Short Answer
1. In Chapters 1-3, Kamran is at the Homecoming dance with his girlfriend, Julia. After a classmate makes a derogatory remark about his brother Darius, Kamran beats him up and is promptly sent to the principal’s office. (Chapters 1-3)
2. Kamran and his family learn that Darius is the prime suspect in a recent terrorist attack by al-Qaeda on the US embassy in Turkey. Kamran is in disbelief and believes his brother is brainwashed, as his brother swore an oath to protect the US after graduating from West Point; however, Darius releases a video that confirms everyone’s worst suspicions: he led the attacks. (Chapters 4-5)
3. His peers assume that he is also involved in terrorist activity. Additionally, they think he is Arab and Muslim; however, as an Iranian, he is Persian, and his family does not practice religion.
