For if we do, we find courage. For if we do, we find hope. For if we do, we may in fact find peace.
If you're a praying guy or gal, Mr. Hussain deserves and needs your prayers. His eyes are open. His mouth speaks truth. May he continue seeing and speaking. And might he be joined by others of his faith who will have his courage to do the same.
This needs to go viral.
H/T Seraphic Secret who adds:
Here at Seraphic Secret we're always hearing about the vast ocean of moderate Muslims who oppose the, er, minority of radical Islamists.
For the most part, we dismiss this view because as history tell us--over and over again--a silent and ethically pliable majority easily slip into the role of enthusiastic genocidaires.
Thus, when a true moderate Muslim steps forward and speaks unspeakable truths in defense of Israel and the Jewish people we praise such rare and courageous behavior.
Amran Hussain, a Muslim, spoke at the UN on behalf of the European Union of Jewish Students. We confess to a queasy feeling in the pit of the stomach, fearing for the life of this decent young man, because in the Muslim world, he will, no doubt, be denounced as a heretic and agent of the Mossad.

He's a "Dead man walking" thanks to the "Religion of Peace".

If you want to find more like him, I suggest any public square in Islamistan. They'll be buried up to their shoulders in sand, hands bound behind their backs, stoned to death.

Might we find more? Not likely, and the answer comes in your update: "a silent and ethically pliable majority easily slip into the role of enthusiastic genocidaires."
The so-called moderates will go along o get along and as long as the fanatics are looking like they will survive the moderates will be silent and if the fanatics look like they might win the moderates will come out and back them. If and only if we can drive the fanatics to the very brink of destruction will we ever see these moderates come out in any numbers.
We are in this alone and the so-called moderates will never help. They see it as being in their best interests not to until the very end.

The Majority of people in the world are sheep, and as long as the wolves are roaming, they won't come out.
