An extraordinary story, never before told: The intimate, behind-the-scenes life of an American boy raised by his terrorist father—the man who planned the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
What is it like to grow up with a terrorist in your home? Zak Ebrahim was only seven years old when, on November 5th, 1990, his father El-Sayyid Nosair shot and killed the leader of the Jewish Defense League. While in prison, Nosair helped plan the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993. In one of his infamous video messages, Osama bin Laden urged the world to “Remember El-Sayyid Nosair.”
For Zak Ebrahim, a childhood amongst terrorism was all he knew. After his father’s incarceration, his family moved often, and as the perpetual new kid in class, he faced constant teasing and exclusion. Yet, though his radicalized father and uncles modeled fanatical beliefs, to Ebrahim something never felt right. To the shy, awkward boy, something about the hateful feelings just felt unnatural.
In this book, Ebrahim dispels the myth that terrorism is a foregone conclusion for people trained to hate. Based on his own remarkable journey, he shows that hate is always a choice—but so is tolerance. Though Ebrahim was subjected to a violent, intolerant ideology throughout his childhood, he did not become radicalized. Ebrahim argues that people conditioned to be terrorists are actually well positioned to combat terrorism, because of their ability to bring seemingly incompatible ideologies together in conversation and advocate in the fight for peace. Ebrahim argues that everyone, regardless of their upbringing or circumstances, can learn to tap into their inherent empathy and embrace tolerance over hatred. His original, urgent message is fresh, groundbreaking, and essential to the current discussion about terrorism.
本质TED演讲稿,看起来搜搜快。鸡汤+八卦,没什么深度。目标受众还是对主题没啥了解的群众。入门级非常路人友好【但讲真,对已经有偏见的人,我严重怀疑他这样写/演讲,没卵用。Narnia里Eustace总要扒层皮才能变回人,而这文章barely scratch the surface.【他字里行间赖美国政府和情报机构忙着搞办公室政治,扯皮官僚,信息封闭落后。导致911灾难。比如第一次炸双子塔就有苗头,没人重视;他爹家里被缴好几箱文件,没几人懂阿语就闲置了;搞到911后才发现此前忽略无数至关重要的情报etc。乍看起来是在推卸责任,其实这点是全书最美国魂的地方了。。
