Son of Hamas

This is quite an amazing book – basically the autobiography of one Hassan Yousef Mosab the oldest son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, a founding member of Hamas.

The book charts his disenchantment with Islam and eventual conversion to Christ. As the son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef he was priveledged to many secret goings on of Hamas at the highest level.

He spent several years spying for the Israeli secret service (Shin Bet) in order to prevent the murder of inocents by homicide bombers. Writing the book has been very costly and the expected Fatwa (death penalty) has  been issued for abandoning the Islamic faith.

A very enlightening interview with Mosab may be found on Issues, Etc.
