Beschreibung:
Zak Ebrahim was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on March 24, 1983, the son of an Egyptian industrial engineer and an American school teacher. When Ebrahim was seven, his father shot and killed the founder of the Jewish Defense League, Rabbi Meir Kahane. From behind bars his father, El-Sayed Nosair, co-masterminded the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. Ebrahim spent the rest of his childhood moving from city to city, hiding his identity from those who knew him. He now dedicates his life to speaking out against terrorism and spreading his message of peace and nonviolence.
Zak Ebrahim argues that the same disenfranchisement that often turns a person toward terrorism can also make him a tremendous spokesperson for peace
