Synopsis

Since he was a small boy, Mosab Hassan Yousef has had an inside view of the deadly terrorist group Hamas. The oldest son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, a founding member of Hamas and its most popular leader, young Mosab assisted his father for years in his political activities while being groomed to assume his legacy, politics, status . . . and power. But everything changed when Mosab turned away from terror and violence, and embraced instead the teachings of another famous Middle East leader. In Son of Hamas, Mosab Yousef—now called “Joseph”—reveals new information about the world’s most dangerous terrorist organization and unveils the truth about his own role, his agonizing separation from family and homeland, the dangerous decision to make his newfound faith public, and his belief that the Christian mandate to “love your enemies” is the only way to peace in the Middle East.

Updating this because the activists have finally been released from jail and I am so incredibly relieved that they're okay (and fucking furious that they spent six months in jail for the terrible crime of talking to Israelis). -------------------------------- I had a chance to participate in a conver......more

Goodreads review by Matal “The Mischling Princess” on January 20, 2024

As an anthropologist, I have studied numerous religions and appreciate the roles they play in human society. As an individual, though, I have had many negative experiences with them—Christianity, Catholicism, Islam, Mormonism, and Judaism—not just because of the way that I’ve been personally treated......more
