity forms communities and networks that can empower individuals. This is why it flourishes under repressive systems. Secular networks of apostates should take a lesson and employ native language satellite broadcasts which directly and unapologetically criticize Islam, as well as Internet and other resources.

      And these efforts should embrace Western Muslim communities also.

    5. Claraa on 31 July 2008:

      Who will stand up against the radical Muslims if the moderate Muslims do nothing?  Their silence condones the actions of the radicals.  It seems to me the moderate Muslims should not leave this fight to the rest of the world while staying silent themselves.  Do we want to lose the entire world to these people?  Really?

      What Republicans Want……

      Many of us are so tired of politics. We’re not happy with McCain, but we know America cannot survive for long with Obama as President. Republicans want somebody they can love, like they loved Reagan….

    9. Kal-El on 1 August 2008:

      This guy is one brave S.O.B., LITERALLY, as well as figuratively, for doing this and going public about it.

      Right Truth,
      McCain is far from perfect. B Hussein Obama is far from good. I would choose an imperfect man over a wicked man any day of the weak. McCain at least TRIES to reach out to the common folk. B Hussein Obama avoids them because we are bitter, clinging to our guns and our religion. McCain can be a stopgap, and allow the Conservative Movement to regroup. B Hussein Obama would be a disaster, making Jimmy “The Dhimmi” Carter look like a wise leader.

      Muslims have irritated & Inflamated America then why has USA been so linient, sympathatic and tolerant towards muslims. Why do they allow them to come in their country and allow them to grow pathogenic and ridiculous looking beards and allow their women to wear veils. Is this to manifest ‘unity in diversity’?

    11. Kal-El on 2 August 2008:

      KUNAL, We have been lenient because we are not war mongers, as the commie leftist media and islamic “scholars” would have the world believe. We are tolerant to a certain point. Once that point is reached, I feel a great swell of pity for the poor sap on the receiving end. Ask anyone in Japan born in the 1930’s about that. They irritated us at Pearl Harbor, and we obliterated Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And like muslims, the Japanese of that era had a habit of flying airplanes into fixed objects, killing themselves to get at American Forces.

      Hi Kal-El!

      we in india also face the same situation as USA, recently in 23 separate bomb blast in the city of Ahmedabad 89 people were killed and hundreds lay fataly injured, an act of islami jehad. A muslim organisation named indian mujahidin claimed the responsibility of this ‘glorious’ act. The severity is that, out of these 23 blasts the last five happened near the emergency and trauma centres of five main government hospitals just to make it more agonizing for all those who are injured but still have a chance of survival and to cause a fatal blow to all those including doctors who are in the service of the injured. Among those killed, 12 were children between the age of 2 to 8 years. Such brutal and barbaric acts are conducted by muslims all over the world and still they want us to respect their religion (such a joke). Muslims feed and prosper on sympathy and acceptance given by different countries just in turn to cause those countries a sever damage. They dont believe in patriotism they are loyal only to their mullahs, mosques and islam not to the countries they live in. the shrewdness of muslims is that in open broad daylight they will take of secularism and even denounce the act of terrorism saying that “These terrorist have no religion and they distort the image of islam” but this same muslims can be seen listening with great zeal the lectures of fundamentalist mullahs in the mosques after friday prayers. Therefore this double standards of these psuedo secular muslims make it very difficult to recognize the very few good muslims that might be existent in this world.

      christians or westerners do not seem to have any problems with anybody belonging to any faith except muslims. In India also we have a large number of christians in addition to other moderate portion of population belonging to other faiths like sikhism, jainism, budhism,persians, jews etc. but the majority of the hindus never ever had any conflict or problems with these minority population. we and christians live in great harmony, but it is the muslims who always hold vengeance against the majority hindus. The root of the Problem i think lies in their inability to localize themselves and give up the arabian culture which is an inseparable part of islam.

      It is now a widely known fact that muslims today hail and appreciate Adolf Hitler for his act of mass massacre of jews. Hitler has given his reasons for this which reveals his anti-Semitic racial psychology. Attempt of ethinc cleansing of jews was a same for entire europe, Just imagine the agony of a group of people who know beforehand that they are going to die. we all except the jews cant describe this feeling because we or our forefathers havent been through this pain. By hailing Hitler Muslims have revealed their violent and barbaric mentality. As far as the issue of Isreal and Palestine is concerned then i would like to say that Jews have bought thousands of hactres of land around deganiah (the first very tiny jewish settlement)containing only twenty jewish men and women. What you see as isreal today is mostly built on barren lands that were legally purchased by jewish national fund & zionist organisation, jews from all over the world donated every single penny for acquiring their homeland. Jews have suffered with nostalgia for centuries before they found israel. It is the jews who struggled for years and turned the barren lands of Deganiah, Afula, Nahalal & Ramalla into productive farms. Upon seeing the development and intelligence of jews the arabs now want their land back for which they were paid (so ridiculous). Further if now the muslims hate Israel and project jews as tyrants and talk about Human rights, then i would like to say that where were they and where were all the human right activists when Egypt, Syria and Jordan suddenly without warning attacked Israel in 1967 and again in 1973 (The Yom Kippur war, Yom Kippur is the most sacred day in Jewish Calendar, and therefore a planned attack by Egypt, Syria and Jordan on Israel on this day manifest their wicked and perverted Psychology) Please note that the world was not with Israel at that time, it had to fight and defend it territory on its own with whatever means they had. My message to Muslims is that you roughed up Israel, you attacked their kibbutz very often as marauders you gathered in large numbers to threaten isreal and so If you feel that Israel is a tyrant then it is you who have made it a tyrant. Because if it hadnt become what it is today then you might have repeated the black holocaust done by hitler. Muslims hate israel because it doesnt allow them to erase its existence.

      ANY MUSLIM HAS A RESPONSE?

      KUNAL,

      I saw the carnage of those bombs. And I am sickened by it, but it is muslims following the example of their beloved pedophile muhammad, so they think it is acceptable. I am aware of the love that muslims have for Hitler. I have seen photos dated to 1934 of Hitler in Jerusalem sitting with the Mufti. I am also aware of how India was splintered into Bangladesh and Pakistan, thanks to islam. The same thing is ongoing in Africa, as can be seen in Sudan.

      You describe islam perfectly. There will come a time (and it is not too far off, I believe) when The West will simply say enough is enough, and then something catastrophic will occur (not to us, but to islam). Islam is a dying cult, there are hundreds of thousands of apostates who have seen the light and recognized muhammad for the pedophile criminal he was.  I wish India success in her war on terrorist islam.
