具体描述
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.

读后感
这本售价36元的书其实没几页纸，故事也没我想象中那么精彩。主要内容就是讲述一个生长在穆斯林家庭的男孩子如何认清父亲是恐怖分子的事实，并逐步解开心结理解这个世界的故事。篇幅虽然不长，不过书中关于种族、宗教和恐怖主义的讨论在近年来可是个热门话题。 从2001年的9.11事...
评分我认为低智、偏执、思想贫乏是最大的邪恶。——王小波 王小波的这句话说的很对，但从“最”的角度看，他也是个偏执的人，这也可以反推进他的话里，他也是邪恶的，只不过是众生都有的那种小坏而已。当然邪恶也是人性的一部分，我是这样认为的，是的，我也偏执，我也邪恶。 但...
评分陌生人，我也为你祝福 读《我父亲是恐怖分子》 文/方木鱼 说起来很搞笑。这本书全名是《我父亲是恐怖分子——一个关于选择的故事》，然后下面很巧地注上了：罗永浩感动推荐。 结果问题恰恰就处在这上面。我以为这本书是罗永浩写的。然后，我以为这个标题是以罗永浩的锤子手机...
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。。
