Mosab Hassan Yousef, son of Hamas leader, has become a ChristianThe son of one of the most revered leaders of the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas has renounced his religion to move to America and become an evangelical Christian.
Mosab Hassan Yousef, 30, said that his decision to abandon his Muslim faith and denounce his father's organisation had exposed his family to persecution in his home town of Ramallah and endangered his own life.
But despite the cost, Mr Yousef told The Daily Telegraph that he is convinced that speaking out about the problems of Islam and the 'evil' he witnessed back home would help to address the 'messed-up situation' in the Middle East and one day bring about peace and enable him to return. 'I'm not afraid of them, especially as I know that I'm doing the right thing, and I don't see them as my enemies,' he said. 'I do think about this a lot. But what are they going to do? Are they going to kill me? 'If they want to kill me, let them do it. I'm not going to stop anyone. It's going to be my freedom. 'My soul's going to be free of my body, not flesh any more.'
