Inside the Mind of the 'Son of Hamas'

This week we’re talking to someone whose views on Islam don’t get a lot of airtime.  Mosab Hassan Yousef is a bright and disarming 32-year-old. And he is the eldest son of one of the founding leaders of the Islamic militant group, Hamas. For years he was groomed to assume his father’s place — a position of great status, and power. Instead he became an undercover agent for the Israeli government.  He now rejects the founder of Islam as a prophet of violence - for reasons that are complex, highly personal and surprising.
