author could have went through. I
hate that beliefs like the ones the
author learned were not taught
based on interest. He wanted to
learn these ideas then this would be
a different case. Nevertheless, he
was forced to live a purpose filled
with anger and violence. This is
brainwashing. I do not understand
why a group or a father would go
this far to support a cause so
destructive and mentally painful.

Like father, like son.
This was a very powerful quote, but
I did not like it. As I read, I
understood that the author was
nothing like his father. I do not like
how his father is forcing him to
walk in his shoes. The author, when
he a child, was filled with love and
empathy, but only learned hatred
and evil.

bond is closer than sharing the

same blood.
Nothing makes my skin crawl more
when someone puts something else
over their family. The reason I do
the things I do is for my family.
There should not be a cause high
enough to make one neglect family.
What makes this worst is that his
father is the man of the house. He
should be trying to stay away from
danger to protect his wife and child.

In my opinion, it is not exactly true,

but it is true enough. From what I
have seen, most terrorist seem to
have a form of prejudice against a
particular group. I do not know if
the exact outcome is becoming a
terrorist. My only question would
be; do you dislike anyone know?
