Zak Ebrahim

Groomed for terror, Zak Ebrahim chose a different life. Touching on religious intolerance and extremism, anti-bullying, diversity, and breaking down stereotypes, Ebrahim traces his remarkable journey to escape his father's terrible legacy, coming to realize that the only way to overcome the challenges of his past would be to help others understand that hatred onlyo produces more hate, but belief in non-violence heals. Those cycles of violence, no matter how old, do not have to continue forever. Crisscrossing the eastern United States, from Pittsburgh to Memphis, from a mosque in Jersey City to the Busch Gardens theme park in Tampa, Ebrahim’s story is one of a boy inculcated in dogma and hate—a boy presumed to follow in his father’s footsteps—and the man who chose a different path.
