Last year, a man named Mosab Hassan Yousef was on tour to promote his new book, ‘Son of Hamas’ and to tell the story about his amazing conversion from Islam to Christianity; he was even touted as someone instrumental in rescuing Israelis from Hamas. Making Mosab’s story even more compelling was the fact that he is the son of a Hamas founder – Sheik Hassan Yousef – who disowned Mosab over the alleged conversion.
During an interview on Sean Hannity’s television show last year, Mosab said:
“I wanted to infiltrate the Israeli Shin Bet in order to play a double agent and it ended up absolutely the opposite.”
While Mosab was giving speeches at universities and churches, a former Muslim terrorist who once belonged to the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) – Walid Shoebat – was busy translating the Arabic statements of Ground Zero mosque Imam – Feisal Abdul Rauf – into English. What he found was a man who preached “tolerance” and “interfaith dialogue” to western audiences, Sharia Law and Jihad to Arabic ones.
Shoebat has done it again. He has now found the words of Mosab Hassan Yousef in Arabic and insists that they are not the words of a convert to Christianity. In fact, says Shoebat, Mosab’s objective appears to be the infiltration of western Churches in order to get them to actively work against Israel.
According to Mosab, his main goal in coming to the U.S. is to infiltrate the main source of international support for Israel: the American church.
After translating Mosab’s interviews on two separate Arabic-language programs, Shoebat quotes the Son of Hamas as saying:
“During my tours in universities and even churches, [I found] the real support for Israel stems from the church in the West. … We need to understand the difference between ‘revenge’ and ‘resistance’ and once the Palestinians do, we will have our victory against Israel.”
During one of the interviews – on YouTube – Mosab can be seen wearing a kaffiyeh around his neck. This is very significant because it is a garment that shows solidarity with the Palestinian cause, which is vehemently anti-Israel. Fast forward to the 3:00 mark to see the host introduce Mosab’s book followed by a video feed of the Son of Hamas author.
On Shoebat’s website there is audio of another interview with Mosab – subtitles included – in which Mosab explains to a caller and the Arabic speaking audience that they should never report incidents of known terror activity to Israeli officials, only to the Palestinian Authority.
If these findings are accurate, Mosab Hassan Yousef’s book should have had a slightly different title.
