Escape from Hamas

Here is an interview with Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of one of the Hamas founders, who converted to Christianity. It all started because a Christian tourist to Israel gave him a Bible. Watch this and you will never again question the importance of sharing our faith. This young man could literally change the face of Islam, but in doing so he also puts his own life in danger.

I have included part of the transcript from the FoxNews Special because his testimony is so powerful.

Mosab Hassan: I’m not trying to offend Muslims. I love them. Those Muslims are my family.

Jonathon Hunt: But you are going to offend people and you are going to put your own life in danger, aren’t you, by doing this?

Mosab: Some of them will be offended. Some of them will be offended, but I am sure, I believe that many of them will wake up.

Jonathon: Some of them will try to kill you.

Mosab: They will, they will. If they will kill me, they will kill this body, but the question, what about my soul, what about my ideas, what about my beliefs that I shared with everybody. Will they be able to kill this? I don’t think so.

Announcer: Within days (of the August report), Al-Qaeda, the world’s most notorious terrist group responded, issuing a lengthy statement criticizing Hamas for allowing this young man to convert to Christianity and concluding by quoting the chilling words of Mohammed, “Whoever changes his religion - Kill him”

Jonathon: Are you scared?

Mosab: I don’t want to die and I don’t want to pretend that I like to die. I love to live. I love to serve my Lord. But if this will be the challenge, and this is how I prove my faith, I ask God to give me patience to do it.

Announcer: And Mosab Hassan says his family will likely also suffer.

Jonathon: How does that make you feel? Do you think you shouldn’t have done this? You shouldn’t have gone public?

Mosab: No, I had to do this. I had to do this because this is going to change so many people lives. Hopefully, my family’s life.

Jonathon: Do you believe your father will one day become a Christian?

Mosab: He is not too far from Christianity. He is very close. I told him that. I told him you are very far of Islam and very close to Christianity. That was my last sentence to him.

Jonathon: How do you think he reacted to that?

Mosab: He cried.

Jonathon: Tears of joy or despair.

Mosab: I don’t think it was joy at that moment. One day he will understand.

Jonathon: You’re depending on the charity of others. Your family back home is in tears. How do you cope with all of that?

Mosab: It’s a low price for Jesus. It’s even nothing. It’s like comparing to what He has done to us, it’s nothing.
