    When I was 13 years old, my parents wanted me to change my name from Osama to Rayan. They feared that my having the world’s most-wanted terrorist as my namesake would lead to me being persecuted outside of Pakistan. And so I was an adolescent crying in the bathroom, not because of puberty nor school, but because of the lose-lose situation with which I was faced: I had to change what I perceived to be the very core of my identity or face getting labeled by the world around me as a devotee of bin Laden.
