Every American should read this story because the world needs the US more then ever. <br/><br/>My Part in 9/11 is the fascinating and entertaining tale of Tarek who was born in Germany of an Egyptian father and a German mother. He grows up there exposed to radical Islam, fascism, Anti-Semitism and German Anti-Americanism. <br/><br/>With 16 he goes to spend a high school exchange year in the Bible Belt in a mainly baptist community. In a mood of adolescent rebellion against his host environment he decides to adopt the pose of a radical jihadist. What begins as a prank becomes increasingly bitter and Tarek commits the mistake of his life. Years later life offers him the chance to redeem himself. <br/><br/>Finally Tarek comes to the conviction that only through the existence of the USA a half-decent world is guaranteed.
