Biography of Walid Shoebat

Born in Bethlehem of Judea, Walid's grandfather was the Muslim Mukhtar (chieftain) of Beit Sahour-Bethlehem (The Shepherd's Fields) and a friend of Haj-Ameen Al-Husseni, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and notorious friend of Adolf Hitler.

Walid's great grandfather, Abdullah Ali Awad-Allah, was also a fighter and close associate of both Abdul Qader and Haj Amin Al-Husseini, who led the Palestinians against Israel. Walid lived through and witnessed Israel’s Six Day War while living in Jericho.

As a young man, he became a member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, and participated in acts of terror and violence against Israel, and was later imprisoned in the Russian Compound, Jerusalem's central prison for incitement and violence against Israel.

After his release, he continued his life of violence and rioting in Bethlehem and the Temple Mount. After entering the U.S, he worked as a counselor for the Arab Student Organization at Loop College in Chicago and continued his anti-Israel activities.

In 1993, Walid studied the Tanach (Jewish Bible) in a challenge to convert his wife to Islam. Six months later, after intense study, Walid realized that everything he had been taught about Jews was a lie. Convinced he was on the side of evil, he became an advocate for his former enemy.

Driven by a deep passion to heal his own soul, and to bring the truth about the Jews and Israel to the world, Walid shed his former life and his work as a software engineer and set out to tirelessly bring the cause of Israel to tens of thousands of people throughout the world: churches and synagogues, civic groups, government leaders and media.

Walid has written several online books including "Dear Muslim, Let Me Tell You Why I Believed" and "Israel, And The World's Mock Trial”, where he exposes anti-Semitism and the hatred of Jews in both the Islamic Christian and secular worlds.

Walid is an American citizen and lives in the USA with his wife and children, under this assumed name.

I've heard this man speak on the radio, if I'm thinking of the right person. I had not idea he was the Mukhtar's grandson. Oh, my!

"In an extraordinary event, three former terrorists will be together at Princeton University to present insights into the mind of a suicide bomber."

These three don't seem to have the relevant experience for the task though?

why are they coming here to earn money?
i'm sure the productive palestinians have a humming economy and everything is peachy with them now that israel is out of gaza
wait, never mind, even that wasn't enough to make them stop blaming israel for all their self inflicted religious zealotry

i'm gonna blame my Prof next time i do bad on my anatomy exam, i wonder how far that will get me

Maybe, maybe not. On NJ101.5, who announced this event, said there will be '4' terrorists, one of these guys personally knows al zarqawi.

How much of this is a publicity stunt for a $15,000 speaking engagement? I don't know. But it is listed on the Princeton University calendar as a blacked out event (broadcast wise) and I had to get the details from WND.

Just another gang-banger who grew up, read something other than the Koran and saw the light. Isn't he risking his life speaking against his former religion? He should read the new testament and really experience the truth.

So Judaism isn't the "Truth"?

For insight into the mind of a suiside bomber, look inside the mind of the typical Democrat voter. Same thing.

What does Judaism have to do with anti-semitism? Usually, it's the people they hate. They don't even bother studying the ideas and the faith.

You made mention of studying the new testament as a way of getting the truth when he had, in fact, studied Judasim which is what sorted him out.

Glad he turned his life around and realized the truth. Good for him. If only there were more like him.

Yes he is making a living speaking out against terrorism. I really can't understand why conservatives would have a problem with capitalism.

Just be glad he is a sellout, not a terrorist. America can live contently with committed sellouts in it. It can't live contently with terrorists. Same goes for other countries.
