Mosab Hassan Yousef

The Last Prophet is a novel based on the extraordinary life of the prophet Muhammad, one-time shepherd and outcast revolutionary. This desert master's discipline and principles would later become the basis for Islam, which today claims two billion followers. Death comes easily in the seventh-century Arabian desert--from hunger and thirst to the relentless sun to war and raiding tribes who take by force the scarce resources needed to survive. In this harsh land, the powerful city of Mecca is a beacon, famous for its well, which provides abundant life-giving water, and its great temple, where pilgrims come to worship the totems of hundreds of gods. It is here that the prophet Muhammad is born. As an orphan, he is disparaged by society. Brought up by an uncle, he was put to work on the caravan trade, traveling throughout Arabia, and soaking in an array of knowledge and religious views. He is a man of wisdom and faith who is troubled by the world around him. When God speaks to him, he sets out to preach what he has been told. Though every tribe has their own deity, he speaks of just one God. He shuns arrogance and the pursuit of luxury over truth and seeks to abolish slavery. In this patriarchal culture, he insists that smothering infant girls in the sand is murder, a custom to be abolished. As the prophet starts to develop a following, the leaders of the city recognize the threat his radical views have to their lifestyle--one of wealth built in part upon the backs of slaves. The nobles try to turn the people and even his own family against him. They ban him and his tribe, and they torture and kill those who follow him. But no matter what they do to him, his influence continues to grow. The two sides eventually call upon allies throughout Arabia, rallying warriors for an epic battle that will forever change the course of history.

From Hamas to America is a gripping memoir that follows the son of Hamas founder, Mosab Hassan, as he breaks away from his culture's practice of terrorism to becoming a double-agent for Israel to finally fleeing to America and becoming a US citizen, and ultimately finding peace. "This is my opportunity to share my journey with others, to let go of both the traumas and the triumphs, to find freedom, to proclaim my truth." Mosab Hassan Yousef has worn many labels: Hamas terrorist, Green Prince, spy, traitor, hero, Hollywood player, Muslim, Christian, yogi, stateless, refugee, deportee, citizen. But all these labels have one thing in common: they serve someone else's agenda. Now, for the first time, the New York Times bestselling author of Son of Hamas tells the full truth of his story. In it we see him growing up as the son of one of the founders of Hamas, being imprisoned and tortured by the Israelis, growing to hate the Hamas tactics of rape and violence, working with the Israeli intelligence to expose suicide bombers and save lives, seeking asylum in the US, fighting with Homeland Security to avoid deportation, rejecting Islam and converting to Christianity and making international headlines for it, becoming a top speaker on Middle Eastern affairs and the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, working with Hollywood to tell his story, and obtaining US citizenship and discovering the life-saving discipline of yoga. This is the inspiring story of someone who has been under threat of assassination or imprisonment for most of his life, but who somehow finds the path to freedom and peace. Few will walk in his shoes, but everyone can follow his example and make their own journey to find redemption and peace.

Den gripende og sanne historien om en " "insider" " i Hamas som fornektet sin voldelige skjebne - og som nå risikerer alt for å avsløre hemmelighetene til den ekstreme islamistorganisasjonen og vise verden en vei til fred. Siden han var en liten gutt, fikk Mosab Hassan Yousef se denne farlige terrororganisasjonen fra innsiden. Som den eldste sønnen til Sheikh Hassan Yousef, en av grunnleggerne av Hamas, ble han formet til å overta hans arv, politikk og status. Men alt forandret seg da Mosab snudde seg vekk fra terror og vold, og i stedet omfavnet læresetningene til en annen kjent leder fra MidtØsten. I "Sønn av Hamas" avslører Mosab Yousef ny informasjon om verdens farligste terrororganisasjon, og gir oss sannheten om sin egen rolle, om sin fortvilte adskillelse fra familie og hjemland, om den farlige avgjørelsen om å gjøre sin nye tro offentlig kjent, og om sin tro på at den kristne befalingen om å " "elske sine fiender" " er den eneste veien til fred i MidtØsten.

Una conmovedora historia de terror, intriga política y decisiones impensables. Hijo de Hamás es la conmovedora historia verdadera de un miembro del movimiento Hamás que rechazó su violento destino y ahora lo arriesga todo al exponer los secretos de la organización extremista islámica para mostrarle al mundo un camino hacia la paz. Mosab Hassan Yousef conoce este devastador grupo terrorista internamente desde que era un niño pequeño. Como hijo mayor de Sheikh Hassan Yousef, miembro fundador y el más famoso líder de Hamás, el joven Mosab ayudó a su padre por años en sus actividades políticas mientras era preparado para asumir su legado, ideología, estatus y poder. Pero todo cambió cuando Mosab dio la espalda al terror y a la violencia, y acogió en su lugar las enseñanzas de otro famoso líder del Medio Oriente. En Hijo de Hamás, Mosab Hassan Yousef, ahora con el nombre de “Joseph”, da a conocer nueva información sobre la organización terrorista más peligrosa del mundo y revela la verdad sobre su propio papel, la dolorosa separación de su familia y de su tierra natal, la peligrosa decisión de hacer pública su nueva fe, y su creencia de que el mandato cristiano de “amar a tus enemigos” es el único camino hacia la paz en el Medio Oriente.

Son of Hamas is now available with an all-new chapter about events since the books release such as the revelation of Mosabs Israeli intelligence handlers true identity, and Homeland Securitys effort to deport the author. 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 reveals new information about the worlds 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.

Pikkupojasta lähtien Mosab Hassan Yousefilla on ollut sisäpiirin tietoa palestiinalaisesta terroristijärjestöstä Hamasista. Järjestön perustajiin lukeutuvan Seikki Hassan Yousefin esikoispoikana nuori Mosab avusti vuosien ajan isäänsä ja valmistautui seuraamaan hänen askelissaan. Mutta kaikki alkoi muuttua, kun hän kiinnostui sellaisesta opettajasta, jonka mukaan tulee rakastaa vihollistaan ja antaa heille anteeksi. Sen jälkeen hänen oli vaikea jatkaa kostonkierrettä, ja hän vaihtoi elämänsä suunnan. Hamasin poika -kirjassa Mosab paljastaa uutta tietoa maailman vaarallisimpiin kuuluvasta terroristijärjestöstä ja kertoo totuuden omasta salaisesta roolistaan, tuskallisesta erosta kodistaan ja kotimaastaan, rohkeista valinnoistaan ja uskostaan siihen, että vihollisen rakastaminen on ainoa tie rauhaan Lähi-Idässä.
