Everyone's suspicious, man. Maybe your family was in on it, maybe not. Just lay low, and don't draw attention to yourself. It'll all die down - maybe. Just don't ask how..Everyone's suspicious, man.

As the 9/11 terror attacks unfolded no media coverage specifically named Osama Bin Laden as 100% responsible, in fact many were careful not to even speculate until more information was available, so the live news coverage when Ramy looks for his seat in class would not have shown Osama Bin Laden as The Towers still stood. It wasn't until 9:30am that George Tenant of the CIA even notified the president of who was responsible so it wasn't verified as 100% true to media until much later.

A flashback episode to a young Ramy. He is texting on his computer and wanting to learn how to jerk off.

What looks like an episode about raging hormones of a lad going through adolescence becomes something different.

At school, this becomes a story of Ramy in a post 9/11 America.

In a flash, Ramy and his family are not seen as Egyptians or Muslim Americans but terrorists.

Some of the hate is subtle, not being invited to pool parties anymore. Then there is the upfront name calling.

His father even hails the US Flag on the porch in an effort to show their patriotism.

I doubt this was an easy episode to write for Ramy Youssef. I guess American Muslims will get more out of this episode with the sense of how it felt at the time.
