Islam is not a religion of peace. Islam is a religion of war, and most Muslims don't understand the true nature of Islam.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
The god of Islam tells his people, "Beat your wife. Go kill infidels. Go Kill Christians and Jews." This is in the Koran; it has been for 1400 years. Their god tells them to kill everybody who doesn't believe in the god of the Koran.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
I asked myself what Palestinians would do if Israel disappeared-if everything not only went back to the way it was before 1948 but if all the Jewish people abandoned the Holy Land and were scattered again. And for the first time, I knew the answer. We would still fight. Over nothing. Over a girl without a head scarf. Over who was toughest and most important. Over who would make the rules and who would get the best seat.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
I'm not trying to convert the entire nation of Israel and the entire nation of Palestine to Christianity. But at least if you can educate them about the ideology of love, the ideology of forgiveness, the ideology of grace. Those principles are great regardless, but we can't deny they came from Christianity as well.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
Traditional Muslims stand at the foot of the ladder, living in guilt for not really practicing Islam. At the top are fundamentalists, the ones you see in the news killing women and children for the glory of the god of the Qur'an. Moderates are somewhere in between. A moderate Muslim is actually more dangerous than a fundamentalist, however, because he appears to be harmless, and you can never tell when he has taken that next step toward the top. Most suicide bombers began as moderates.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
If there's a good side of Islam, at the end of the day it serves evil.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
The God of Quran is trying to unskin Muslims from their humanity. Muslims are good people. But their God is absolutely bad.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
Most Muslims don't obey the order of god to kill infidels. This is why I say Muslims have more morality than their god.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
I'm amazed at how Muslims keep their humanity after reading the Koran.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
We need to educate people about the reality of Islam, the logics of Islam. I am sure every free man in this world would fight the ideology of Islam.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
In Christianity, it's very clear that the god we worship is equal to love. The bible says, 'God is love'. The god we worship was sacrificed, crucified on the cross, tortured, spit on, and was still forgiving. This is our highest example.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
Out of 1.6 billion Muslims, perhaps only 300 million actually understand the language of the Koran.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
Then I read this: “You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven†(Matthew 5:43-45). That's it! I was thunderstruck
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
Hamas murders not only Israelis, but also Palestinians whose political stance is different from that which its group promotes; that is, its radical religious outlook in which Islam is the solution to the world's problems.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
Hamas cannot make peace with the Israelis. That is against what their God tells them. It is impossible to make peace with infidels, only a ceasefire.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
Hamas, they are using civilians' lives, they are using children, they are using the suffering of people every day to achieve their goals. And this is what I hate.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
If you get yourself out of politics, religion, everything, and think as a human, think based on love to everybody, at that moment you have a choice: to be an animal, or to be a human. I choose to be a human being, with conscience and responsibility.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
Hamas does not care about the lives of Palestinians. [They don't] care about the lives of Israelis or Americans. They don't care about their own lives. They consider dying for the sake of their ideology a way of worship.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
Hamas was born to destroy. Hamas does not know how to build. I doubt they will be able to build a modern Palestinian state and hope their lies will be exposed to the Palestinian public.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
I want everybody to worship the God of love instead of worshipping the God of hate and torture. But in the meantime we don't want to force Jesus Christ on anybody and look that we are trying to force our beliefs onto other.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
I love my people. They have the right to live like any other nation on Earth.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
If Hamas continues to threaten the security of the state of Israel, I believe Israel has the ability and the capacity to control the borders and cut off the weapons supply.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
Hamas thinks they can kill the will of people by intimidation. Most of those who are killed in the Gaza Strip for the suspicion of collaborating with Israel, have nothing to do with Israel.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
I'm familiar with the Palestinian mentality, the culture, religion, and when I had information coming in on a daily basis: secrets about personal lives, politicians, what they are hiding from their society that most people don't see, I started to see the picture in a different way.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
If you can educate Muslims about their biggest enemy, and if you can solve the problem, the ideological problem, it doesn't give an immediate result, but it's the best thing over the long term.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
I know people who support Hamas but they never got involved in terrorist attacks, for example... They follow Hamas because they love God and they think that Hamas represents God. They don't have knowledge, they don't know the real God and they never studied Christianity. But Hamas, as representative for Islam, it's a big problem.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
I'm not trying to defend Israel. What I'm telling my nation is that Israel is just like any other state, and I want them to get out of the illusion that Jewish people are evil, and that all they want is to kill Muslims and Palestinians. I want them to understand that their biggest problem is not Israel.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
My dad is a loving person. He would never disown me. At some point we will be together again. I love my father, and he loves me.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
I was a witness to lots of death... Saving a human life was something really, really beautiful... no matter who they are. Not only Israeli people owe me their lives. I guarantee many terrorists, many Palestinian leaders, owe me their lives - or in other words they owe my Lord their lives.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
I love my family, they love me. And my little brothers, they're like my sons. I raised them.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
Palestinians no longer blamed Yasser Arafat or Hamas for their troubles. Now they blamed the Israelis for killing their children. But I still couldn't escape a fundamental question: Why were those children out there in the first place? Where were the parents? Why didn't their mothers and fathers keep them inside? Those children should have been sitting at their desks in school, not running in the streets throwing stones at armed soldiers.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
Intelligence communities are very closed communities, but at the same time, you don't only learn how to fight terrorism. You need to learn about life, about West and East, geography, history, culture, there are many, many things that you learn in order to be able to solve puzzles.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef -
I still love my people, not just my family - my people. I feel a huge responsibility for them.
-- Mosab Hassan Yousef
