Born in the West Bank, the son of an American mother, he says he was a Palestinian Liberation Organization terrorist in his youth who helped firebomb an Israeli bank in Bethlehem and spent time in an Israeli jail.

That billing helps him land speaking engagements like a May event in Rapid City -- a forum put on by the state Office of Homeland Security, which paid Shoebat $5,000 for the appearance.

  • quran8:37 [This is] so that Allah may distinguish the wicked from the good and place the wicked some of them upon others and heap them all together and put them into Hell. It is those who are the losers

  • quran8:36 Indeed, those who disbelieve spend their wealth to avert [people] from the way of Allah . So they will spend it; then it will be for them a [source of] regret; then they will be overcome. And those who have disbelieved - unto Hell they will be gathered

  • Liars can be seen from their faces, as they're uncomfortable about the lies which they tell, they're turning their heads and eyes, around and around all the time. Ignorance can only be repelled with knowledge, knowledge is a cure for humanity so search for it, don't be lazy about knowing the truth.

  • by the way: at 1:20 he has read the Quranic verse wrongly, an Arab who read Quran wouldn't read it like that, it means he was never a practicing Muslim far from being moudjahid activist.
