That majority does not necessarily support the Islamists. Iran is a totalitarian state and opposing the government is difficult, but another revolution is not out of the question.<\/p>\n<p>The article concludes with a short sketch of Mosab Hassan Yousef&#8221;s biography:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Yousef grew up in the West Bank amid limited opportunities and resources, with many of his classmates either dropping out of school or working manual labor in Israel. He was taught to fear Jews and only met Israelis in \u201cuniform\u201d when he turned 27.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Yousef, in his book, discusses his life as a member of Hamas, including sexual abuse he suffered as a child and his time in Israeli prisons before agreeing to work with Shin Bet. He ultimately fled to the US, where he continues to live and work, speaking out about his experiences with Hamas.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>During his time in prison, Yousef started studying the Bible, and he converted to Christianity in 1999. He then fled to the US in 2007, where he experienced some culture shock due to the \u201cfalse ideologies\u201d that have flooded Western nations, such as \u201cnew age theories\u201d that he finds can be \u201cas dangerous as extreme or terrorist ideologies.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u201cI am not shocked anymore by human delusion,\u201d Yousef said. \u201cYou can say whether if it\u2019s in the West or in the East, it\u2019s the human condition, and time will prove every theory to be actually based according to the universal design, evolution \u2013 even though evolution is a very sensitive term \u2013 or narratives with dead ends.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u201cI appreciate the freedom of speech, even though I have been canceled many times by liberals and mainstream media, which is basically \u2013 I don\u2019t want to say it\u2019s shocking, but it\u2019s fascinating to see people who swear by the name of liberty and democracy, but in practice, they are the opposite,\u201d he added.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u201cFor me, this is my journey, and it doesn\u2019t matter what people perceive on the outside,\u201d he stressed. \u201cWhat matters to me is what I\u2019m learning, what I am seeing as I evolve and integrate.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Mosab Hassan Yousef&#8221;s story and stories from other terrorists like him who have become Christians are the real answer to terrorism.
