This is a story of HOPE. Does our indignation and repulsion of the terrorists' actions blind us to their grievances? Even if their grievances were true and they were victims of gross injustice, can that ever justify killing innocent people? This is a fictional story of the very wise Sheikh Umeed, the Imam, living in New York, who has always been preaching for peace but discovers to his horror that his son has been involved with terrorist activities. We follow his experiences from initial shock and deep dismay to really trying to understand what drives ordinarily peaceful humans to extreme violence; to acknowledge injustice without condoning terrorism. He shares with us the lessons he learns along the way, how we can grow mentally and spiritually and live a life of love, peace and prosperity
