A fascinating interview with Mosab Hassan Yousef, son of one of Hamas' founders. He worked as a spy in Hamas for the Shin Bet (Israel's FBI it seems, since I think Mossad is their CIA).
He was coverted to Christianity during this time, and has since quit being a spy and is now living in the US.
What I found fascinating, and do agree with, is that he views Muslims as trapped by Allah. He says that Allah is a fundamentalist terrorist god, and that by extension his followers, even peaceful moderate Muslims, are stuck.
Does YHWH, or Jehovah, or "God" have issues in the Judeo-Christian tradition? Yes. Many parts of the Old Testament are VERY hard to reconcile with the God who sends his Son to die for us in Jesus Christ.
Islam, from the beginning was spread by war with the prophet Muhammed leading a mercenary army to capture Mecca.
Am I saying there is no difference between peaceful "moderate" Muslims and terrorists? Of course not. There is a difference.
However, the god they serve is NOT the same as the Christian God. At least not the one understood since Christ.
Also, this doesn't mean that there aren't plenty of Christians who pervert the Bible or Christ's teachings, but that isn't what this post is about.
But, the prophet Muh
