People need to understand this material, even if Ezra insists on using the ‘extremist’ and ‘fundamentalist view of Islam’ when really its about the sharp end of the spear. But even so, he makes the link between Islam and violent supremacism that is the one people need to understand.

It seems the new arrivals are Yemenis. And the locals are freaked out because they’re scared the new people in town have evil designs on Grand Gulf.
Second, we’re told by someone in law enforcement who is in a position to offer actual knowledge of the case that the suspect in question is of Middle Eastern descent, with a name on his driver’s license indicating that he is of a particular cultural and religious persuasion not common to the Mississippi Delta, and that the suspect is 20 years old.
