Mosab Hassan Yousef is an
incredible example of someone who was able to break away from a
destructive, venomous society which had created its own set of truths
and norms, and look at reality from a different perspective. There are
very few people in the world that capable of doing that. Yet Yousef,
known by his cover name, “The Green Prince”, found himself reexamining
all of the axioms he had been taught by his father, Sheikh Hassan
Yousef, one of the founders of the Hamas. What makes Yousef unique is
that is he able and willing to come forward and state that he does not
oppose individual people, but he feels that Muslim society needs to
rethink its value system. That is what he did individually. “I’ve seen
death and I came from hell,” he explains. It is an incredibly courageous
thing to stand up against your own society’s basic beliefs, and a
equally as courageous to speak about it.
Yousef’s hope and
optimism for the Muslim People is utopian, but, having lived in that
world and gone through that exact journey himself, he is the one person
that can give us all the faith that things can change, and the desire to
work to make that hope a reality.
