When deciding to move to Israel about ten years ago, Joseph Cohen, a Jew from the United States, only a desire to apply the teachings of Judaism better. He's very confident, he moved it would make her religious beliefs increasingly thick. Moving from America, Cohen then settled in the Jewish settlements in Gush Qatif in Gaza, before the territory was abandoned by the Israeli army in 2005. After three years of settling in her new home, unexpectedly, Cohen met a Sheikh from United Arab Emirates. The meeting was opened the door for dialogue between himself and the Muslim leaders. Both then cool to engage in theological dialogue though woven in remote through the internet. Apparently, the dialogue that gradually led Cohen in the light of Islam. Her heart began to open to receive such guidance. Until then, he actually decided to give two-sentence confession of faith after being assured of the truth conveyed by the Sheikh of Islam through the process of dialogue. Even without hesitation, he later changed his name to Yousef al-Khattab. Alhamdulillah, Cohen steps that have been renamed Yousef was followed by his wife and four children. They followed his decision to become converts. But not the case with his extended family. His family is known to adhere to the Judaism no longer willing to acknowledge him. His family did not like to see converted to Islam. Moreover, Yousef then actively preaching among Jews. ''I was no longer associated with my family. We should not decide kinship, but the sides of my family is Jewish by the Jewish entity her. I have no choice but to break contact for now. The last words that they launched at me, they said that I was barbaric,''said Yousef told the relationship with his family at one time. Yousef was not just a Muslim. He decided to become a preacher for the Jews. He admitted, preaching among the Jews is not an easy job. The first thing to be done to introduce Islam is, that there is only one manhaj in Islam is manhaj brought by Muhammad sallallahu which is then forwarded by the companions and successors to the present. ''The best way to prove that Islam is a religion for all mankind is to provide an explanation based on Quranic verses and the difference between human beings is ketaqwaannya on God alone,''he said. Islam''is not a racist religion. We've got the evidence is very strong, the word of God and the words of the Prophet Muhammad. We strive not to hate the infidels. We fight only for the sake of God alone, to fight those who want to kill us, that colonize our country, the spread of Western ideology munkar and deploy in our country,''he continued. Based on his experience, he saw the basic teachings of Judaism are very different from Islam. The main difference is the problem of monotheism. Judaism, said Yousef, believed in the intermediary and the intermediary they are rabbis. Jews pray through the mediation of Rabbis. Judaism is the belief that''based on a human. In contrast to Islam, the religion based on the Qur'an and Sunnah. In all the mosques around the world, we listen to the Qur'an is the Qur'an the same,''he said. In addition, Yousef said, Yahudisme also based on the 'oral tradition', for example, the Talmud is compiled based on information by word of mouth which is then recorded. So that the validity of the book could be questioned. According to him, the Torah that is believed to be the Jews now have eleven different versions and manuscripts Torah is no longer the original manuscript. ''Thank God, God gives grace to us all with an easy religion, where many people can memorize the Koran from generation to generation,''he explained, saying dialogue is the best way of preaching among the Jews.
