“I Was a Radical Muslim — I Know What Hamas Really Wants” | Loay Alshareef

“I was a radical Muslim — I know what Hamas really wants.” In this powerful conversation, Saudi-born Muslim peace activist Loay Alshareef explains why he believes the West fundamentally misunderstands Hamas, radical Islam, Israel, and the Middle East. Loay speaks from personal experience. He describes himself as a former radical Muslim who once harbored hatred toward Jews and Israel — before encounters with Jewish people completely changed the direction of his life. In this interview, Loay discusses: • Why he says “no one understands radical Islam more than me — because I was a radical” • Why he calls some Western self-proclaimed Middle East experts “useful idiots” • What Hamas actually believes about Jews and Israel • Why he says Israel is not 78 years old — it is 3,000 years old • Why Jewish history in Jerusalem cannot simply be erased • The difference between moderate Islam and radical Islam • His warning about radical Islam in Europe • Why the children of Gaza could become a force for either radicalization or reconciliation • Why he believes October 7 was designed to derail Saudi-Israel normalization • The future of the Abraham Accords • Why he tells protesters: “Free Palestine — from Hamas” This is a fascinating perspective from an Arab Muslim voice who has gone from radicalism and hostility toward Israel to publicly defending peace, Jewish history, and Israel’s place in the Middle East.
