Zak Ebrahim wants speak at the Rally to Restore Sanity!!!
Edited on Sun Sep-19-10 12:27 PM by LiberalVoice
I am a 27 year old American born peace advocate and lecturer and the son of a convicted terrorist. I recently came out with my story in the hopes of combating the negative stereotypes most often associated with Muslims in America.

I was exposed to a fanatical ideology as a child and yet I didn't become fantasized. I'm sharing my life story to show that if I can choose to promote tolerance then it's ridiculous to think that the vast majority of Muslims(who have no ties at all to terrorists) are fanatics and/or terrorist sympathizers. The goal of this Facebook page is to encourage Stewart and Colbert to have me speak at the Rally to Restore Sanity! Please share this page with your friends and help spread the word! Thanks!

1. I wish we could get you some media attention to counter the
BS stereotypes... I don't do facebook (and I know I'm not alone) for many reasons, but I will gladly spread the word otherwise.

Anything you can do to get the word out is much appreciated. :hi: As a matter of fact I just had an interview today with Chris Hedges(Pulitzer Prize winner) for www.truthdig.com Hopefully he will mention it in his article too.
