Zak Ebrahim Quotes

...turning Someone Into A Bigot Is The First Step In Turning Him Into A Terrorist. You Find Someone Vulnerable - Someone Who's Lost His Confidence, His Income, His Pride, His Agency. Someone Who Feels Humiliated By Life. And Then You Isolate Him. You Fill Him With Fear And Fury, And You See To It That He Regards Anybody Who's Different As A Faceless Target - A Silhouette At A Shooting Range Like Calverton - Rather Than A Human Being. But Even People Who've Been Raised On Hate Since Birth, People Whose Minds Have Been Warped And Weaponized, Can Make A Choice About Who They Want To Be. And They Can Be Extraordinary Advocates For Peace, Precisely Because They've Seen The Effects Of Violence, Discrimination And Disenfranchisement Firsthand. People Who Have Been Victimized Can Understand More Deeply Than Anyone How Little The World Needs More Victims.
