Beskrivelse
A Pakistani man comes to grad school in the US and falls in love with the country. But he encounters rampant discrimination. His beard is torn from his face. He undergoes a rectal exam. He is mercilessly beaten. He becomes completely radicalized after the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen in which millions of Muslims have died and in which the US has played a leading or a supportive role. His brother is killed by an American bomb. He wants to assassinate the US president. When the protagonist had not been radicalized, he had discovered a clear line of sight to the White House. At the last minute he is consumed by remorse and aborts his plan. The moral of the book is that the president should be moved to a secure location. That way future presidents would be protected.
