I keep the tv on while I’m reading a book, since my voice is gone and my head isn’t working with all that codeine I’m getting.  The book, Cairo Circles  by Doma Mahmoud, is about a guy whose cousin blows himself up in a terrorist attack.  And the news they are interviewing a cousin of the Bedouin who stabbed 4 people to death before he was killed.  The cousin on TV is asking that the country dedicate a day of learning about this kind of incident.  He’s just said that his cousin is from a normative family and no one had an inkling of his extremist beliefs.
