It is one way of rebelling against the misguided doctrination that his father forced upon him. Converting to another religion - from one mythology to another. And he dreams of returning to Ramallah with Jesus, in the kingdom of God. There you go ! But leaving Islam because of the hamas doctrine is a misguided and shallow act in itself because hamas is not Islam - even though the hamas doctrinaires (like his father) believe otherwise, as do all the fundamentalists of Judaeism and Christianity. They all believe that theirs is the right path because they follow God`s word. And God would be confused if He tries to fathom how their conflicting beliefs are attributed to Him. To jump a fundamentalist sinking ship into another fundamentalist sinking ship is no relief. "Joseph`s" father has done a bad job. |
