温柔的爸爸为什么会变成极端分子 比利时布鲁塞尔3月22日早上发生爆炸案,已至少造成三十四人死亡,逾两百人受伤。国际极端组织“伊斯兰国”(ISIS)宣布对布鲁塞尔自杀式恐袭负责。我们为此哀悼的同时,容易忽略了一个事实,这些暴力恐怖袭击中的“受害者”不限于此,其...
评分故事不算长,看书快的人也许一个小时就能翻完。但是带给我们的思考却不是短时间就能消化的。 整本书最感动的文字是后记这一段文字: 将一个人变成恐怖分子的第一步,就是将它变成一个心胸狭隘的人。你只要找到一个脆弱的人——一个已经失去了他的信心、他的收入、他的自尊西...
评分没想到会以这本书作为2016的开篇书。 在书架上看到,首先被名字吸引,再来是它的副标题——「一个关于选择的故事」。 似乎是,在带走这本书的当下,我也面临着什么选择。毕竟,我给自己的人生设想了无数种可能性,每种可能性的背后,都站着「选择」。人生很短暂,也许选择了左...
评分在生活里,我们无时无刻不在面临着选择的问题。一个一个的选择又最终构成了我们人生的完整面貌。但在一些命运论的忠实信徒看来,选择从来不是真正的问题,早已天定的命运决定了一切。《我的父亲是恐怖分子》确实是一个选择的故事,但一不小心也会掉入命运的泥淖。 作者扎克...
评分偏见和选择,讲的最好的古代小说典范是《红楼梦》。 第二回开始讲贾政在贾宝玉一岁的时候让其“抓周”,自此一直到小说写到最后,也不曾原谅过贾宝玉在一岁的时候“抓周”的结果。用冷子兴的口说出了贾政的话:“抓周时不取之墨笔砚,单抓脂粉钗环;竟说:“女儿是水作的骨肉...

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.
刚到手一晚上就看完了
评分恐怖分子的家庭生活竟然也这么寻常,修水管带孩子荡秋千,仿佛安炸弹只是普通的业余爱好。可见仇恨藏的多深。这也正是可怕之处吧
评分本质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。。
评分should have been a powerful story but maybe not told that way.
