VICTORY: Mosab Yousef Granted Asylum

Deportation to Gaza would have meant certain death at the hands of a vengeful Hamas...

Maggie's Notebook has the good news: 

Mosab Yousef granted asylum

:

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 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...

Congratulations, 

Mosab Yousef

... so nice to see our prayers answered.  

And have a great 4th of July, sir!
