Son of Hamas Leader Comes to Christ

What better way to start the new year then to share with you a testimony of a son of a Hamas leader who has come to Christ and forsaken all to follow Him.

Today Fox News is reporting the story of Mosab Hassan Yousef, which also includes a video from August of 2008.

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?”

Yousef has sought asylum in the United States and now attends an evangelical Christian church on Barabbas Road in San Diego, Calif.

Read the whole thing.

  1. I read about this and thought – great. The Muslim population needs to hear the gospel and who better than from former Muslim.

    Just hope his message isn’t being surpressed.

  2. There is really something special about a muslim coming to know Christ (or anyone for that matter).
