Kamran Smith seems to have it all; he’s got a beautiful girlfriend, he’s on top of his football game AND his best friend just scored them free tickets to the Super Bowl. But suddenly, life takes a sharp turn for the worse. Kamran’s older brother, Darius, who had been fighting loyally in the US Army in Afghanistan, is identified as a terrorist. He’s seen on video as the bomber of the US Embassy in Turkey. A few days later, he releases a video ranting against infidels and declaring his mission to wage holy war on the United States.
I've noticed a lot of conflict through out reading. In the book it says "That Arabic kid doesn't deserve to live anymore." Throughout the book, Darius is bullied for his nationality. In the story he gets threatened because they think he's a terrorist; hes the only Arabic in the army. I think that the other people think that of Darius because they're currently fighting against Iraq.
