Marina Cantacuzino talks to Zak Ebrahim. When Zak was seven, his father shot and killed the founder of the Jewish Defence League, Rabbi Meir Kahane and later was convicted for his role in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. Zak's story is one of transforming his past and learning to reject bigotry and hate.
The son of Al Qaeda extremist El Sayyid Nosair who assassinated Rabbi Meir Kahane, opens up in a heartfelt, honest conversation about growing up around those who were planning to bring New York City, while being groomed to be a domestic terrorist and why he chose not to follow in his father's footsteps.
Zak Ebrahim's first memories were of a dad who was playful and made the family laugh. But at the age of 7, Zak's father committed an act of hate so radical that he was publicly thanked by Osama Bin Laden. On November 5th, 1990 El Sayyid Nosair shot and killed Rabbi Meir Kahane, the leader of the Jewish Defense League. He was also convicted and sent to prison for his involvement in the 1993 terrorist bombing of the World Trade Center that killed six people. After moving 20 times in 20 years, Zak changed his name and started a new life, taking painful lessons from the radicalization that surrounded his youth, and forging his own peaceful path of empathy and unity for all human-kind.

Amna and Alyssa recap the conversations with Zak Ebrahim and Lena Arkawi with comments from listeners. Plus, a preview of next week
Zak Ebrahim's father is notorious for all the wrong reasons - a convicted terrorist, serving a life sentence for conspiracy in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Ebrahim went on to reject his father's ideology, changed his name, and became an advocate for peace, often working with the same people he was once taught to hate. In this conversation, Amna digs into what made him question his upbringing, and whether or not he'll ever see his father again. Like what we're doing?

In this Disruptive Conversation, Zak and I explore several powerful lessons he has learned along his journey. He places considerable currency on the need for perseverance. In this conversation, he argues that it is an important part of the journey in learning to have a conversation with people who do not share your perspective.In our conversation, he talks about how few of us think about the many ways that extremism affects the families of the extremist. Much emphasis is placed on the family of victims but rarely do we thinking about the children of terrorist and how they are affected when their parents are arrested. For Zak, he found growing up with a father who espoused views of hate to be confusing. He was taught to think that people who did not share these extremist views were evil.

Zak Ebrahim speaks as part of the CREATE Distinguished Speaker Series. On November 5th, 1990, when Zak Ebrahim was seven years old, his father assassinated Rabbi Meir Kahane, leader of the Jewish Defense League. Although initially acquitted of the murder, while serving time on assault and weapons charges, Ebrahim's father began planning attacks on a dozen New York City landmarks including tunnels, synagogues, and United Nations headquarters. Thankfully those plans were foiled by an FBI informant. Sadly, the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center was not. Ebrahim's father, El-Sayed Nosair would eventually be convicted for his involvement in the plot. As an adult, Ebrahim realized the only way to overcome the challenges of his past was to help others understand that hatred only produces more hate, but belief in non-violence heals. Those cycles of violence, no matter how old, do not have to continue forever. Ebrahim has twice spoken at TED events. The first event was at a talent search at TED@NYC in Oct 2013. "With quiet, mesmerizing sincerity, Zak Ebrahim told the story of being raised by an extremist father who would eventually be convicted in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing - and how he used his personal encounters with other faiths and cultures to overwrite that narrative of hatred and bigotry. "Violence is not inherent in any religion or race," he says. "The son does not have to follow the father." He dedicates his testimony to all victims of terrorism.'" -The Quirky Talks of Ted, TED NYC BIOGRAPHY: 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-Sayyid 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 of his father. He now dedicates his life to speaking out against terrorism and spreading his message of peace and nonviolence. In 2013, he participated in TED's talent search in New York City, and was selected to speak at the main conference, TED2014, in Vancouver, BC. His TED talk was released on Sept 9, 2014, in conjunction with his TED Book, The Terrorist's Son: A Story of Choice. Established in 2004, CREATE is an interdisciplinary national research center based at the University of Southern California and funded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The DHS Center of Excellence is focused on risk and economic analysis and comprises a team of experts from across the country, including partnerships with numerous universities and research institutions.
