Ziada was profiled last Thursday by BBC World Report as a champion of nonviolent reform speaking out against female genital mutilation (of which she is a survivor).<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u00ab\u00a0Martin Luther King&rsquo;s legacy offers a powerful alternative to violence, and we hope this new Arabic comic book can inspire young Middle Easterners to take responsible action for reform,\u00a0\u00bb said Ziada.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The comic book was printed in Cairo and will be distributed to thousands of readers across the region as well as released online. \u00ab\u00a0A colorful comic book about a campaign that happened over fifty years ago in a far-off country is actually a great way to teach about nonviolence,\u00a0\u00bb Ziada explained. \u00ab\u00a0The struggle of Martin Luther King in Montgomery, when he was not even thirty years old, has lessons for young people today in the Middle East.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The comic book was translated and designed by young reformers in the region. It features full-color panels depicting the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a campaign to end segregation on buses in the capitol of the state of Alabama. The comic book ends with a section on \u00ab\u00a0how the Montgomery Method works,\u00a0\u00bb outlining essential techniques of nonviolence.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u00ab\u00a0The comic book is being published to give people hope,\u00a0\u00bb Ziada observed. \u00ab\u00a0There were many obstacles in the way of the Martin Luther King, but his message and his techniques helped make his society stronger, safer, and more free. We hope for the same.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The American Islamic Congress is a civil-rights organization promoting tolerance and the exchange of ideas. With the motto \u00ab\u00a0passionate about moderation,\u00a0\u00bb the organization leads initiatives around the world and has offices in Washington, Boston, Egypt, and Iraq.<\/p>\n<p
