Judge Grants Asylum to Former Israeli Spy Accused of Being Terrorist Threat

SAN DIEGO -- The son of a Hamas founder who became a Christian and an Israeli spy will be granted U.S. asylum after he passes a routine background check, an immigration judge ruled Wednesday.

Mosab Hassan Yousef got the news during a 15-minute deportation hearing after a U.S. Department of Homeland Security attorney said the government was dropping its objections.

The agency denied Yousef's asylum request in February 2009, arguing that he had been involved in terrorism and was a threat to the United States.

Attorney Kerri Calcador gave no explanation for the government's change of heart.

"...Attorney Kerri Calcador gave no explanation for the government's change of heart."

First, many people were praying for him. Many.

Second, 30 million plus Evangelicals were watching to see if the U.S. government was going to, in essence, impose a death warrant on Mosab by sending him back to Gaza. Perhaps they were attempting to mitigate the horrific political fallout if they had.

Amen!

Once again the Israelis have pushed their cost off onto the American tax payers, nothing new there.

[Salem]

And how do you figure that?

This should be good.

[Hayride]

What fantastic news. That still doesn’t erase the fact that the desire was there by those in power to kill Yousef off.

[Lera]

Hallelu Yah!

Thanks for the ping

[Lera]

Put down the crack pipe , mkay. The Israelis have not pushed anything on us and this man is going to be a great blessing to this country. No cost to the tax payers , he has a best selling book so he won't be holding his hand out for anything.

[org.whodat]

Stick the crack pipe where it belongs, the fool will be hunted and therefore protected by the tax payer. If he is telling the truth, which I doubt sooner are later some nut will kill him.

[EDINVA]

Praise God! Wonderful news.

Walid Shoebat - Palestinian converted to Christiany - author and openly lectures against Islam

Hormoz Shariat - Iranian converted to Christianity runs a muslim convert churches in the US

There are more like these two and they don’t use government protection nor are they on any kind of support
Mosab will end up just like them and maybe just maybe one of the muslims they might reach is one who would have carried out an attack on this country.
Your anti semitism is blinding you.

[org.whodat]

BS, have no anti anything, but I don't make exceptions because someone spins a tall tail when they break into the country illegally. If he's was the Israel's patsy, then by all means he should go over there and live.

[Lera]

Applying for political asylum does not equate to entering the country illegally.

[Tweeker]

Very good news
