As reported by Fox News, Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of of Hamas influential founding member, Sheikh Hassan Yousef, stated there will never be lasting peace between the Hamas and Isreal.

Mosab Hassan Yousef stated, among other things, "is there any chance for fire to co-exist with the water?" "It's not about Israel, it's not about Hamas: it's about both ideologies."

Yousef, went on to state that Hamas betrays the Palestinian cause and tortures its own members.

Yousef indicated that he was indoctrinated at an early age to use violence to challenge Israeli control in the region. As a teenager he moved up within the organization and became the leader of the radical Islamic Youth Movement that fought Israeli tanks and troops in the streets, celebrated suicide bombings and recruited young men to the cause.

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.

"The Hamas leadership, including my father, they're responsible; they're responsible for all the violence that happened from the organization. I know they describe it as reaction to Israeli aggression, but still, they are part of it and they had to make decisions in those operations against Israel (for) which there was the killing of many civilians."

Talk about refreshing! More people like Mr. Yousef need to boldly speak out against the horrors militancy. Sadly, the Islamic community, for the most part, remains silent regarding groups like Hamas. Vociferous Islamic condemnation by large groups of people across the globe against groups like Hamas may tip the balance. Sadly, the overall hatred of Jews by Muslims clouds the minds of many.
